Chris as Superman? No, but he has been cast in the the new Superman movie "Man Of Steel." www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/25/christopher-meloni-in-superman-man-of-steel_n_884471.htmlConsidered to be a sort of police superhero by devoted fans of his long run on "Law & Order: SVU," Christopher Meloni is about to join up with the ultimate crime fighter. Meloni, the former "SVU" star who announced that he was leaving this spring after 12 seasons when contract negotiations went south, is on the verge of signing on to Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, "Man of Steel," Deadline reports. As of now, the role is undisclosed, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Meloni will shoot scenes with Henry Cavill, Superman himself. Along with Julia Ormond, who signed on earlier this week to play Superman's Kryptonian birth mother Lara Lor-Van, Meloni joins an all-star cast that, aside from Cavill, includes Russell Crowe as Kryptonian dad Jor-El, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Pa and Ma Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Michael Shannon as baddie General Zod.

Wow he is part of an awesome cast. I hope this version of the movie lives up to the hype. I enjoyed the other superman movies and of course I remember the TV series with George Reeves.

There is some speculation that he might be playing Lois's father (Chris's character is supposed to be a General - but he's not General Zod, so...)
