The idea that Cavill will be providing mo-cap for a CGI Christopher Reeve is stupid beyond words. Really, Playlist, you\’re not going to dismiss this rumor as patently ridiculous?

What makes more sense – that WB is going to put out a press release touting Henry Cavill as the new Superman and then go through the painstaking, time-consuming, and utterly terrible process of removing him from every single frame of the film in order to replace him with a CGI Christopher Reeve? Or that someone somewhere saw some early animatics where the artists had mapped Christopher Reeve\’s face on the model in lieu of knowing which actor was going to get cast in the role?

I mean, if you think about it for longer than two seconds, the whole idea collapses under the weight of its own absurdity.

Any actress would be wise to avoid any superhero movie, as it\’s a thankless role to land, especially with such a huge community of obnoxious, misogynistic fans of the genre.

Olivia Wilde is my pick, with Kunis as a runner up. But the more I think about it though, casting Lois Lane will depend on how modernized and how far are they going to delve into the Lois Lane character in the reboot. It is a secondary role but if the character is somewhat of a stretch from the tough and sassy, Margot Kidder/Lois Lane we all know, can these actresses from the short list pull it off? Will the character be complex? All I know is in Batman Begins, Katie Holmes was a terrible and forgettable love interest. I hope that I don’t say the same for Lois Lane in the reboot.

Someone mentioned somewhere that if all else fails, they should just “cast a relatively unknown actor for Lois, then surround her and Cavill with a kick ass, strong cast of veterans.” I’m already thinking backup Plan B-list: a dyed brunette Kate Mara of 127 Hours, Odette Yustman (The Unborn) or Emmy Rossum. She needs a big break.

Olivia Wilde would be the ideal Lois Lane.

It\’s probably always been the plan to create a digital version of Supes mainly for VFX purposes. But the idea that he would be digital the entire time he\’s in costume on screen is highly doubtful. It would be too expensive and it would never look as good as the real thing. But a digital Supes for flying shots, sure.
