Russell Crowe is in talks to play Superman's father Jor-El in the Zack Synder's "Man of Steel."
Variety broke the story, which mirrors the marquee casting of Marlon Brando as Jor-El in 1978's "Superman."
If Crowe does take the role, he will join Henry Cavill ("Stardust") as Superman, Amy Adams ("Enchanted") as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Jonathan and Martha Kent and Michael Shannon (HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") as General Zod.
"The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is producing and helped develop the story with David S. Goyer, who wrote the screenplay.
Jor-El is a scientist who discovers his planet Kryton's impending doom and sends his son in a rocket to Earth to save him.
Crowe, who is filming "The Man with the Iron Fists," was last seen in "The Next Three Days" and "Robin Hood," both of which hit theaters last year.
