As we know, lane was recently cast as Martha Kent in Zack Snyder's Superman movie. Speaking to USA Weekend.com the actress sounds like she is looking forward to playing the woman that will shape the young Clark Kent into The Man Of Steel.“It’s going to be a wild ride she told the site.



She also reveals that in preparation for the role she recently watched Snyder's Watchmen again..

“to remind myself of what an audacious, brilliant man Zack Snyder is."

“I love 300 and I’m very flattered to play Martha Kent and live up to his vision. It’s pretty cool.”

“I’ve always wanted to raise a good man, I thought that was the biggest challenge a woman could have, and so I get the embarrassment of riches.”


Interestingly, when commenting on the role Clark's parents will play in this movie, the site adds the following..

They also bestow upon him a solid set of values that will help him later as he becomes the world’s greatest superhero, fights enemies like Lex Luthor and General Zod, and dons an oh-so-fashionable red cape.


Could they know something about the villains we don't from talking to Lane? Or are they just commenting on what are simply solid guesses and assumptions for now? I'm thinking the latter but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Along with Henry Cavill as Superman, Lane is the only other actor officially signed on for a role. Kevin Costner is rumored to be playing her husband Jonathan Kent and word is that Snyder, Chris Nolan and WB want Viggo Mortenson for the villain(most likely Zod) but we haven't heard anything solid since those rumors hit.

There is no official confirmation who the villain/s are. I think the source article is basing that statement on all the speculation circling the world wide web. They are just repeating what other internet articles have notioned which in turn do not factually back-up their information.

Official:
Zach Snyder - Director
David S Goyer - Writer
Nolans - Producers
Henry Cavill - Superman/Clark Kent
Diane Lane - Martha Kent

@l0rdleg0las: I agree

And did Nolan not say himself that Zod was not going to be in this movie. Sure, he can change his mind about including Zod. But when it comes to Zod - been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt.

If Snyder, Goyer and Nolan are truly planning on differentiating this movie from the Donner franchise, why use Zod again? Using Zod as a villain will only draw comparisons to the version of Zod in Superman 2. It almost implies as if they are incapable of devising something new and creative, which of course we know is not true. But c'mon, Zod? Really?

I say Metallo.

With her playing Martha Kent that could push her up to GILF, which means Jane Seymour has some competition.

With her as Martha and Henri as superman so far so good ,and I like Costner as Jonathan ,he's right for that role

@Exiles: Exactly. I just think these articles are regurgitating all the speculation so far.

There are hordes of Superman villains to choose if you really wanted to do a fresh take on the series. We all complained about Lex Luthor AGAIN being the main antagonist in Superman Returns. Imagine if Zod really does out to be the main villain, again, ad nauseum.

We're overdue for a new casting announcement. They are two for two so far. If it's true Costner is Jonathan I'd bump that to three for three. I think it's cool that she likes Watchmen and 300. She seems excited and that certainly helps.

Okay the statement actually reads "like Lex Luthor and General Zod". It is the word "like" which I think is being used as generlized example of Superman villains rather than actually giving credibility to the actual villains involved.

Did y'all see Secretariat? That was the first time I saw her hotness could be toned way down and her age way up. I think that's the look they'll be going for.

But yeah, sans make up she's still pretty hot.

Viggo would make a great Zod! He, Rufus Sewell or Daniel Day-Lewis!



Thou i hope Brainiac is the main villain


Michael Fassbender or Billy Zane as Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor and General Zod...well at least Lex is def in the film. I had a feeling and hoped he would be. Just not Superman without an ALEXANDER JOSEPH LUTHOR!!!

Beyond HOT!!!

I'm hoping the "Lex Luthor and General Zod" mention is a mistake. We've seen both of these villains on film before. Especially Luthor! How many times can we see him not fight a real estate mogul?!?

I'm never really read any Superman comics but he has to have more than two enemies! It's the same as Magneto being the bad guy in every X-men film. It's really old.

Just have Diane Lane walk around in that little black number in one of the above pics and you'll have a great movie :)

Please, not Zod. The villians should be Braniac & Lex Luthor. @thegreek, thanks for the photos :)
