Brandon Ruth is dead as Superman. The previously unknown actor who came out of nowhere to play the character in Superman Returns explained in an interview with Spanish-language entertainment site Omelete why he’s unlikely to be back as Superman in the next flick.
“The term of the contract expired,” Routh says via Google’s broken-English translation, before adding the requisite “But if they call me again, [I'd go] back to the character without thinking twice!” sentiment.
So who will be our next Superman?
