MICHAEL FASSBENDER, MATTHEW GOODE, RYAN GOSLING CANDIDATES FOR NEW BATMAN IN 'MAN OF STEEL' SEQUEL! MILES TELLER, MICHAEL B JORDAN, ALLISON WILLIAMS FOR 'FANTASTIC FOUR' REBOOT? CHRIS EVANS DIRECTS '1:30 TRAIN'

WHO'S THE NEW BATMAN?

MICHAEL FASSBENDER, RYAN GOSLING, JOSH BROLIN?

One of the biggest pieces of movie news this summer was that the sequel to mega successful MAN OF STEEL will actually see Superman and Batman together. You also know that Henry Cavill will have some new actor playing Batman next to him. Although Armie Hammer was the previous candidate to play Batman, now there are rumours about some other stars in the role. Since the producers are searching for late 30s or 40s actor, the rumoured candidates are Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender, Matthew Goode and Joe Manganiello. Armie Hammer has declared recently that he is not interested in superhero roles. The sequel will feature a showdown between the two of DC's most popular comic characters. There were also previous rumours that DC is saving Karl Urban to lead the potential future BATMAN TV series.

FANTASTIC FOUR REBOOT

MILES TELLER & MICHAEL B. JORDAN WANTED IN THE CAST?
And that is not the only superhero project to have new casting rumours circling around it. The reboot of FANTASTIC FOUR, which should start shooting as soon as next month in Louisiana, is apparently  planning to cast Miles Teller in the lead role of Reed Richards or Mr. Fantastic who has the power of bending and flexing his body. Teller is currently shooting DIVERGENT. Since the producers have a younger  cast in mind, young Michael B. Jordan from FRUITVALE STATION is apparently sought for the role of fiery Johnny Storm, and Allison Williams from GIRLS show is also in the run for one of the roles.
