Despite leaving his famed role as detective Elliot Stabler on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," it appears as though Christopher Meloni is already working on some major projects in the near future. According to Hollywood.com, Meloni is set to join "Man of Steel," the latest addition to the Superman franchise directed by Zack Snyder. Although Meloni's role in the film is still relatively unclear, he is just another name added to the already-impressive cast. Critic's Choice reports that Russell Crowe is already tapped to play Jor-El, Amy Adams is pegged for Lois Lane, Kevin Costner will play Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane will be Martha Kent and Michael Shannon was named General Zod. The film, which has "The Tudors" star Henry Cavill in the title role, is being produced by Christopher Nolan of the "Dark Knight" franchise. According to Screen Rant, although the character that Meloni will be playing has not been revealed yet, guesses to his part include Perry White, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, and Lex Luthor, the famed enemy of Superman.
