It’s become really trendy to be annoyed about Bryan Singer abandoning the X-Men universe in favor of Superman, but I just want to remind everyone that I was annoyed about it from day one. The rest of you are just imitators. One superhero franchise per customer please. Halle Berry, that goes for you too. Actually double for you, but I think Catwoman adequately proved my point there.

That having been said, Bryan Singer’s Superman movie continues, despite overwhelming disinterest from me, and a lingering feeling among fans that there’s no way a new Superman movie can ever get made. This one is getting made anyway. Not only is it getting made, but people have been cast.

Today according to The Hollywood Reporter, the last part of the casting puzzle has been found and someone who no one knows has been hired to play Jimmy Olsen. His name is Sam Huntington and he has been in movies.. sort of. The only notable credits on his resume are Detroit Rock City and Not Another Teen Movie in which he played a character named Ox. I’ve done my best to wipe out all memory of Not Another Teen Movie from my brain, but a character named Ox sounds like he might be one of those big, burly, dumb, football jocks. Not very Jimmy Olsenish.

But, as you can see from the picture, he’s not a big, dumb animal suited for pulling heavy loads, he’s actually a gangly fellow with a lot physically in common with Topher Grace. This is good if you’re going to play Jimmy Olsen, but probably pretty lousy if you’re trying to get babes. Unless you’re in a Superman movie, then it doesn’t matter what you look like, because you’ve got fame.
