MAN OF STEEL Star Kevin Costner Won't Reveal Whether Pa Kent Returns In JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SNYDER CUT

In a new interview, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Kevin Costner chose his words carefully when asked whether he returns in Justice League: The Snyder Cut. Check it out...

Man of Steel devoted a lot of time to Clark Kent's relationship with his adoptive father, Jonathan, and the character returned in a vision during the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

There was no sign of him in Justice League, but it's no secret that most of Zack Snyder's work ended up on the cutting room floor once Joss Whedon took over. So, will we get more Pa Kent in the Snyder Cut coming to HBO Max?

During a recent interview with Cinema Blend, actor Kevin Costner was asked if we could see him in the director's cut. "I don’t know. You don’t want to be kissin’ and tellin’ in life," he teased. "You’re pokin’ me a little bit. I’m not...I can’t tell you."

It's hard not to be intrigued by these remarks, and with Snyder currently in charge of costly reshoots, there's no reason to suspect Costner couldn't also return. If he does, it will only be in another vision or flashback, but that could add a lot to the moment Kal-El rises from the grave and joins the rest of the Justice League to take on the villainous Steppenwolf. 

With no firm premiere date for Justice League: The Snyder Cut, we don't know when we'll get another look at the four-part series, but it probably won't this year. We'll obviously keep you guys updated, but be sure to weigh in on your thoughts on Costner's comments in the usual place.

Superman already has a connection to humanity in Lois, so I feel like there is no need for Pa Kent to return. Even his return in BvS felt kinda out of place.

Snyder's Pa Kent sucked.

@WakandanQueen - No he didn't. He was like a real dad...he didn't have all the answers, and he just wanted to keep his son safe.

I hope he does.
His Flashback Scene on the mountain really hit home what Superhero movies need to explore more of. Consequence of action. But also coming to peace that there will always be consequences to any decision But if you can find and hold onto the reason for making those decisions...you can carry on.
It would be nice to have 1 more Pa Kent/Clark scene...to finally complete Clark’s arc to the “Superman” that many people have wanted to see.

Yeah his Pa Kent could've been amazing. He's a better actor the older he gets, but man the writing sucked for Pa. And his death? Oy vey. The heart attack from Superman: The Movie made much more sense. "All these powers, and I couldn't save him" is way more poignant than "Shit, I couldn't save him from a tornado"

@Dredd97 - I hear you. And unlike the heart attack, the tornado moment could've been different.

I wish that the tornado scene went like this.


Clark sees Jonathan injured, is about to save him but sees his father say no to protect his identity. Clark, against his wishes, uses a touch of his speed to get to him but there's not enough time to get clear of the tornado, so he and Johnathan enter a car, in which Clark wedges himself between the seats and Jonathan and get taken away in the tornado (easy reference to 2001's Smallville here). When it all clears out, everyone is helping Martha in her frantic state as they (for her peace of mind) search for the two Kents, which they all logically believe are dead, but soon enough, both Clark and Jonathan appear alive and well, with Clark's clothing a bit tattered. Jonathan is furious of course, but in that moment he's never been more prouder of his son and when after Metropolis, Clark asks him did he make the right choice, revealing himself to the world and what came of it, Jonathan proudly recounts the tornado and says to him he knew then Clark was ready to change the world.

Unbelievable. They want to make all of these allusions to Jonathan Kent, yet this all could've been avoided if they didn't kill him off.

@TheLight - but then how could Superman have two ghost daddies fighting for his affection? The next movie was going to be Justice League part 2: dawn of dead daddies

Great casting by Snyder, pairing him and Diane Lane up, as Ma & Pa Kent. They even got a spin-off movie coming out.🤣
