Fan CastingSuperman: Man of Tomorrow (2011)

After years of wandering and hiding his powers, Clark Kent returns to Metropolis seeking purpose. As a new reporter for the Daily Planet, he forms quiet connections with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen while secretly using his gifts to help others. When a LexCorp experiment goes wrong, janitor Rudy Jones becomes Parasite, a creature who absorbs energy and life-force. Lex Luthor manipulates the disaster, blaming Superman for attracting danger to Earth. Framing him as an unstable alien, Lex launches a media blitz that turns much of the public against Superman. Clark defeats Parasite in a brutal downtown battle, but the city is left damaged—and divided. Though some see a savior, others believe Lex’s warnings. In a solemn moment, Superman addresses the world, vowing to protect Earth while questioning if it will ever truly accept him. Mid Credits: Amanda Waller watches Superman’s battle footage and authorizes the creation of Project Cadmus: a government task force to control metahuman threats. Post Credits: Silas Stone studies alien wreckage from the battle site. A cube pulses with light—it’s not Earth tech. Behind him, a S.T.A.R. Labs file reads: “Subject: MOTHER BOX – Unknown Origin.”
