Man of Steel is the title of the Superman reboot, and the Movie Blog posted an update about it today.
Kevin Spacey wants to be in the movie, but Lex Luthor won't be the main villain. I'm happy to hear the WB is looking for a different villain to face Superman. I like Lex, but he's overdone.
Lex was in Superman I and II, and I liked him in both films. He was less of a threat in II because Zod, Ursa, and Non came to Earth, but Lex was still involved. I think that's the kind of role Kevin Spacey should have in Man of Steel--be there and have a connection to the main threat, but not be the major villain.
Brainiac is my choice for the next villain Superman has to face. I want someone who is actually a threat to Superman, someone Superman actually has to fight.
Not something like taking a few punches and throwing a Kryptonite land mass into space.
I liked Superman Returns in general, though, and I hope Brandon Routh can don the red cape in Man of Steel.

That's really stupid, they felt pressure from The Dark Knight, so now they want to call it "Man of Steel."---I will say that from now on, much like the Godfather contributed to numeric sequels, The Dark Knight contributed to super hero movies with alternate superhero titles.
