British tabloid News of the World reports that Zack Snyder (“Watchmen”) is considering returning “Superman Returns” star Brandon Routh to the role of Clark Kent in Snyder’s upcoming new Man of Steel movie, the one being produced by “Dark Knight” writer-director Christopher Nolan.
But can News Of The World, owned by News Corp., be trusted?
The tabloid has been described as sister publication to News Corp.’s The Sun, which reported on Aug. 26, 2009 that Megan Fox had signed to play Catwoman in Nolan’s next Batman movie.
Megan Fox’s publicist quickly issued a statement indicating she had not signed to play Catwoman in Nolan’s next Batman movie:
Megan is a huge fan of the Batman movies and of director Christopher Nolan but these discussions have not taken place.
Thank you for checking.
“Dark Knight” producers subsequently confirmed that Nolan has not contacted Fox about the role.
So if any journalists out there are still interviewing Snyder about “Legend of the Guardians,” kindly ask if he really indicated to News of the World that he’s considering returning Routh to the blue tights.
