January 22, 2013: A Female Jimmy Olsen in "Man of Steel"?

Rebecca Buller A rumor is currently doing the rounds suggesting that Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen will actually be Jenny Olsen in the upcoming "Man of Steel" movie.

IMDB lists actress Rebecca Buller as playing a character by the name of Jenny Olsen. Now if you look at a photo of Miss Buller, she appears to be the same woman Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) is dragging with him as they escape the debri of a falling building as seen in the "Man of Steel" trailer (1 minute and 53 seconds into the trailer).

Perry White and Jenny Olsen?

Now whether the IMDB listing is correct or not is anyone's guess. They're not exactly a reliable source when it comes to upcoming film cast listings. Rebecca Buller is indeed a member of the "Man of Steel" cast (it's stated as such in a bio of her at the NextTheatre.org website for a theatre production she was involved in in September 2012). But whether her character is indeed "Jenny Olsen" and a gender-altered version of Jimmy Olsen is as yet unconfirmed.

This one smells of someone putting pieces in place to create a rumor to gain extra hits to their website, so take it with a HUGE grain of salt for the time being.
