"True Blood" star and ex-Flash Thompson, Joe Manganiello spoke to ComicBookMovie.com about how he lost out in playing Clark Kent/Superman because of his role in "True Blood". Manganiello was once in the running for the lead role in Zach Snyder's "Man Of Steel", but lost out to Brit, Henry Cavill. "True Blood" gave him the chance, but "True Blood" also took that chance away from him.
This is what Manganiello said about his chance with playing Superman, "Well, I mean,
the thing about Superman was it... I mean, I know the right one is out
there for me... there wasn’t anything I could do with Superman. There
was interest from every single possible angle on that project, and the
reason they were interested was because of TRUE BLOOD. From the
director, to casting, to the producers involved, it was all because of
TRUE BLOOD, that was why I was in the running. And at the end of the
day, it was TRUE BLOOD’s schedule that kept me from doing it. There’s
just no human way possible I could be in two places at once when I’m
contracted to be on TRUE BLOOD," He then was asked about what it would be like to get the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in next years planned reboot, "From your mouth
to God’s ears, man. I mean of course, I grew up, as a kid, I read comic
books, and I watched every single comic book movie that ever... You
know, I was a big sci-fi fan, I was just that kid. I’m a fanboy at
heart. So, yeah, that is on my radar."
