Daily Planet Editor In 'Superman Returns' Cast


Frank Langella is to star as Perry White in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns instead of Hugh Laurie, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Laurie bowed out because of a scheduling conflict with his TV series, 'House.' Perry White is the editor of the Daily Planet, the newspaper where Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent, works as a journalist. In Singer's version, White has a son named Richard, played by James Marsden, who is Lois Lane's love interest.

Langella played Count Dracula in Universal Pictures' 1979 Dracula.
