December 2, 2008: Superman Cameo in "Green Lantern" Movie
MTV.com has published an interview with "Green Lantern" movie co-screenwriter Marc Guggenheim about the progression of the project. He reveals that Clark Kent will be making a cameo appearance in the film and speculates on who might be cast in the role...
- And while there's already a lot of speculation over who would play Green Lantern - Ryan Gosling? Matthew Settle? David Boreanaz? - what about Clark Kent, who will make a small cameo? Will the part go to someone already established on film or television to be the Man of Steel, like Brandon Routh or Tom Welling?
"There were rumors that Tom Welling would have a cameo in 'Batman Begins' as a young Clark Kent, to meet up with a young Bruce Wayne," Guggenheim noted. "But you have to be careful when you do things like that, because it sounds great in concept, but when you sit down to watch it, it poses the danger of pulling you out of the film."
But as a self-proclaimed "sucker for a good Easter egg," Guggenheim said, "The fanboy in me would love that. Robert Downey, Jr. in 'The Hulk' was awesome. I love that stuff in general, and I think the fans would enjoy it. Brandon Routh or even Tom Welling [in 'Green Lantern'] would be awesome. And anything is possible. The beauty part of being the writer, though, is that I don't actually have to make that judgment call."
