James Gunn has been filming his new film, Superman, for a few weeks now but there’s still plenty of news to be had. Case in point, the actor behind Jonathan Kent, aka Superman’s Earth father, has just been revealed. The Wrap reports that character actor Pruitt Taylor Vince, best known for roles in films like Bird Box, Natural Born Killers, and Identity, as well as shows like Deadwood, Agents of SHIELD, and Stranger Things, is playing the character.
This also has us wondering, who is playing Martha Kent, Jonathan’s wife, and if Batman’s mom will have the same name? Oh, maybe not that last part. Either way, Taylor Vince is a very interesting choice because he’s one of those great, chameleon-type actors who can take a role in so many ways. You want super creepy? You want an adorable teddy bear? Taylor Vince has it all.
