I received this official news from Warner Bros. Pictures and its about their casting call for the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel reboot movie that will be released on December 2012. The big news came out hours ago and they revealed about Henry Cavill as the new actor that will portray Superman/Kal EL/Clark Kent.
The news exploded through the net,forums and blogs and Henry Cavill is the most talked about actor today as many are now reviewing his roles from past movies and many Superman fans are now speculating if this reboot movie will bring spark for the Superman franchise and bring more Superman movies. Warner Bros. is doing their homework well and Its funny that comic writer Mark Waid commented that we should consider Superman Returns the Ang Lee movie of The Hulk. Henry Cavill appeared on the movie - "The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)", "Hell Raiser: Hellworld (2005)", "Tristan + Isolde (2006)", "Stardust (2007)", and will appear in the upcoming movie this 2011 - "Immortals" and "The Cold Light of Day"
