March 14, 2003: Walker Also Turns Down Superman

A third actor, Paul Walker, has turned down the opportunity to play the Man of Steel in the up-coming movie.

The Hollywood Reporter published an article today stating that the "The Fast and the Furious" star, having tested for the role last week, has decided to drop out of the race for the part. Here's an excerpt from the article...

The casting for Warner Bros. Pictures' "Superman" has taken a new turn. Paul Walker, who tested for the role last week along with Brendan Fraser and Matthew Bomer, has dropped out of the race. While deals for all three actors were in place before they tested, sources say Walker had a legal out in his contract and chose to exercise it, informing the studio of his decision Thursday. No reason was given for his decision, and it remains to be seen if the choice to play the Man of Steel is just between Fraser and Bomer or if any new names will be thrown into the mix.
