Man, I’m not even ashamed to say that I had tears on my eyes when you started to read the panels. What a great casting! And yes, now we have Martha too! Mr Gunn is always watching 😂👀
For the record everyone: Pruitt Taylor Vince (Pa Kent) has NOT played Kingpin. He was a huge fancast, but has NOT played him.

Honestly mocking this new guy by comparing his looks to Costner is so weird and gross, if you are doing that you deserved to lose the Snyderverse
Jonathan Kent was alive during Superman The Animated Series, and James Gunn did say that DCU Chapter One Gods and Monsters will take inspiration from the DCAU.
I trust Gunn so I’m just excited to see this movie! And I hope Jonathan is alive for most if not the entire movie 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I come home from working 10 hours, home by 12 a.m. U.S. East coast time. Catch ya late night to wind down,or before i hit work. Thanks brother. You are vastly appreciated.
Been waiting for this!!! What a unique casting choice!!
Pruitt Taylor Vince is an amazing Actor he's been in dozens of great media including my 3rd favorite movie Jacobs Ladder but he can play any role his range is insane, this is another win
Gunn/DC waiting for Boba to post his updates before posting their's, like Spongebob trying to catch the bus avoiding him in Rock Bottom.
At this point I think they know you're reporting on Superman news & are actively screwing with you by announcing new cast members as SOON as you upload 😂. Jokes aside though, I like how this version of Jonathan honestly looks like a father you can go up to & just tell he's a good man. While that might sound weird to some it's how I felt seeing the image of him.
Boba, I love when you read that scene from FOR ALL SEASONS. What a fine, fine thing to say about the kind of scenes you want to see in the film. I want those scenes, too. They define Superman. No one knew Burt Young before Rocky and, in many ways, he was, as Apollo Creed/ the late great Carl Weathers said, "the heart and soul of the film," the real everyman. When you select scenes from Superman comics, you do a fine job.
Gunn literally must be stallking this channel
I agree. They should what Supeman the animated series did and he still have papa Kent during his 1st few months or few years as Superman
That X Files episode gave me nightmares as a kid. He was so great in it tho.
Don't forget both parents were around in the Lois and Clark the new adventures of Superman
Good thing we have it pretty much confirmed Pa and Ma Kent will be alive. Unless they are only in a flashback of course.
I think he'd be better fit as Hugo Strange. I say that after seeing a role he was in on HBO's True Blood. Maybe Penguin even.
You know what? I rly like the casting too boba. Doing that cool little slideshow type thing you did at the end, and the all star and for all seasons vibes, I feel REALLY good about this. #SUPERMAN2025
YES! finaly changing it up for once, i believe it will be great to have jonathan kent alive in the movie to help Superman along the way
I loved those panels, thank you for showing them. Agree with you 100%.
And Martha Kent was just cast lmao. Neva Howell will portray her. Personally i love these castings. I can totally see them as the kind, down to earth farmers and parents to Clark.
Less stars mean more money into Vfx🙏

There are tons and tons of stories and entire continuities where both Kents are alive, I think it’ll be good to have a younger Clark with confidants he can turn too.
Please post a video tomorrow. Otherwise we won’t get the suit reveal.
Tomorrow we get Superman and the rest of the cast suit reveals....after Boba uploads new vid
I need this movie to do good and be good 😂🙏 dc animation was my childhood and what snyder did was diabolical it was a big slap to me everything was just like a fanboy adaptation of the heros 😂 he did get cavil and Superman look perfect tho
Nathan fillion is pretty popular
Dang I’ve always known him to play like serial killer type characters from Halloween to Identity.. Playing a charming endearing Jonathan Kent? Interesting..
I could be wrong, but I do remember Gunn explaining that for the Superman movie that the castings were done through auditions instead of just regularly offering roles. I don’t know if that applied to ALL characters or just the main ones, but if the former is true? Gunn really did get to SEE how Pruitt Taylor performed as Jonathan and picked him because he saw the vision. Same could be said for Martha likely.
Boba, i literally just finished your video just to find out Ma Kent was cast as well
Funny thing about “Big actors”, and “Star power”; having Crowe & Costner in MOS didn’t help it at the box office or critic reviews one bit. 🙂
Martha Kent just got cast too and I’m a big fan of your vids bro! Keep up the f4ntastic work my man!

This is the guy who’s eyes shake uncontrollably right?
I've wanted a Pa Kent surviving to Clark becoming Superman in the movies (like he was for much of post-Crisis) for decades, it's maddening that the only live action version we have that's done it is Lois and Clark.
Boba: uploaded new DC roundup video James Gunn: let's put some news out there great video as always
The castings also remind me a lot of Martha and Jonathan in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”, which I think is great. And I’m with you Boba, Jonathan should absolutely be alive. This all powerful being needing the counsel and guidance of his wise human father is way more valuable to the character than the lesson of his death. I’m sick of Jonathan being killed in live action when he can add so much by being present in Clark’s life. He’s been alive in the comics for decades.
the curse is real

@claudiabcarvalho
Ай бұрын
Who said Lana is going to be in the movie? I'm confused.
Yes, Neva Howell has been cast as Martha Kent.
"Been showing off a bit haven't you , son ?" - Jonathan kent
Superman's parents are alive & well in the comics. Donner just killed Jonathan off to give Superman something to struggle with, for whatever reason🤷🏼♂️ That always made Reeves Superman feel like a loner in the world. I prefer them being alive and offering advice to Clark whenever he needs it, like in The Adventures of Lois & Clark with Dean Cain & Teri Hatcher❤
I'm starting to think DC is doing this out of spite 😆
He’s a GREAT actor and will make a excellent Johnathan Kent!
My Pa Kent is Eddie Jones from Lois and Clark in the 90s. So this seems right on par for me.
Pa and Ma could sty alive like the Byrne post Crisis era of Superman. And very well used as people for Clark to speak to all about his own issues.
I 100% want Pa Kent to be alive! He should be a presence in the first movie. Give us time to see that relationship with Clark. Let it breathe, build it. And then in the sequel…rip Clark’s (and our) heart out with his death.
He’s a wonderful actor. A great choice for papa Kent.
I have not seen Pruitt Taylor Vince in anything, but if you have faith in him then so do I (Also possible suit reveal tomorrow!)
I'll admit, I was initially surprised and judgmental about his looks. Then I realize how it makes sense for a regular (not hollywood-level attractive) person to play the role, and how shallow I was for caring so much about appearance.
Great actor ,but definitely not someone ive imagined for Jonathan kent im sure I'll come around once i see the movie though.
Everytime😂
Ma & Pa Kent were alive all through Superman the animated series and Justice League/JL Unlimited.. it's fine if his parents are alive during his journey.
Pruitt Taylor Vince? Interesting casting
Between this and “My Adventures With Superman” (which has a Martha who is quite pudgy, but in a sweet motherly way) I think the idea of the Kent parents not being Hollywood-attractive is actually an appealing thing… Considering it accentuates where Clark’s humility and steady-footed compassion comes from; he’s not a good person because he’s conventionally-handsome, it’s because these kind people taught him the value of empathy and equity among all people. And he carries that into his Superman persona, when he could otherwise have been arrogant and narcissistic.
Having larger star power can bring in a wider audience, especially those who may not necessarily be familiar with the source material. However, well-known actors can also be a detriment to the overall plot, by being a distraction from the character they may be portraying. A lesser-known actor who can truly personify the character can get an audience more invested in the movie, bringing a more genuine connection to the character being portrayed.
The Boba curse continues 😂
Martha cast as soon as Boba finished the video lol
I like the Pa Kent casting . I think he is a good actor and do agree he does look like Pa Kent from Superman for all seasons. F The haters Gunn knows what he is doing .
I think he will make an excellent Pa Kent. He's one on a handful of actors who always brings an extra dimension to every character he portrays. Incidentally, has anyone ever seen James Gunn and Adam Savage in the same room together? Just sayin'.😊
We all have our expectations; however, this actor is quite brilliant in many roles! interesting...the script will say it all...this casting of Pruit Taylor VInce is spot on when you think of farmers in general, he's old but not too old, he's heavy set but not obese, he's a good actor not a top star...James is brilliant and this movie will be knocked out of the park!
im waiting for James Gunn to admit hes trolling us at this point
It’s always a better day when Boba posts
1. John Kent isn't related to Clark biologically so it doesn't matter how he looks, any older actor can play the role. 2. The people that think John has to die so Clark can learn that he can't save everyone are ignorant and probably only familiar with Zack Snyder's Superman or Richard Donner's Superman. John Kent was alive during the entirety of the DCAU, with some great moments in Justice League Unlimited and he's alive in the comics right now.
I really hope they keep Johnathan alive, not just through this movie but at least for a while in the DCU. Outside of Smallville, it seems like we always have Johnathan gone before Clark becomes Superman in live action and I hope this is the first time they go in the other direction with him. He lived in the Bruce Timm DCAU and in different iterations of the comics, let's get him long term in live action as well. Johnathan Kent is not Ben Parker folks.
They are going for a traditional Americana rural farmer feel especially with neva howell just being cast i can already feel the vision he is going for...... Theres a video of pruitt in
LITERALLY EVERY TIME U DROP A VID LMAO
Can’t wait to see Wendell Pierce with a cigar!

Jonathan Kent should be alive for at least two superman films I'm so tired of him being dead every time in movies. Even in dcau he was alive for the entire time
Great casting, I just hope Jon Kent sticks around for more then 1 movie.
