Sorry ladies (and gentlemen), but it looks like "Mad Men" actor Jon Hamm won't be donning blue and red spandex for "Superman: The Man of Steel" anytime soon. The actor appeared on "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning and denied any affiliation with the project, saying "If that's something that the powers that be are thinking about, I hope they get in touch with me."
Casting rumors (not to mention wishful thinking) have been circulating the web for some time now, with fans of the studly actor hoping to see him take on the cape for WB's newest incarnation of the Man of Steel. But as we've said before and we'll say it here again, studios have a lot of "possibles," so it's likely Hamm's name is on a list somewhere, but probably one amongst many. From casting to who will helm the project, rumors of all kinds have been swirling around for some time, so it will probably be a while before we see what develops once the dust settles.
But don't worry Hamm fans, there is plenty to see in the mean time; the 4th season of "Mad Men" is winding down (or heating up?) on AMC, and the actor can currently be seen on the big screen in both "Howl" and Ben Affleck's "The Town."

SHOCKED
The headline is misleading, as the interview makes it clear that Hamm is open to considering the part if asked, which he always sort of seemed to be hedging about before. And if the Nolans don't at least want to have a conversation with him I'll be very surprised.
I bet Kellan Lutz and Armie Hammer make the list of actors who screen test for Superman...
