And not to mention that in that rumor they say he is up for a role in the upcoming sequel, not the superman role. Routh is still playing. So, criticizing him just because he is up for a secondary role which we have no idea what it might be, makes no sense.

Not having seen Kingdom of Heaven I only have the Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean films to go on, but given that I think Bloom is a fine actor, I have no problem with him being in the sequel, either.

Bloom was the worse actor in LOTR. While in fairness at lot of his lines fare much better on a page than on the lips of any living being ("the stars are veiled... something stirs in the east..."), I felt the actor's "I am saying something very profound" delivery didn't help either.

That's the thing. Bloom is interchangeable in any film role. He's the same in Lord of the Rings as he is in Pirates of the Caribbean as he is in Kingdom of Heaven. Same pitch... same delivery... same tone... every line...every movie.

That said... playing a villain in the new Superman movie could give him coverage as he's never played a villain before. Let's just hope he tries something different.

could it be that they want bloom for the new tom cruise movie and not superman?

What if Bloom winds up playing Brainiac?

Well, he's no worse than Spike playing Braniac.

Someone created this on another forum. Its one of the best manips I have seen. Just reaffirms to me that Welling would have made a better Supes.
