(RTTNews) - Russell Crowe is in talks to join the Zack Snyder-directed remake of the Superman series, Man of Steel.
The actor has been pegged to star in the role of Superman's biological father, Jor-El. In the 1978 version of the flick, the same role was filled by Marlon Brando.If Crowe signs on, he will join an all-star cast featuring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Michael Shannon.
Details of the film's plot have been scarce, but Snyder assured MTV News last fall that the story is top-notch:
"All I'll say is that those guys [screenwriter David Goyer and Christopher Nolan] have created an amazing story . . . Everyone always says, 'Why Superman? Why is he relevant? Who is he now?' I think those guys have done an amazing job with that. That's the real trick."
