Warner Bros already have their scouts out looking for the next Man of Steel. I’ve heard they’re looking at several TV stars (“True Blood” star Ryan Kwanten and “Friday Night Lights” alum Scott Porter are two names I’ve heard banded about) and Den of Geek’s casting tidbit would confirm that’s indeed the case – they say “Chuck” star Zachary Levi has tested for the gig. So while it doesn’t sound like the Nolan’s are chasing a complete unknown (a’la Brandon Routh) for the role, they’re still not exactly shooting for the big guns. In the case of Superman, I think that’s the best way to go. [SOURCE]
