Overview
- Fraser confirms he was a top contender for Superman, completing a Brett Ratner–directed screen test in the costume.
- He recalls reading the script in a locked office under an NDA, printed in black on crimson paper to prevent copying.
- He praises the screenplay as “Shakespeare in space,” calling it a genuinely strong take on the character.
- No photos of him in the suit exist, he says, because taking any was prohibited by the production’s secrecy rules.
- He remembers anxiety about the role and concern over lifelong typecasting, and notes the Flyby effort was shelved as Warner Bros. moved forward with 2006’s Superman Returns after wide casting searches.
