Actor Orlando Bloom is reportedly in talks with the producers of 'Superman Returns' to play a part in the forthcoming sequel.

The 'Pirates of The Caribbean' actor is said to have spoken to the film's producers Mindy and Jon Peters.

A site claims that since Bloom's ex girlfriend Kate Bosworth had played the role of Lois Lane in the first film, it is expected that the actor will play the part of Man of Steel.

"Bloom's ex-girlfriend Kate Bosworth played Lois Lane in the first film. So speculation has already begun over Bloom playing the Man of Steel," Moviehole quoted Slashfilm.com, as reporting.

However, a Warner Bros insider said that the actor would not play Superman in the film.
