Your big break could be coming very, very soon.

The makers of the next Superman movie are hiring people in and around Chicago to share the screen with Krypton’s favorite son.

According to assorted published reports, men, women and children are invited to three casting calls for paid jobs as extras in “Superman: Man of Steel.” The first of them is set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at DePaul University’s satellite campus at 150 W. Warrenville Road in Naperville.

There will be additional opportunities to show your screen-ready skills from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Plano High School gym, 704 W. Abe St. in Plano; and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 25 at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, 1010 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago.

“Man of Steel” is scheduled to shoot in Plano and other area locations in August and September. Henry Cavill has the title role, and Amy Adams will play opposite him as Lois Lane. Russell Crowe reportedly is negotiating to play Superman’s Kryptonian father. Zack Snyder will direct.
