The same day the world is up in arms over Miles Morales taking over the mantle of Spider-Man in the Ultimate comics universe, Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive on Laurence Fishburne’s casting in Zack Snyder’s Superman – Man of Steel film as Daily Planet editor Perry White.
I don’t specifically mind this bit of casting, though I’ve been quite taken with the previous film directions they’ve taken the character with Frank Langella and Jackie Cooper.
I’m hoping that with this bit of casting we’ll get to spend at least some time in the newsroom.
Laurence Fishburne is (to me) best known from Apocalypse Now and Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
What do you guys think of this?
