MOS 2: Cavill Praises Bat-fleck & Is A Sexy Superhero

While production is still a few months away from starting up on Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel--Henry Cavill who will return as Superman/Clark Kent, spoke with Total Film. He was asked what he thought about the casting of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout:



Meantime Cavill sits atop Glamour magazine poll of the Sexiest Man alive--beating out four time champ Robert Pattinson. Pattinson came in second with Liam Hemsworth taking third.


MOS 2 will see the return of Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.

Those reports that suggested that the chatter about former "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming movie were true have now been denied by the actor.

Singer Justin Bieber uploaded a photo on his Instagram account showing him holding up what appeared to be a personalized script for the film with the hashtag "#Robin" but it turned out to be a prop for a Funny or Die skit.

There's been noise that the production is seeking is a love interest for the Dark Knight in the film. The Type? A woman in their late 20s of any ethnicity. They do, however, specify that she be tall and "possess physicality".

The notice DID NOT give a name for the character, which led to speculation that it could anyone from Vicki Vale to Wonder Woman. A leaked casting call has fanboys thinking that Amazon warrior is in "Batman vs. Superman"

The chatter about former Bond girl and "Oblivion" star Olga Kurylenko showing up  Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel has seemingly been confirmed by Variety. The trade adds that Gal Gadot ("Fast and Furious") and Elodie Yung ("G.I. Joe: Retaliation") are also in the mix testing for the female lead. Thor: The Dark World" actress is Jaimie Alexander is also linked.

A love interest for Bats suggests that he will have a larger part in the film than expected. It also could mean that other characters like Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth might show up as well.

In fact, rumors ran recently that Girls co-star Adam Driver is the frontrunner to play the character of Dick Grayson, the post-Robin Nightwing incarnation in the film. The original story mentioned that two other actors are in the mix for the role. Less than 24 hours later "Gossip Girl" and "Easy A" star Penn Badgley and "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin" star Ezra Miller were said to be in mix for the part. Driver denies any such talk

The speedster The Flash is said to be in the script.

Meantime: The star of The CW's popular Arrow TV series Stephen Amell posted a "Justice League" comic image on his official Facebook page.  We already know that Flash (Grant Gustin) will show up there for a few eps before getting his own show in 2014 Could more of DC Entertainment's "Justice League" be coming to "Arrow"? For now the DC Cinematic Universe will NOT co-exist with the TV heroics...There are rumors about where the films might go as well as the  TV side of things...

These hero introductions would make sense if Warners is ever gonna make a "Justice League" movie.

"Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer will be back--as will Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven 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.

The film will shoot in Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime in the first quarter of 2014. Warner Bros will also shoot the movie in Toronto to meet its release on July 17 2015. Some filming for the film's opening sequence is already in the can.
