Superman Movie News

An interesting supposed plot point is rumored for the upcoming SUPERMAN movie with McG directing – one that was disparaged by DC Comics fans a few years ago. Updated!

PeopleNews had the word:

Anyone who has ever dreamed of seeing Brendan Fraser, in tights will be ecstatic to learn that the Mummy actor looks set to play Superman in the next movie about the superhero.

The film, which is as yet untitled, will feature the death of superman, who will then come back to life to defeat his arch-rival Lex Luthor. Several famous Hollywood actresses, including Catherine Zeta Jones, Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, have expressed interest in playing the journalist/love interest part of Lois Lane. Christopher Reeve played the Man of Steel in the three Superman films made in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Update:

Mirko from Superhero Hype had this to say:

The death of Superman story was scrapped a long time ago, they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Still, potential casting is interesting for Lois.
