Wednesday people.  We’re done with the first half. Good work out there everyone. Today, I’m gonna talk about superheroes. Not in general but the big one. The one called Superman. It’s casting rumor day here at Moviemind News. On to the story…

Dark Horizons tells us that with both Brandon Routh and Tom Welling confirmed to not be slipping into the blue tights, and confirmation that George Miller is skewing young with the cast, an unconfirmed rumor har surfaced that mentions an entirely new name:

“About three weeks ago some casting sessions took place in London’s SoHo area for a movie called Justice League. I didn’t know what it was until I saw the character list later. I would have figured it out earlier but with a movie like that one they don’t let them actually read from the proper script until they’re officially cast. Anyway after going through a whole bunch of British actors, I heard today that one of them has been cast as Superman. Anyway, the guy everyone is talking about is called Rupert Evans.”

The 30-year-old baby-faced British thesp is best remembered as rookie agent John Myers in Guillermo Del Toro’s adaptation of the comic “Hellboy” (2004).

Ok then, so finally we have potential name. There has been a lot of rumors. This could, of course, also be a rumor but… I have a good feeling about this one. Rupert could be the one…
