As always, rumors are rife with any big CBM and Snyder's Superman(Man Of Steel?) is no different. We have heard that Matthew Goode is a likely contender to play the man himself, and now we have some more speculation as to the story the film may follow. A few days ago CBMer MrDCUniverse posted a story from a casting website, and revealed potential plot details for the film. Well, it looks like they may have been accurate as Whats Playing's synopsis is very similar. The fact that this comes from a fairly reliable source does lend it some validity, since they did not post this as a rumor themselves and seem fairly certain that this is on the level..
From Whats Playing..
...though the film will feature the ‘red/blue blur’, Clark Kent will be the central focus of the story.
In the Christopher Nolan produced reboot, Kent’s “a young journalist, traveling for the globe, who would rather solve problems and help people without resorting to using his special powers.”
“When he is compelled to use his secret powers to intervene in a crisis in West Africa, Clark returns to Smallville to learn more about his origins and the hero he was born to be”.
Its certainly in keeping with the young, globe trotting adventurer Clark that Snyder has already hinted at himself. But what do you think of the African crises/seeming lack of super villain stuff?
