RUMOUR: Has Scott Porter been cast as Clark Kent in The Man of Steel

Is Scott Porter Superman?

I was texted yesterday night around 11:30pm by my co-worker at Warner Bros. He said that Scott Porter has signed on to play Clark Kent in the Superman reboot The Man of Steel.



I am not too sure about this. He got the information from his friend, but he says he is adamant that it is true and that he only found out earlier yesterday (August 6 2010). Here is a copy of the text he sent me:

"J freak out just heard Scott Porter is playin Clark Kent in the reboot.".

I will let you make your own minds up. I know why he said "Clark Kent" and NOT "Superman" which is that Clark Kent is the dominant personality in the new movie. Hopefully this scoop doesn't get deleted like the Batman 3 scoop. This one is fresh from the mouth!!

If this is true then it makes sense what
Nolan said about it being someone from a
TV show and the last guy people would think
of!

He was in FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and is on
SYFY's Caprica. And since he was linked to
the failed JLA movie he's pretty well not
someone anyone would expect of them looking
at for Superman!

I like it if it's true at all! He's a good
actor and he fits the role of Clark Kent!

Jesus Christ almighty just give the f**king role to Routh and let him run with it. With a well written story, and a promise of action Routh is born to play the role.

People, enough with Routh already, the guy is not Superman, he's just a Christopher Reeve lookalike, he's not a good actor, one of the reasons why Superman Returns failed is because he wasn't playing Superman he was trying to play Reeve, he had his chance now give Tom Welling a chance and as much as I want that I don't actually think they will so let's just hope they get someone who can act and look like Superman.

WHY is this NEWS? If I said my friend's second cousin's uncle (twice removed) heard from a guy who delivers pizza to a woman who's dating a dude who works in the mailroom of the WB that Jim Carrey will play Clark Kent, does that necessarily make it so? It's a RUMOR, people! Nestor from 'Caprica' is going to play the Man of Steel? ...seriously? SERIOUSLY?? I really don't care if he's got a nice WHATEVER, he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag! It takes more than LOOKS to make a good actor (just ask Megan Fox)! I cry "B.S." on this one...
loganoneil
loganoneil - 8/6/2010, 8:01 AM
...and for the record, BOTH Brandon Routh AND Henry Cavill are NOT Superman material (not by ANY stretch of the imagination)!! I'm tired of everyone glomming onto all these p*ssy emo Calvin Klein underwear model wannabes! Give me an ACTOR (who looks the part) who can ACT like the comic book character I grew up on! The 'Man of Steel' should act and look like a MAN!

Porter doesn't fit Superman. He'd be a much MUCH better Flash.

yea keep Joe Manganiello far from Supes. Shit we all would want the part to be Supes but it's not going to happen.

Another name of a small, wimpy actor to play the Man of Steel. Superman should have the physical stature of....well... the image of Manganiello a couple up.

Routh should be Superman. Porter is perfect for Flash(Wally)

I give him a chance! Althought i think he would be better as The Flash / Wally West! Henry Cavill or Jon Hamm would be great as Superman

Agree with 'loganoneil'. First and foremost, we need a good actor(sorry, Manganiello & Padalecki) for Supes. Because with Nolan involved, we can be pretty sure there's gonna be heavy 'acting' work needed. (No. Brandon Routh is not a good actor) Doesn't need to be already established A-lister.

Second most important is the physique(especially height). If I'm not mistaken, most bios of Supes list him as 6'3". So with that in mind, someone who's at least 6'1" and at the most 6'5"(Anything more than that will make Clark Kent too obvious) Remember that Batman is supposed to be 6'2" but Bale(6') made it work. And for the love of god, this time, please look for someone who looks like Superman, not someone who looks like Christopher Reeve.

Thirdly, the age factor. If this is gonna be a complete reboot/restart of the franchise, then retelling the origin is a must, even if it's already done a thousand times before. Possibly gonna be a trilogy, so Supes don't look like a 50 year old by the time the third one comes out. So someone who looks anywhere between 27 and 32 would do. That eliminates Jon Hamm(seriously, the guy looks 43 already).

Finally, get the damn suit colours right this time. And please don't forget the yellow "S" on the back of his cape. And make the "S" on his chest bigger. Bring in a villain he can actually have a fist-fight with. No more Lois-stalking, and no more kids.
