According to several sources Caviezel has been casted for the role of Superman or at least is a major front-runner to wear the blue tights!

I for one would be happy with JC playing the Man of Steel. Although he is older than all of the previous potential Supermans, he definately has the looks and height for the role. And on top of that we know he can most certainly act. It would especially be great and fitting for the man most famous for portraying Jesus Christ portraying Superman.
Caviezel was actually considered for the role a couple of years ago. Around the same time he was filming The Passion of the Christ.

I think I can get behind that casting decision. Helluva lot better than Nicholas Cage. Y'all should rent "An Evening with Kevin Smith" (aka Silent Bob), wherein he talks about being brought in to write the Superman movie and the shaky start of that project.

According to them, A statement should be made soon anouncing that Jim Caviezel will be the next Superman.
I hope its true.

nononononononoNO!
He is way too old! Superman needs to look like he's in his late 20's , early 30's. Caviezel, on his best day, looks at least 40. He's all scarred up facially (which of course I know isn't his fault), and has no chin! Superman must have a chin!
I say Boo!

Caviezel will turn 36 on September 26th. I actually think he looks younger than his age. Any of these scars you claim he has can be covered with make-up, and he does have a strong chin. It really depends on what angle you see him from. From most angles he looks exactly what I'd expect Superman to look like. There was a picture of him in Newsweek magazine just before The Passion of the Christ came out. When I first saw the picture I remember thinking of Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne.
Besides, on any day Caviezel still looks more like Clark Kent than Brendan Fraser does.

I'd still like to see Paul Gross (Constable Fraiser from Due South) in the role.
Really, Const. Fraiser basically was Superman, just without powers and wearing an RCMP uniform. Plus he has that whole "nice guy country boy" act down.
Plus it'd fit the whole nationalistic "Canadian Connection" motif, since one of Superman's creators was Canadian.

Nope. No chin and a tiny head.
Well I'm not in charge of the casting but if I were I'd go for an unknown. Like they did with Christopher Reeve. He's still the quintessential Supe. I would like to see them cast a newbie in the role.
By the way, I agree with you all about Nic Cage and Brendan Fraser. Bad, bad choices.

Caveziel was great in "Ride With the Devil." Haven't seen the Jesus movie.

Harry over at AICN has said it's not true and though he's pushing for the part, he hasn't been officially offered anything yet.
