It looks like there's been a new development in the search for an actor to portray the villain in
Superman: The Man of Steel.
Variety reports that Viggo Mortensen will now NOT be starring in
Snow White and the Huntsman, formally ending months of negotiations. Here is an excerpt from their report which makes things a little clearer:
Dropping out of negotiations leaves the door open for Mortensen to take the role of the villain in Warner Bros.' ''Superman: Man of Steel,'' which is scheduled to shoot at the same time as ''Huntsman.''
Warner Bros. would not comment, but ''Superman'' director Zack Snyder is reportedly interested in Mortensen.
What do you guys think? Despite both Michael Shannon and Edgar Ramirez recently being linked to an undisclosed villainous role in the upcoming movie, will Snyder now cast the actor who was rumored to be his first choice? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
