Brandon Routh Back As Superman After All?By Josh Tyler: 2008-01-07 02:34:21
On Friday of last week, the rumor mill spit out some bad news for Superman Returns fans: Bryan Singer was ditching the sequel, and Brandon Routh might be going along with him. Now though, some sources are claiming things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Ok, as far as we know Singer really is out, but AICN has posted an update claiming Brandon Routh will still be Superman. Well sort of. They managed to get a Warner Brothers source to tell them that Routh was still the WB’s pick to play Superman in any sequel to Superman Returns. AICN instantly labeled the Routh departure as debunked… but I’m not so sure. Their source only said that Warner Brothers wants him, they said nothing about whether Brandon Routh wants them. Sure he’s probably under contract, but that’s never proved an impediment before when an actor wants to ditch. The original Routh story never said why he wouldn’t be involved, it could well be that Routh simply wants nothing to do with the film if Singer isn’t directing it. Can’t say I blame him, though perhaps he’d be wiser to take a cue from Chris Reeves and stick with the blue tights no matter who’s directing. Type casting isn’t always a bad thing buddy, and it’s not like anybody’s lining up to see Brandon Routh in something else. I’m not entirely ready to call the Brandon Routh is not Superman rumor debunked yet, but at least AICN has given us reason to hope.
