Last Thursday, a rumor was started suggesting that Krypton (Superman's home world) does not in fact die in Man Of Steel. Well that rumor has now been shot down by one of the main cast members. Russell Crowe has taken to his Twitter account to confirm that the planet does in fact meet its doom and that Kal-El is the only survivor from what he understands. The old rumor can be found here: Krypton lives in Man Of Steel

“Ahem…as I was saying…my name is Jor El, of Krypton, as my planet dies I send 2 you my son, Kal. So he may live. He will arrive June 14.”

So there goes that whole "Krypton doesn't die" thing. Comment below and let me know what you think of this rumor!

Next summer, "Man of Steel" is coming to the big screen. The film is from director Zack Snyder and producers Charles Roven, Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer from a story by Goyer & Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics.

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

I knew this was the case.....Goyer who is a big Superman fan would not go against the mythology like J.J. did in his script.

Was Krypton ever not going to die?

R888 - 5/5/2013, 3:28 PM

Wasn't this going to happen obviously

spoiler in title?

I figured that the Krypton that Zod wants Kal-El to be a part of is New Krypton. Don't know if that's right or not. ut I'm glad to hear that Supes is still the Last Son of a doomed planet. Well... one of the last sons, anyway.

WellShit - 5/5/2013, 3:34 PM

Great? I didn't think the planet would live. I think there's a new krypton or there will be anyways. Zod maybe has some people alive?

Goyer and Snyder are huge comic book fans, they weren't going to [frick] up the mythology like Black and Pearce did to Iron Man. Although that would be an interesting direction to take the story.

Awesome.
