A Warner Brothers exec told Deadline today that British actor Henry Cavill (best known for his role as Charles Brandon in Tudors), has been cast in the role. Here’s what the executive had to say about cavill:
He’s got an amazing quality. He doesn’t look too much like Reeve and Routh but he’s big and strong and he has a very modern feel to him […] We’re really going to try and make Superman as contemporary as possible.
How will he do? Only time will tell, but we’ll surely be following his progress.
