Somebody get this dude to be Jimmy Olsen in the next Superman movie...


After Man of Steel of course, since Jimmy apparently won't be present in that one.

The character is in need of a decent modernization on the big screen( for Smallville fans, I meant feature films, not television, there they've done well), I think Jesse would do great as the character and would work well as Amy Adams and Henry Cavill's best friend.

He's also age appropriate and is already a red head. And even looks like this illustration of the character here-

My ignore list is very, very, very long...

I AGREE. I SEE A LOT OF HIM LATELY AND MORE WOULD BE A SAFE BET

Reading this I wish someone had listened to you before casting "Jenny Olsen". I am sure she will be okay but this guy would be perfect.

Jenny's last name was never revealed so I don't think it will affect Jimmy's role in future films. I hope they include him in MOS 2 or Batman/Superman as it's being referred to, Plemons would be perfect.

I have an unbelievably long ignore list.

Actually, it turns out they did reveal Jenny's last name, in a freeze-frame easter egg, you can see her press badge:

Her name's Jenny Jurwich. I heard they may have added this at the last minute over protests that they changed Jimmy Olsen.

And I agree. He'd be a great choice! I'd love to see him.
