That said my sources close to Chris Rock are talking about how he might very well become JIMMY OLSEN in the upcoming SUPERMAN flick.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that. I guess it depends on how they use the character. To me Jimmy always symbolized me, in no short part to him having red hair and freckles. I always thought of Jimmy as all us boys out there that wanted to be Superman’s Pal, just as Lois was every girl’s envy and self projected character to be Superman’s Girlfriend. And Perry White always seemed to be the father figure for me. Where does that leave Lex Luthor? Well I always thought of Lex as the playground bully, always picking on everyone. By the way, Kevin Spacey is headed for Lex, not Nicholson. Casting is beginning to look like it’ll flesh out a bit more.
