Warner Bros. Pictures announced the casting
Sunday. The film is to be directed by "300" director Zack Snyder, who
says in a statement Cavill is "the perfect choice to don the cape and 'S'
shield."
No title has been announced for the film, which is intended to
reboot the franchise. The 2006 movie "Superman Returns" was directed
by Bryan Singer and starred Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel.
Cavill had been
considered for the blockbuster roles of Batman, James Bond and even the
previous version of Superman. He co-starred on Showtime's "The
Tudors." Warner Bros. is targeting December 2012 for release.
