Kevin Costner heeft getekend voor de rol van Jonathan Kent in Zack Snyders Superman. Dit is de adoptievader van de superheld (Henry Cavill) en de echtgenoot van Martha Kent (Diane Lane). Het is nog onbekend hoe groot de rol van Costner zal gaan worden.
Verder heeft regisseur Snyder tegenover de LA Times gezegd dat we kunnen verwachten dat zijn nieuwe film aan geen enkele voorgaande Superman film verbonden zal zijn:
Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that were making a movie that finally goes with the approach that theres been no other Superman movies. If you look at Batman Begins, theres that structure, theres the canon that we know about and respect but on other hand theres this approach that pre-supposes that there havent been any other movies. In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of respect the canon but dont be a slave to the movies.
Ook stelt hij de fans gerust die vonden dat Bryan Singers Superman Returns te weinig actie bevat:
Our Superman, hes got things to figure out but hes a physical cat.
Snyder gaat verder:
You know that if you do Superman right or at least if you do him with respect you know you end up with something great . [but] in some ways [beyond] that is virgin territory. No one knows what that is. In some ways Superman is the most recognizable superhero on the planet but also the most unknown. Just what he can be? People have preconceived ideas about him but probably all of them are wrong.
De film verschijnt in december 2012 in de bioscoop.
