If you’ve seen Man of Steel, then you’ll know this was pretty much a given anyway, but Russell Crowe has now officially ruled out a return as Kal-El’s Kryptonian father Jor-El in Zack Snyder’s forthcoming sequel Batman vs. Superman, with the Noah star telling Yahoo! Movies that:
“I don’t think they’re going to use me again. I think they’re jumping onto a different stream. You know, they’re going with the different superhero worlds colliding [this time].”
Batman vs. Superman is set for release on May 6th 2016 with a cast that includes Henry Cavill (Clark Kent / Superman), Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne / Batman), Gal Gadot (Diana Prince / Wonder Woman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White) and Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth).
