Kevin Costner Signs On for “Superman” Gig

He’s got a long-standing career in Tinseltown, and Kevin Costner has recently agreed to a supporting role in the new “Superman” revival.

The “Dances with Wolves” stud will play Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent’s (played by Henry Cavill) adoptive father.

Lucky for Costner, Hollywood hottie Diane Lane has been cast as Clark’s mother Martha Kent. The film will be directed by Zack Snyder.

Snyder told press, "Jonathan Kent is the only father figure Clark has ever had, the man who was there to help Clark understand what he was meant to do in the world as Superman. Kevin will be able to communicate the quiet strength of this rural American man who raised the greatest superhero of all time."
