British actor
Henry Cavill is going up, up
and away.
Cavill will star as Superman
(and, obviously, Clark Kent)
in the next installment of the
movie franchise. Warner
Bros. Pictures announced the
casting Sunday.
The film is to be directed by
“ 300” director Zack Snyder,
who says in a statement
Cavill is “the perfect choice
to don the cape and `S’
shield.”
No title has been announced
for the film, which is
intended to reboot the
franchise after its latest
incarnation fizzled.
The 2006
movie “Superman Returns”
was directed by Bryan Singer
and starred Brandon Routh
as the Man of Steel.
Cavill is relatively unknown.
He had been considered for
the blockbuster roles of
Batman, James Bond and
even the previous version of
Superman. He co-starred on
Showtime’s “The Tudors.”
Warner Bros. is targeting
December 2012 for release.
