A couple of months ago, a rumor was started online that the Mad Men actor was Warner Bros. top choice to portray the Man of Steel in the upcoming reboot which is believed to be set for release in 2012. After a few sites made the dubious decision to report this as if it was new news this week, it seems those who are interviewing Hamm about his new movie, The Town, picked up on it and decided to find out whether or not it's true.
Well, as he did in another recent interview the actor once again insists that he hasn't been approached by movie bosses and seems less keen on them getting in touch because at 39, he's says that he's just too old to play the part!
"I certainly haven't been informed of that. They might want to run that by me. I don't know, I think unless Superman's power was the power of being really old...I maybe aged out of that competition."
What do you guys think? Is Hamm too old to play Clark Kent/Superman or would a slightly more mature actor like him actually be a better choice than someone younger? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
