Gerard Butler Also In The Mix For New Batman In BATMAN VS SUPERMAN?

We recently heard names like Josh Brolin being the front-runner to play the new Batman in Zack Snyder's Batman Vs. Superman. However, LatinoReview reveals that Snyder alumni Gerard "300" Butler is also in the mix. Bulter has the size and action background needed for the part. It doesn't hurt he already has a previously working relationship with Zack and the studio. He's also in a position to commit to more films (such as Justice League installments) since he doesn't have other franchises on the horizon. Gosling might commit to three Star Wars films which is why I don't really think he's in any serious contention for the part.

Antoine Fuqua Offered 'OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN' Starring Gerard Butler

HeatVision says that Nu Image/Millennium Films is looking to offer the Olympus Has Fallen director's chair to Antoine Fuqua. Olympus is being compared to Die Hard set in the White House and has Gerard Butler attached to star. The action veteran director is best known for films like Training Day, Brooklyn's Finest, Shooter, The Replacement Killers, King Arthur and Tears of The Sun.

Another White House set action film White House down is making the rounds at Sony so it looks like Nu Image/Millennium is eager to get their project into production first. Fuqua has aligned himself with many projects in last year or so, it could end up he doesn't take the offer.
