There is some big casting news regarding two of DC Entertainment’s two most iconic characters.
First Variety is reporting that Joesph Gordon Levitt will be in Dark Knight Rises!!! He will play Alberto Falcone (the Holiday Killer), the son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone, the character Tom Wilkinson played in “Batman Begins.”
I am thrilled with this news. Joesph Gordon Levitt is one of my favorite actors and I think he will fit into Nolan’s Batman universe nicely.
On a side note Joesph is using his company hitRECord to help the relief efforts in Japan, head over to his site to donate $5 and receive two hitRECord buttons.
Now on to the Superman movie news…
The rumors are true! Kevin Costner will play Johnathan Kent in Zack Snyder’s (Working Title) Man of Steel. Costner joins the cast that includes Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman.
Zack Snyder released the following statement in the studio’s announcement “Jonathan Kent is the only father figure Clark has ever had, the man who was there to help Clark understand what he was meant to do in the world as Superman. Kevin will be able to communicate the quiet strength of this rural American man who raised the greatest superhero of all time.”
