Im really interested to see how they'll use Pa and Ma Kent in this movie.

I liked Man of Steel, but Pa Kent was one of the worst parts of that movie. The reason Clark was so happy after he "met" Jor El was because Jor El was the one who told Clark to use his gifts, to be a beacon of hope and change and goodness. This was such a stark contrast to Pa because Pa kept holding him back. Also, Pa kept telling Clark to hide his powers, not to demonstrate how special he was, because he was afraid of how the world would react, but Pa was the one who showed some of the Keyptonian tech to a scientist! That was a HUGE risk to expose what was going on in that household! And let's not even get started on Pa's death scene, or the fact that he inexplicably had a weird southern accent in that dream sequence in Justice League.

Snyder should've never been involved with DC his films were terrible. Why couldn't DC hire Brad Bird to direct Man of Steel? That would've been a fantastic movie.

Personally, I think John Schnider was the perfect Johnathan Kent in Smallville. He was there for Clark when he got the majority of his powers and constantly re-assured him that he was loved and that when it was Clark's time to shine that he was going to do great things. I know James Gunn is as great with writing emotional dialogue as he is with comedic, so I trust that he'll write Clark and Johnathan's dynamic as grounded as possible. The whole reason why James Gunn is writing and directing the film is to serve as a tribute to his father as he said on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast.

I think that it’s telling that these two didn’t mention John Schneider as it goes against the narrative they want to paint and the personal bias they have in relation to the casting couch

I would like to see more of those intimate character-building moments for Clark Kent / Superman in a film or animation. A scene where, as a young person, he accidentally harms someone or kills a pet because he briefly became impatient. His father listening as Clark realizes in his regret that he can never let his passions rule him. A pillow-talk scene where he explains to Lois that she has the same weight as a feather, that he must embrace her as gently as handling a delicate bird, where she breaks the gloom by joking, “So I’m your chick?” A scene where young Superman meets a President for the first time and they hash out an understanding and build some mutual trust. So, basically, a movie with dialogue like Oppenheimer but with Clark Kent as the protagonist.

I really like this actor and wish we saw him more.

One of my favorite character actors! I think he'll do great and bring something new to the character.

Snyder cultists are bad faith actors and should be ignored. Gunn and his team have always been great at casting and these roles are no different. I just hope Jonathan Kent has a little gray hair on his head like on Superman for all Seasons and Superman TAS. His actor is bald but he can wear a wig and/or a hat.

I have to say that Gunn gets characters, he’ll hit the mark here. I also watched the “Adventures of Lois and Clark” growing up. That Pa Kent was a great fit and felt completely natural.

The only way you get Kal through now… Ma and Pa Kent had a child… was about same age… got sick… taking him to hospital… dies in truck… parents crying on way to hospital… ship crashes… they have him replace their Clark and bury their real son on the farm… now has birth certificate, social and no fingerprints on file with hospital

The Snyder cultists are some of the most toxic folks on the Internet. So I'm not surprised about the comparisons.

Now, if I were to try and push my opinion on you and try to make you have the same opinion and view as me, THEN that would be toxic.

I love these casting choices. It feels like a cross between the Kents castings from Superman The Movie and Lois & Clark The New Adventures Of Superman. I hope James Gunn keeps both Ma And Pa Kent alive so that Clark has someone to confide in.

Honestly I think the only reason I didn't vibe with the casting is he doesn't look like what I would think Pa Kent would look like. That being said I've never seen this guy in anything and I'm excited for Gunn's DCU so screw it as long as he delivers good character moments I'm on board.

Lets b honest here. Snyder's version of Pa Kent committed suicide by nature cuz he felt Clark's secret was more important. That was not something no father would do. Now, Yondu sacrificed himself to sav his his adopted son Peter. That was emotional & relatable cuz parents will sacrifice themselves to sav their children. You can not really compare these two deaths as equal. Thats crazy talk. The only true real death of Pa Kent is Richard Donner's version. Clark having that last conversation with Pa bout why Clark was sent to earth for a reason. Then Clark was feeling better until Clark wanted to race with his dad not knowing that would cause a stroke & Pa Kent dropped dead of natural causes. That was as real as it gets. Ill never lose that scene

That Pa Kent casting is spot on! I'm finally looking forward to a Superman film. All the DC films have just been so.... ugh.

He looks heroic which makes Superman seem a little less super. Similarly, if you cast a short Lois it naturally makes Superman seem taller and more super.

It's a modern rural conservative self image thing, but hollywood's historical glam shares much of the blame. Thanks to Bro-Country with its vast array of JCrew models who make careers putting out cookie cutter anthems patronizing and romanticizing midwest/southern life, rural folk enjoy the flattery and have a problem with hollywood portraying them as they actually are. Especially when there's pretty good odds that they'll cast some Pierce Brosnan level dude as Thomas Wayne. We'll see how it goes, but if they're going to portray the Kent household more realistically(which I'm ALL IN on), then let's see them do that with the rest of the supporting cast.

in some DC animated shows, there are different representations of Jonathan Kent, old and a bit fat and wrinkly... so i don't mind if they casted him...he is good a good actor playing most as villain, now it would seem nice playing on the good side...

Exactly. Good to see a decent actor play against type. Plus, I like how they're challenging the whole 'fat, homely Southern man of a certain age must be an evil redneck' stereotype, and instead casting the guy as one of the most upstanding characters in comic-book lore.

Great to see "average" looking people cast in these parts - way more relatable!

I like that actor. He usually plays a creep, so him playing Pa Kent will be great. Not only Lois and Clark, I think the Jonathan kent from Superboy was regular looking guy too.

Didn't the Snyder-Verse make Pete Ross a chubby, ginger guy with glasses when in most comics he's a tall handsome blond dude? So, it's a bit rich for them to complain that the new Jonathan Kent actor isn't handsome enough for the part.

Tommy move that wire from under the tv and the on air sign a little more to the left. Nice setup

My problem with this casting versus Snyder’s, is that I question whether this Pa Kent will be willing enough to let innocent children perish? Snyder’s shown us that’s an important part of the character 😅

I think James Gunn doesn't intend on doing the origin story in his superman movie. We've seen that too many times and none of the other characters announced fit into an origin movie. This'll be just another superman adventure.

Remember when Craig was picking for bond and the outcry that caused He's blonde and he doesn't look right And then casino royale came out and everyone couldn't praise him enough So I say wait and see and give Pruitt a chance

Kevin Costner was not my cup of tea. At the end of the day, people are going to hate regardless. It's kind of boring to see them complain over every little detail.

I love MoS, it is my favorite Superman movie. If I say that I get people attacking me for being a "Snyderbot" and not being able to "let go". When all I said was I loved MoS. lol I also find it hilarious that in the same message they will tell me to "let go of Cavill as Superman" but then say how no one can be as good as Reeve. The hypocrisy. It's like why can't things be a range. I liked most Superman stuff. Just because I think MoS is the best doesn't mean I don't like Reeve or Routh. That being said, it is a double edge sword for sure. Those that love Cavill and can't be open minded for the new stuff is just as close minded.

Great casting for Ma and Pa. And Lois. I was being crotchety before but I’m on board

You all know that Pa Kent wasn’t Superman’s biological father, right?

He was really good in Deadwood. Character progression out the wazoo in that role.

James Gunn is going to get this right and the new DC films will be excellent, I predict

You know, I had never thought about it until he mentioned it, BUT, even if he was super thin, I'd love to see Tommy as Mojo, for his energy alone. I think he'd be able to do Mojo perfectly. He just gets bonus points for happening to be able to visually represent him also

Just think about how fans revolted when Keaton was cast as Batman; nothing new here. The internet is just a bigger louder megaphone.

So far my favorite Jonathan Kent has been Eddie Jones in Lois & Clark. I don’t know this new actor’s work well enough to have an educated opinion on his casting. This movie will succeed or fail based on how it’s advertised first and script second. I’m choosing to stay positive and hope for the best. As long as James Gunn doesn’t go down hill the same way Joss Whedon did after the first Avengers we should be okay. I want to love this movie when it comes out, and I want everyone else to love it too.

Are the men in comics also not drawn with crazy proportions?

Love this casting can’t wait to see what they bring to the rolls … also Tommy for Bibo Bibowski🎉

thinking about the casting of Jonathon Kent in The Adventures of Superman in the 90's and he looked nothing like Dean Cain. Not to mention that he wasn't even remotely Japanese, which is part of Dean Cain's heritage.

I'm pretty sure the outrage is just from a really small amount of people and/or bots, much like the Synder fandom.
