Adding to the recent casting announcement of Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent comes another scoop from TheWrap that Clark’s adoptive mother Martha Kent will be played by Neva Howell in James Gunn’s Superman.
Howell’s previous credits include playing a “Farmer Lady” in a Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, which should prepare her well for playing the agricultural matriarch. Other credits for Mrs. Howell include an extensive role on Beckinfield.
The new Superman film from director James Gunn is due to be released in theaters July 11, 2025; the film will star David Corenswet as Clark/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The movie is currently filming as we speak.
