Rumors continue to swirl about the casting for the upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel...
First up Latino Review says that according to a new e-book, the suits at Warner Bros want to lure Christian Bale to reprise the role of Bruce Wayne/Bats
In fact, it's said that their so desperate for him to appear that he might be offered a "potential $50 million payday" for the job (as part of a back end deal that is dependent on how the film does).
Bale has said more than once that the recent Batman trilogy would be his first and last time as the Caped Crusader
Meantime the latest name added to the list of potentials for the part is 36-year-old former Pirates of the Caribbean film series star Orlando Bloom according to The Daily Express.
Their source claims: "Orlando looks odds-on to get the part even before our first casting call. He would be perfect to play off Henry [Cavill] and I think US audiences would be happy with two Brits as the joint male leads."
MOS 2 will see the return of Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent. There is also chatter about who is gonna play Lex Luthor in the film
"Man Of Steel" director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer will also be back--as will Christopher Nolan to executive produce the film,
Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.
Casting is likely to solidify in the coming weeks as Warner Bros wants to shoot the movie in early 2014 for a 2015 release.
