Christopher Meloni is in negotiations to join the cast of Zack Snyder’s “Superman” reboot Man of Steel.
The role he’ll be playing in the Christopher Nolan-produced film is unknown at the time, although Deadline describes it as “major”.
Man of Steel stars British actor Henry Cavill as Superman / Clark Kent and co-stars Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Russell Crowe (Jor-El) and Michael Shannon as Zod. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2012.
