Laurence Fishburne Is Perry White in Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’. Amazing Cast Continues.

Zack Snyder continues assembling a motherfuckin’ beast of a cast for his Superman reboot. The latest entrance into the fray is Laurence Fishburne who will be playing the Man in Command at the Daily Planet.

Slashfilm:

According to the  LA Times‘  Superhero Complex, which broke the news, Fishburne will be the first African-American to fill the role in any of the television shows, cartoons, or films produced since the character’s creation. Fishburne (as I’m sure you probably know) is an accomplished stage and screen actor probably best known for his role of Morpheus in the Wachowski siblings’  Matrix  trilogy. More recently, Fishburne starred in the HBO film  Thurgood, about the life of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and on the CBS series  CSI: Crime Scene Investigation  as Dr. Raymond Langston. (He has since left the show.)

Fuck yeah. Love the fact that they’re rolling out an African American into a slot obviously always inhabited by a white dude. Props on that, Snyder. Now make a good fucking moving befitting this cast.
