[Silvermoth]

Pom as mercy would be fun

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm pretty confident we will see Jor-el and Lara, at least in flashbacks.

 

[Silvermoth]

We’ll see Jor-el! And one day…his heirs!

 

[GreenKToo]

We’ll see Jor-el! And one day…his heirs!

A confession. When I was a little kid I always thought zod said "and one day.......his azz".
Lol.

Paul Reiser as Jonathan Kent is all kinds of great. Why not go crazy and bring Helen Hunt as Martha, serious suggestion.

 

[Sawyer]

Reiser seems a better fit for Perry IMO.

Hunt as Martha is something I could see, through. She’s actually crossed my mind if Matt Reeves decides to ever use Leslie Thompkins.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'd love Jeff goldblum as perry.

Jude Law as Jor-el, Charlize Theron as Lara.

And either Kurt Russell, Dennis Quaid, or Bruce greenwood as Jonathan.

Annette Bening as martha

 

[SonsOfKrypto]

Clark Kent/Superman



Lois Lane



Jimmy Olsen



Perry White



Steve Lombard


Cat Grant



Lex Luthor (Adam Driver)

(That's my ideal cast! And yes, I'd like to see some multicultural diversity in the supporting cast, before anyone comes at me for race changes!)

 

[chamber-music]

Ron Pearlman as Bibbo
Sarah Paulson as Captain Maggie Sawyer
Nick Offerman as Inspector Dan Turpin

 

[chamber-music]

Clive Owen as Jor-el
Saffron Borrows as Lara

 

[old city outlaw]

Still kind of love the idea of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson as Jonathan and Martha.

It wouldn't be the first time Tom Hanks has played Superman's dad.

 

[Babillygunn]

A confession. When I was a little kid I always thought zod said "and one day.......his azz".
Lol.

I did as well!

 

[TheScarecrow]

Lex Luthor - Oscar Isaac
Pa Kent - Kurt Russell
Ma Kent - Alfre Woodard
Perry White - Steve Carrell

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'm really interested in the Kents in this. Are they dead, alive. Ma alive, Pa dead? Pa alive, Ma dead? Much to think about...

If they want an older Pa Kent, Jim Beaver would be cool.

 

[Sawyer]

Karen Gillan as Cat Grant. Make it happen, cap’n.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I'm really interested in the Kents in this. Are they dead, alive. Ma alive, Pa dead? Pa alive, Ma dead? Much to think about...

If they want an older Pa Kent, Jim Beaver would be cool.

My guess would be Pa dead, seen in Flashback, and ma alive.

 

[Bran The Man]

I know James Gunn said someone from Guardians is in this, so I say either Zoé Saldana or Karen Gillan for Cat Grant.

And for Perry White, either Jeff Bridges or Keith David.

 

[Eddie Dean]

It's Rooker, obviously.

 

[Nemeres]

Ma Kent - Alfre Woodard
Perry White - Steve Carrell

Great picks. I've loved the idea of interracial Kents for a while.

 

[Babillygunn]

Tom Selleck as Perry White

Jacob Bertrand as Jimmy Olsen

Mark Paul Gosselaar as Steve Lombard


Cynthia Erivo as Maggie Sawyer

Matt Dillon as Dan Turpen



Mike Colter as Bibbo Bibbowski

 

[Bran The Man]

I would say save either Mark-Paul Gosselaar or Matt Dillon for Metallo.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Michael Rosenbaum is Steve Lombard
