'Man Of Steel' Casting Spoiler Revealed?

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

If you’re turned on by the secrecy surrounding director Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man Of Steel, then perhaps you shouldn’t read any further.  On the other hand, if you’re hungry for details and wish to see the wall of silence come crashing down, read on because a new juicy and tantalizing casting rumor has surfaced.

Creating what may be one of the first nicks in that wall, Ain’t It Cool has reported that famed Superman villain Lex Luthor will appear in Man of Steel, probably in a similar way to how Norman Osborn appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man: with teasing “logos” and imagery. Note that Chris Cooper was eventually cast as Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The AIC article went on to report Canadian actor Mackenzie Gray will be playing Luthor, an interesting choice since Gray played a Lex Luthor clone during an episode of Smallville.

Since we can’t expect Snyder or Nolan to dish on this new revelation anytime soon, let’s remember it’s still an unconfirmed rumor. However, though there’s no mention of Gray’s connection to Man of Steel on his or the film’s IMDb page, AIC located a video interview where the actor confirms involvement in the film. In addition, as implied by AIC, Gray’s photo on his IDMb page does nothing but help fuel the speculation.

Check out the video below. What do you think …smoking gun?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
