Actor Brandon Routh chatted with Brazilian website Omelete.com on the set of 'Scott Pilgrim vs The World'. They quizzed the actor about the status of the 'Superman' franchise.

Omelete's article is not in English so we can't be sure what Routh said but a Google translation of the piece seems to indicate that Routh is saying his contract to return to the franchise has expired. However, if the studio wants him he's happy to return to the role that made him famous.

In the interview Routh also grouses a bit about how Chrisopher Nolan's 'Batman Begins' didn't totally live up to studio expectations, yet they found room for the sequel. Of course, the actor doesn't own up to the arguable difference in quality and critical reception between 'Batman Begins' and 'Superman Returns'.

I thought it was already confirmed he wouldn't be asked to do another Superman movie?

I didn't know he was still Superman. Last year we reported here: http://www.soapopera...from-movie.html

That we as outsted. Then earlier this year they said no decision had been made. Make up their freakin minds.
