According to a scooper for IESB – as the site reminds readers, take it with a grain of salt until they gather up more intel – Laurence Fishburne may be the first choice to play The Martin Manhunter in the forthcoming (and much talked about) “Justice League of America” movie.
If true – and it’s possible, considering the Fish worked with the studio on the uber successful “Matrix” movies” – Fishburne would make a great Manhunter. But man, isn’t he getting sick of the comic book stuff yet? This year alone he’s already lent his lungs to both “Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer” and “TMNT”. Still, I suppose he hasn’t got to wear a rubber suit yet. And until you have, you’re not quite a bona-fide superfreak.
Though nothing’s been confirmed yet, the word is Tom Welling is the favourite to play Superman in the movie, whist Ryan Reynolds will be suiting as The Flash. You can now add Fishburne to the rumour pile.
