Well, you gotta have Perry White, he’s the editor-in-chief. You can’t have the Planet without White. Just like you can’t have the Bugle without JJJ.
I just don’t see any reason why Fishburne can’t be a damn good Perry White. It’s not like he’s a real person.
Honestly, my biggest problem isn’t the casting. Amy Adams will be a great Lois. Costner as Pa Kent? Genius.
My big problem is that I want to see Superman as being a little older. I’m tired of seeing the origin story and then he goes and fights Luthor and OH NO KRYPTONITE. We’ve seen it. We know the story: Illegal alien anchor baby crash-lands in Kansas, has to find his place in the world, blahblahblah.
I want John Hamm as Superman and I want my damn “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow” adaptation.
That being said, nobody will ever be as good at being Jameson than J.K. Simmons was in the Raimi Spider-Man films. Might be why they don’t have him in the new film.
“I want John Hamm as Superman and I want my damn “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow” adaptation.”
After the X-Men thoroughly hinted at and then destroyed the “Dark Phoenix” storyline, I swore off Comic Book Movies. I went back for Ledger as the Joker in Batman, and now I’m back in self imposed exile.
If someone with talent ever takes a crack at “Days of Future Past” I might give it another go, but I cannot imagine that Hollywood would spend the bucks to do it justice.
I grew up with these characters...Perry White is a long-established fictional character who just happens to be caucasian. I understand why the change is being made, but I am not going to help finance it.
