Warner Bros. Pictures has confirmed that Kevin Costner is going to play Jonathan Kent in the new Superman movie.  I love it! Kevin is perfect for this!

The film will be directed by Zack Snyder who stated,

“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 super hero of all time.”

Are you looking forward to the latest edition to the Superman family?  I think this one is going to be really, really good.  This one is coming out until December 2012, so be patient!  Stay tuned for more details as they are released!
