Matt Bomer Reveals Superman Role Loss Tied to His Sexuality

Actor Matt Bomer discusses how being outed as gay impacted his casting in the unmade J.J. Abrams Superman film.

Bomer was initially considered the director's choice after a lengthy audition process.
He signed a three-picture deal with Warner Bros. before being dropped from the project.
Bomer believes his sexuality was used against him during the casting decision.
The film, Superman: Flyby, ultimately never materialized.
Bomer has since found success in other roles, including a Golden Globe win and an Emmy nomination.
