DETROIT, MI -- The untitled "Batman vs. Superman" movie with Ben Affleck as The Caped Crusader and Henry Cavill as The Man of Steel reportedly seeks extras for its cast in Metro Detroit.

CBS Detroit reports on its website the casting call will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 27 at the Somerset Inn at 2601 W. Big Beaver Road in Troy.

The CBS Detroit website mentions that the film's casting directors seek "men and women at least 18-years-old who are clean-cut military and law enforcement types or business executives in suits."

The "Batman vs. Superman" film reportedly had its release date pushed back to May 6, 2016. The original release date was July 7, 2015.

Production on the film, according to the Michigan Film Office, is expected to begin in metro Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime "in the first quarter of 2014."

The Michigan Film Office awarded "Batman vs. Superman" filmmakers last summer an incentive of $35 million on $131 million of projected in-state expenditures.

Michigan Film Office spokeswoman Michelle Grinnell told Detroit radio station WWJ 950 AM that "Batman vs. Superman" is the largest film ever to be shot in Michigan.

The film office expects the movie to create hundreds of jobs for crew members and about 6,000 jobs for extras.

Cavill was reportedly spotted in February at Motor City Cross Fit gym in Sterling Heights.

And Affleck is expected to spend plenty of time in Detroit this summer with wife Jennifer Garner.

Garner told Detroit Sports 105.1 FM in February she will be with her husband in the metro area "all summer" and claimed she didn't know the movie's title.
