Laurence Fishburne has joined the cast of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel as Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White. Jackie Cooper played White opposite Christopher Reeve’s in Superman (1978) and Frank Langella played the role in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns (2006). This continues the trend of strong casting for the revamp/reboot/re-imagination of Superman.
Man of Steel is being produced by Christopher Nolan. It stars Henry Cavill as Clark/Superman, Amy Adams as Lois, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and Diane Lane as Martha Kent. Filming begins this fall, and is said to be set for release June 14, 2013.
My opinion? No one can beat Lane Smith from Lois & Clark [see]. Laurence Fishburne recently left CSI after j two seasons. Ted Danson will take Fishburne’s place on the show this fall.
