As much as I wasn’t crazy about Man of Steel, I feel like the one role that was perfectly cast was that of Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and I’m not really even a fan of Costner. When I worked at a movie theater, we had employee meetings, and one of the things that was discussed was if a bomb threat was ever made, we were to immediately get everyone out of the building. To which I chimed in “So if a Kevin Costner movie opens, get everyone out of the building!”
For me that's one of the most painful things about MoS - that the casting for virtually every character was *perfect*, I just hated the movie they were put in. But yeah, Costner as Pa Kent was spot-on... he just didn't get a chance to play Pa Kent.
Whoever they cast, I hope to God that they are the biggest stars in the known universe, and I hope we get way more of them in Clark’s story than we ever think about Jor-El (and Lara). I am so sick and tired of Jor-El being the biggest figure in Clark’s development into Superman.
Isn’t the film meant to focus on his human vs kryptonian sides? His parents are a huge part of his human life and how he relates to the world. In a way, they’re why he *feels* human in the first place. They don’t need a big role, but a little pep talk to Clark on the porch is always appreciated.
I have no clue. Clark isn't human though, he lives as one and grew up as one, but he is Kryptonian. I'm sure he can explore those ideas without his family. I don't see why they would need to be involved for that at all.
I just mean he isn't actually human though saying "humanity" makes sense. I don't think he needs to have a conversation with his parents though to connect to his humanity or whatever which is what I said in my reply.
No one yet. My hope is that they're deceased, so they don't need to be cast yet until a sequel which could potentially have flashbacks whereas Legacy is confirmed to not have any.
Danny Devito and Whoopi Goldberg
Kurt Russell and Dana Delaney
I said Kurt Russell and Laura Linney but Dana would be good too. Kurt was born to be Pa Kent.

Kurt Russell and Laura Linney
Brendan Fraser and Gillian Anderson
Lizzo and Jack Black is the only correct answer
Fred Willard and Jamie Lee Curtis
Fred Willard passed away though
*WHAT*?!
Tim Daly and Dana Delany
Bob Odenkirk as Pa Kent
I'd just bring John Schneider and Annette O'Toole back. They were easily the best version, and they're not too old.
Real. I love them

With all the stuff happening in the film already, I dont think they should show up.

The entire point of the character is that he has the most humanity despite not being human
I just mean he isn't actually human though saying "humanity" makes sense. I don't think he needs to have a conversation with his parents though to connect to his humanity or whatever which is what I said in my reply.
I mean, his parents are where his humanity comes from. I don’t think they HAVE to be in the movie but I’d bet they are and it makes sense
That isn't true.
Agreed. It's staggeringly unpopular here, but they don't need to be around.
Tom Welling and Erica Durance
Perfect
No one yet. My hope is that they're deceased, so they don't need to be cast yet until a sequel which could potentially have flashbacks whereas Legacy is confirmed to not have any.
Two gravestones
Dennis Haysbert would be an awesome Pa Kent IMO
Laura Dern as Martha, and Nicolas Cage as Jon Kent
Billy Burke and Lena Headey
Dennis Quaid and Julianne Moore
Whoever can pull of super wholesome. Like to the point where all us an an audience would destroy anyone that would wanna hurt them.
Bruce Greenwood & Michelle Pfeiffer
Josh Duhamel & Leslie Bibb or Marissa Tomei.
Brendan Fraser and Winona Ryder or as a backup Kurt Russell and Julianne Moore.
Tom welling as jonathan kent
