Kurt Russell Teases: Kurt Russell has addressed speculations about his potential role as Jor-El in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman reboot film, “Superman Legacy.” In an interview with ComicBook.com, Russell, alongside his son Wyatt Russell, discussed their roles in the Apple TV+ series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” which naturally led to conversations about superhero universes.
Playfully embracing the idea of taking on Marlon Brando’s iconic portrayal of Jor-El in the classic Richard Donner Superman movie, Russell expressed admiration for Brando’s captivating performance. “I mean, there was something awesome about the way he was just looking around I don’t care that he was looking at his lines he’s crazy-great to watch!” Russell exclaimed with a laugh.
While not confirming any official information, Russell hinted at the possibility of exploring a new version of Jor-El. “You know what: we don’t know a lot about Jor-El. Maybe there’s a version… I never heard this, so I don’t know. James Gunn was a blast to work with, though, so you never know.”
Russell previously collaborated with James Gunn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portraying Ego the Living Planet, the father of Star-Lord, in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Given Gunn’s vision for a brighter and more fantastical Superman, Russell could potentially take on the role of Jor-El, guiding David Corenswet’s Kal-El/Superman. Alternatively, he might embody the DCU version of Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent’s earthly father, previously played by Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel.” The prospect of Russell joining the DC Studios universe remains open, as he acknowledged Gunn’s enjoyable collaboration.
