Academy Awarding winning actor Russell Crowe has just been cast to play Superman's biological father Jor-El in Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel'.
In the first Superman movies the role of Jor-El was played by the great Marlon Brando who appeared in the crystals in Superman's Arctic hideaway. Even though there may have been other Superman movies made you shouldn't expect 'Man of Steel' to be anything like them because Zack has already said that he's making this movie as if there was none before it.
Russell Crowe will join Kevin Costner, who will be playing Clark Kent's adoptive father, Diane Lane as Ma Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Michael Shannon as General Zod.
I'm actually a big big fan of Russell Crowe and know he's gonna be great.
