It looks as though another actor is about to fill the shoes of the Man of Steel. According to Entertainment Weekly, Henry Cavill, best known for playing Charles Brandon on the hit Showtime series "The Tudors," has been cast as the lead in the next installment of the "Superman" franchise. The action-packed film, which is slated to be released in theaters in December of next year, will be directed by Zack Snyder. "In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen," Snyder said. "I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield." Cavill joins a group of esteemed actors to bring Clark Kent and his alter ego to life. Christopher Reeve played the superhero in four films and Brandon Routh was cast as the lead in the 2006 "Superman Returns."
