Well, if he DOES get the part, does this mean he's typecast?
And after playing JC and Superman, what do you do for an encore???

You probably win a well-deserved Oscar.

It had really funny similarities between Jesus and Superman.
They both:
- Came from above
- Adopted as a baby
- Died for mankind
- Came back with flashy new gimmicks
- Tortured by a rich and powerful bald dude with double initials.
- etc.

From http://www.superherohype.com/superman/index.php?id=1950
On Monday, comic book writer Mark Millar revealed he had learned that Jim Caviezel ("The Count of Monte Cristo," "The Passion of The Christ") had officially been cast as Superman in the new Bryan Singer-directed adaptation at Warner Bros.
Millar's scoop was followed the next day with an apparent debunking by Harry Knowles at Ain't-It-Cool-News, who said that Caviezel had not been cast and wasn't even being considered. He added that Tom Welling was also out of the running.
Mark Millar has answered though, and at his official website today posted...
Just to hammer home how confident I am as regards my source (pretty much as good as it gets), I will personally write a cheque to charity for 1000 dollars from my Wolverine royalties (Wolverine 20 and 21 out October 2004) if Jim Caviezel isn't cast as Superman on the day principal photography starts. Warners may have a couple of PR stunts planned prior to the final announcement, but this is a bet that Jim C is standing there in a Superman costume once the cameras start rolling.
Very interesting! We'll see what Warner Bros. has to say about this, so far we haven't received an answer from the studio regarding the casting.

I never thought of Paul Gross as Superman, but I bet he could pull it off.

I did some research and I found out that Paul Gross is 45 years old. Even I have to admit that's a little too old to start Superman off. I have nothing against Paul, but I simply think Jim would be a better choice.

I have yet to see The Passion of the Christ, but out of all Caviezel's movies I liked him best in Frequency. That was a wonderful movie!
I think he'd make a great Superman. I'd definitely go see the movie then.

PAUL GROSS IS 45 YEARS OLD!?!?!
Wow, looks good for a man in his mid-40s.
Anyhoo, if age is a big concern, Jim Caviezel is going to be in his 40s by the time the third movie start filming as well.
