The Real Man Of Steel
Movies and comics sites alike went to town on the news that the Synder/Nolan Superman movie would not be casting the alleged Joe Manganiello, but instead, the softer featured, decidedly less wolfish, Henry Cavill, whom you may remember as Albert in The Count of Monte Cristo, the boy with all the daddy drama.
The actor was under consideration for Superman Returns and was proclaimed by Stephanie Meyer herself to be the ideal Edward Cullen (One can only imagine the crossover slash fiction that would've now ensued...), and will be starring in 300-like shirtless glory in this November's Immortals.
With Nolan on board, I'll assume to keep Snyder's penchant for the fantastic in check, it's curious to hear that Zach aims to "try and make Superman as contemporary as possible." With a burly, modern Clark Kent, it's only a matter of time before Lois Lane speculation begins to pop up.

Cavill is a great choice… his work is The Tudors was substantial, even though it wasn’t scene-stealing. You can see potential, and he has the masculinity and ‘unknown’ quality that you need for Superman.
