So we hear Viggo Mortenson is being looked at to star as the villain(probably General Zod) in the Superman reboot. But who else might Snyder and WB have their eye on? Well, it could well be the most brilliant of actors, Mr Daniel Day Lewis.
Moviehole mention that they heard Warner Bros. is considering Lewis for
“an unspecified role in this film.” They offer this information almost in passing as they discuss Mortenson's possible involvement so don't give this as much credence as the Mortenson rumor for now.
But still, how cool would this be if it was true? Don't get me wrong. Mortenson is one of my favourite actors but I have always wanted to see what Lewis would do with a CBM role. And the potential to have him play a Superman villain? It may not even be Zod. Check out the pic, could Lewis make a good Lex Luthor? But of course, even if Nolan, Snyder and co ARE looking at Lewis and indeed Mortenson, that doesn't for one moment suggest that THEY will be interested. Mortenson is said to be a contender for a role in
Snow White And The Huntsman so that may be the road he goes down. And although Lewis has signed on for Stephen Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln biopic, that may not film until next year as Spielberg has his hands full with other projects.
Anyway, more info on all of this as we get it.
