Which Upcoming Superhero Movie Are You Most Excited About?

Wondercon hits San Francisco this weekend, and I'm excited to find out more about upcoming movies like Green Lantern.

Wondercon hits San Francisco this weekend, and I'm excited to find out more about upcoming movies like Green Lantern. I'm getting psyched for it and other comic book and superhero movies, and though they're a frequent Hollywood staple, the current crop of films on the horizon seems more exciting than usual. Plus, there are a lot to look forward to: Thor and his hammer make their way into theaters in May, Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class both bow in June, followed by Captain America in July. And though they're far on the horizon (2012, that is), I'm so eager for any details about Zack Snyder's Superman and The Amazing Spider-Man.

I'm pretty pumped on all of these movies for different reasons — I can't wait to see Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield as their respective characters, or how X-Men's prequel turns out, for instance. Which one are you looking forward to most?

Amy Adams to Play Lois Lane — Spot on or So Wrong?

Well folks, our brand new Superman finally has a leading lady!

Well folks, our brand new Superman finally has a leading lady! Amy Adams has scored the highly coveted role of Lois Lane, playing opposite Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.

Adams wasn't the first actress that came to mind back when we brainstormed ideas for the roles (not to mention she's almost 10 years older than Cavill), but there's no doubt that she's got the acting chops to play just about anyone. But I'm curious about how you feel about this bit of casting news, so vote and leave your comments below!

Kevin Costner Will Get Fatherly in Superman

The Superman cast continues to come together.

The Superman cast continues to come together. After hot Brit import Henry Cavill snagged the role of the caped superhero, Diane Lane was cast as his mother figure, Martha Kent. Now he has his father: Kevin Costner has been cast as Jonathan Kent, Martha's husband and the man who discovers infant Kal-El and raises him as his own.

Costner had been rumored to be attached, but today Warner Bros. and Snyder confirmed the deal, with Snyder saying that "Kevin will be able to communicate the quiet strength of this rural American man who raised the greatest superhero of all time." I'm happy about Costner's involvement, but I'm still champing at the bit for one bit of casting news. Who will play Lois Lane?

Diane Lane to Play Superman's Mom

We're on the edge of our seats waiting to find out who will play Superman's love interest in Zack Snyder's new film, but for now we've got an actress to take on the other leading lady in his life: Diane Lane is set to play Superman's mother, Martha Kent.

We're on the edge of our seats waiting to find out who will play Superman's love interest in Zack Snyder's new film, but for now we've got an actress to take on the other leading lady in his life: Diane Lane is set to play Superman's mother, Martha Kent. According to Snyder, "This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman." Most of you seem to be on board with Henry Cavill as Superman, so how do you feel about Lane as his mom?

Superman Henry Cavill Covers Entertainment Weekly

We learned a few weeks ago that Henry Cavill is the next in line to don Superman's cape, which landed him a spot on our list of hot Brits to watch.

We learned a few weeks ago that Henry Cavill is the next in line to don Superman's cape, which landed him a spot on our list of hot Brits to watch. The latest cover of Entertainment Weekly shows the superhero of tomorrow somewhere between Clark Kent and the Man of Steel, featuring Cavill in the iconic t-shirt under his leather jacket. He looks ready for action to me, but believe it or not, Cavill had more doubts about landing the role than director Zack Snyder did. Here's more:

  • Cavill on trying on the suit: "All I could think was: Oh, god. They're going to look at me and go 'He's not Superman. Not a chance.' The actor inside me was going: You're not ready! You're not ready!"
  • Snyder on how he knew Cavill was the one: "He walked out, and no one laughed. Other actors put that suit on, and it's a joke, even if they're great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go 'Wow.' Okay: This was Superman."
