From Deadline:
It's all over but the press release! Almost a month after Deadline revealed that Kevin Costner was in early talks for a lead role in Superman: Man of Steel, I hear that he has closed a deal to play Jonathan Kent, the adoptive dad of Clark Kent. Costner will join Henry Cavill, who is playing the title role, and Diane Lane, who is playing Martha Kent, his adopted mother.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I know everyone pretty much assumed those rumors a month ago were true, but it's really nice to have this confirmation. I think he's perfect for the role, and am even more excited for this movie!
I think he makes for a real good Jonathan Kent. And I believe him and Diane Lane will look good on-screen together as a couple. Now I'm just curious how much they'll actually be in the movie.
On a somewhat side note, I see the first comment on Deadline there is someone pleading for Olivia Wilde to be Lois. I really don't understand what the infatuation is with her. Not that I really have anything against her, but I don't see the big deal. She's done nothing to impress me greatly (in fact, in House, she kinda got on my nerves when I've seen episodes with her). And no, I don't think she'd be perfect for the role of Lois. You want a perfect Lois? Get Rachel McAdams.
hopefully that means jonathan kent will actually live to see the end of a superman movie for a change.
Brandon Routh to Kevin Costner as Superman? Meh...I could go on with how I hate it but oh well. I dont see the interest in an "older" superman, I think he is much more exciting as a younger Superman. Just like how Spiderman is better in high school.
@ Crazay,
You know what's really nerdy...When you said 'green beer' I instantly thought of it being some sort of kryptonite...Wow, can't believe I'm married.
