Jon Hamm in the running for SUPERMAN?
If anything is obvious at this point, it's that Jon Hamm must be seen in tights. Hamm has been considered for Captain America, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman, and Mighty Mouse (okay, maybe not Mighty Mouse...yet!). Now it seems Hamm's name is in the running for yet another superhero, and this time it's a doozy.
Could Jon Hamm be in the running to play Superman in the Chris Nolan penned reboot?
According to sources close to Think McFly Think, Warner Bros. is "seriously considering" Mr. Don Draper himself, Jon Hamm. The main concern is that Hamm would be forty by the time THE MAN OF STEEL begins filming, and some people feel a younger option is a better one. While I can understand peoples' concerns, I can't really imagine a more perfect fit for Superman. It's no exaggeration to call Superman an American icon and after the absolutely terrible SUPERMAN RETURNS, a little Hamm is just what ol' S-chest needs.
Start making your Hamm for Superman shirts now, in a few months they'll become irrelevant when someone less awesome lands the part (I'm looking at you, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson).
Would Jon Hamm make a great Superman or should they look around some more? Leave your thoughts below!
