Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder have reportedly been looking for a “marquee” actor to play Supes’ father in the Man of Steel reboot of the Superman franchise, someone with the acting chops that would parallel what Marlon Brando brought to the role in Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman film. According to Variety, the Oscar winning Australian actor Russell Crowe is about to step in Brando’s shoes and play Jor-El, the Kryptonian father of Superman (Henry Cavill) in the new Warner Bros. epic. Crowe will join a cast that includes (in addition to Cavill) Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Superman’s adoptive human parents, the Kents, and Michael Shannon, who will play the villainous General Zod.
