Orlando Bloom: Next Superman Star
Can you imagine Orlando Bloom slipping into a pair tights for the next Superman film?
No? Well, imagine harder!
Orlando, 30, was spotted discussing roles in the upcoming Superman at the Tower Bar restaurant in Hollywood with Superman Returns producers Mindy and Jon Peters and the movie’s director, Bryan Singer.
Orlando playing the new love interest for Lois Lane would be perfect! (Ex-girlfriend Kate Bosworth portrayed Lois Lane in Superman Returns.)

I could definitely see it now — Orlando Bloom as Brainiac! Perfect choice for a villian!
Superman Returns was an incredible film, but I doubt OB was in talks for the sequwl.
The last comment about the film being delayed was reported as a rumor, but was quickly determined as absolutely false by WB. I just tend to think the Superman franchise detractors, while certainly loud and persistent (and repetetive), are actually very small in number. In real life, for every one person I know of that didn’t care for the movie, I know at least five others that absolutely LOVED it.
If he is going to be in the next superman movie I hardly doubt that he will play superman himself. I mean, isn’t superman supposed to be the American Hero, and well, Orlando’s British…so umm, mabey he’s this villan who kidnaps Lois Lane and he’s only saying yes so he can get his revenge on Kate for being a cow to him (honestly, is that woman braindead?? I would have clung to him like a barnacle clings to a rock, like clingfilm clings to my sandwiches and so-on)
The PR department at Warner Bros are in dreamland. If you are going to start a casting rumour, don’t make one that’s so unbelieveable. No freaking way in hell is Orlando going to play a C-listed “love interest” that’s second-billing behind his ex-girlfriend. Try again, WB!
maybe he’ll be jimmy olsens’ love interest???
J/K
I think his pretty boy looks would be good for someone else in the DC univers… and while I agree that he most likely would not get away with being a bad guy I would love to see him try and be dark and manacing.
After all Heath Ledger is taking the pretty boy routine and going to the dark side in the upcomming batman flick.
Thinking of other characters that he could play… in the DCU I think OB would also make a good Hal Jordan / Green Lantern… in the specific Superman mythos there is that star labs security guy the golden shield…
I think that the love tri-angle thingy has been done to much for them to try an re-tread the same old paths in the sequal… I mean she (LOIS) has superman’s kid and then with his return I think that there will definately be some pull to bring them together aS A family unit. I think that Superman / Clark being the kind of “mild mannered” moralistic person that the Kents raised him to be would really push for some sort of family stability.
and then there’s the new Superboy to consider… lots of things that can be done there in regards to Bloom coming into the project… I mean someone needs to help him learn to control his powers and maybe they go to star labs and meet an unscupulois scientist there…
LOTS of IFS.
Does no one not understand what made Superman super was the love story between Lois and Superman. When they turned it into a love triangle they ruined the film and made it suck. Brian Singer should have stayed on the X-men.
They should of let Tom Welling do Superman ,,,Orlando Bloom if he Plays Superman no one will watch it
I’m sure that Orlando is being considered for one of the rumored villains for the Superman sequel. I agree that Superman Returns did not meet my expectations, but I have great faith in Bryan Singer as the director. He already stated that he will go “Wrath of Khan” on the sequel and it will be filled with alot of action and fighting sequences.
I believe that Orlando would most likely be playing Brainiac or Metallo, as they have been the villainous names thrown around for the sequel. Brainiac doesn’t have to have a strong physique to battle Superman. So, I say bring him on. He will definitely pull in the women for the next sequel and I feel the action will bring the guys in. So, have some faith in the Superman franchise.
While I am a big fan of Orlando Bloom, I don’t think he should do the Superman gig. I have not seen, nor do I have any desire to see the movie. As far as I am concerned there will only ever be one Superman - Christopher Reeves. RIP
he was a prince…he was a pirate…he was a milkboy…he was an elf…why can’t he be superman?!he would be great but…i don’t think this is real…come on…brandon will be superman…is kind of clear…isn’t it?
chris reeves will always be the one that created superman…that’s the truth…he will stay in our minds always because he was a grat actor and pearson///
I dont think orlando would even do a superman movie, even though i saw superman returns (in honor of chris reeve & just for his sake and his sake alone.) and it was a good movie yet i dont think orlando would even do that movie if his ex gf kate was in it because i hear that they are trying to be kept apart after what happened between them with the rough breakup they had. Besides I mainly watched it in honor of the Superman himself Chris Reeve no other reason, but I would love to see Orlando in more POTC films or something with action or romance like Haven or Elizabethtown or LOTR trilogy something like that but him as a villian i cant see him doing that at all.
lois lane should have been played by Rachel Mcadams. End of story. She would have given the role more depth and passion. Superman may need to look a bit more rugged…Does anyone remember that guy, Evan, from that terrible reality show, Average joe, where he tells the girls that he is a millionaire but then at the end reveals that he’s just a regular guy, working 9-5. He would make a good superman. Sounds crazy, but do the research.
micheal phelps should be the next superman
I think that they made a wrong choice with Brandon Routh, he may be a good actor but he doesn´t match with the caracter, i mean he doesn´t have that magic, the superman´s magic; They should look for an actor with more resemble in the fisical side of the other actors that had play superman, because Brandon isn´t similar to them. That´s other raison of why the movie wasn´t a big sucess. About Orly… :P I absolutly prefer to see him in another role, superman is not made for him.
The Superman Returns movie was a huge joke not worth the time and money, i was mad when it came out because i spent money thinking it was gonna be a action pack blockbuster, instead they had a guy who in my opinion wasn’t a good superman they could have done better, a woman who just about killed Lois Lane, they should recast the whole movie, the only one that actually stayed in character was Spacey when he played Lex Luthor, if they make a sequel it better be worth it, they should have given it to Dean Cain or something.
LET THE NEXT SUPERMAN MOVIE BE A BETTER ONE.
