February 27, 2011: Rumor Control - Daniel Day-Lewis

Daniel Day-Lewis MovieHole.net made an off-the-cuff remark in their article on their reporting on the "Viggo Mortensen for Zod" rumor that Daniel Day-Lewis was also a person of interest for "an unspecified role" in the up-coming Superman movie, which has started speculation on whether Day-Lewis is also in the running for the role of the main villain in the movie... be it Zod or someone else.

Whether it's true or not, this wouldn't be the first time Day-Lewis' name has been tossed up in connection with a Superman film. In my 1999 interview with writer Mark Millar he made mention that he would have liked to see Day-Lewis as Superman. Five years later Millar, in a comment posted on his own personal website, had Day-Lewis as his top choice to play Jor-El. "All Star Superman" writer Grant Morrison told the Superman Homepage back in 1999 that he'd have liked to see Day-Lewis play Batman ("as the classic Neal Adam's Batman") opposite Ben Affleck as Superman in a film.

We'll keep you informed on all news and rumors surrounding the up-coming new Superman film as they come to hand.
