Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that Henry Cavill will play Clark Kent/Superman in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman movie:

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Henry Cavill has won the coveted role of Superman, the iconic superhero.

The film will be directed by Zack Snyder, who stated, “In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the producers of the film. The screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.

Cavill recently wrapped production on “The Cold Light of Day” and stars in the upcoming “Immortals,” opening this fall.

Targeted for release in December 2012, the new Superman movie will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

After watching The Count of Monte Cristo when it came out, he was always my first choice to play Superman....

I really liked Routh in Returns (Hated the movie/script/direction and hated how Singer made him be "Reeve" instead of "Superman"), especially enjoyed his acting performances after Superman (Chuck, Scott Pilgrim, Zack and Miri) and hoped he could have used his new found acting abilities for The Man of Steel. If he had to leave, I'm super glad Cavill was cast

I would have preferred if Nolan was also directing but he has his hands full with Batman, so I suppose producing and writing the story of Superman is the next best thing. Zack Snyder is a good director so I think this movie will be great.

About Henry Cavill: I have sadly not seen anything he has done. I just read that he was once in the running to play James Bond and Batman in their respective recent reboots, before being passed on for Bale and Craig.

A lot of poeple on the IMDB and Deadline forums upset that another American Superhero[Superman was co-created by a Canadian] role was given to a Brit. Batman and Spider-man are British.

Kristen Stewart and Glee star Dianna Agron are reportedly in the running to play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.

According to What's Playing, Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel and Malin Akerman, the star of Superman director Zack Snyder's Watchmen, are also in contention to play Clark Kent's Daily Planet colleague and love interest.

A source claimed that Stewart is unlikely to sign up for the superhero picture because she has "too many other juicy offers", while Agron has been "getting in the door" to audition for several high-profile movies.

Anne Hathaway has allegedly been removed from the Lois Lane shortlist after winning the role of Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.

Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance and Kate Bosworth have previously portrayed Lois Lane on screen.

Henry Cavill will play the title role in Superman, due out in cinemas in December 2012.

I agree, Routh did a great job in Superman Returns, and he did an amazing job in Chuck (though I want nothing better than to see him die [in the role of course] after what he put Chuck and his team through). Never seen or heard of Cavill though, hopefully he can do as good a job as Routh.

It will be a sad day if Kristen Stewart got the part of Lois Lane. Anyway out of those mention I would have to choose Rachel McAdams as the one I would one to get the part; even thought she is not my ideal choice.

I think she'd do a good job, better than Bosworth...I dont think anyone else on that list could handle it.
