In an update to today’s revelation that Kevin Costner would be joining Zack Snyder‘s Superman, comes news of his role. Latino Review confirms most of our predictions, that he would be playing Jonathan “Pa” Kent, Superman’s adoptive father. Their “well-placed sources” also re-confirm his casting. I personally think its a great piece of casting as he will be stepping in previous shoes worn by Ed Cassidy and Glenn Ford. Most recently the character was played by John Schneider in Smallville.
Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Immortals) will play Superman and we’ve heard rumors of Lois Lane casting including Olivia Wilde and Rachel McAdams. The Christopher Nolan-produced, David S. Goyer-scripted Superman will hit theaters December 2012, aiming for a production start this summer/fall.
What do you think of Costner as Jonathan Kent in Superman?
