Latino Review has the full press release from Warner Bros. on the casting of young TV star Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel. “[Director Bryan] Singer commented on his choice of a star, saying ‘Contrary to speculation, it was always my absolute intention to hire an unknown for this role. Brandon is an extremely fine actor who possesses the physical qualifications of Clark Kent/Superman. But he also embodies the legacy and history of this character in a way that makes me certain he’s the right choice.'” The new prequel, tentatively titled Superman Returns, is targeted for a summer 2006 release.
