Is Hayden Christensen the new Superman?

Alright people, file this one under crazy rumor, but it looks like Hayden Christensen might be dawning the red and blue for the upcoming Justice League movie, which is now going by the name Justice League: Mortal. Cinema Blend got their hands on the scoop, which came from a reader who recently spotted the cast and crew in British Columbia.

One such report rolled into my inbox tonight from a CB reader named Candace, who says she managed to corner Adam Brody in a BC bar and get him talking about JLA. What he told her is kind of a shocker. Here’s her story: “I asked Brody to sign a napkin, and asked what he/they were doing here. They’re in BC to check out locations for their new superhero movie Justice League is Mortal. Brody pointed at Miller and said “George is our director”. He said he’s playing The Flash, Common is playing Green Arrow (or Lantern, one or the other), Armie Hammer (sounded like Arm and Hammer) is Batman, someone from “mad max” is Martian Man-hunter (didn’t catch the name) and Hayden Christensen is Superman. Brody also nodded to the woman to his right and said “she (he said her name but i didnt catch it) is in it too”. Oh, and they had lots of drinks.”

If this is true then you can go ahead and add this, to the already long list, of bad decisions for this flick. Hayden Christensen as Superman? I just don’t see it. This scoop also seems to confirm that the production has left Australia and taken up shop in the Great White North.
