Jonathan Nolan To Direct Superman Reboot? Chuck Actor To Star As The Lead?

News

A few days ago I reported that Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter) was going to be directing the upcoming Superman reboot, to be produced by Christopher Nolan. Today I’m hearing something quite different.

Today I’m hearing that Jonathan Nolan, brother to Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, and co-producer on Superman, is going to be directing it. And while that’s pretty cool, the real reason I had to get my hands on this news story myself is due to who is rumored to be in talks to play Superman.

Zachary Levi from my favorite NBC show….CHUCK!

And you know what? Just like I’m all about Isaiah Mustafa as Luke Cage, I’m all about Zach Levi playing Superman!
