“Zac feels he’s very much following in the footsteps of Leo and respects his opinion,” a source told Surfme. “He didn’t turn Superman down because of him but Leo was unsure whether it would be the best move for him. It’s a massive franchise. Zac is now chasing more dramatic roles in independent movies.”
