Just a day after casting Pruitt Taylor Vince in the role of Jonathan Kent, the upcoming DCU film Superman has found its Ma Kent.
According to a report from TheWrap, the role of Martha Kent, aka Ma Kent, will go to Neva Howell. Jonathan and Martha Kent serve as the adopted parents of Superman after they find the Kryptonian baby after Superman’s ship lands in Kansas.
Howell most recently starred in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Haul, Logan Lucky, and 2021’s Ghosts of the Ozarks.
What is Superman about?
“Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
The DC Universe’s first phase, called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, will feature a multitude of different movies and television shows. A few of the announced projects include a Batman and Robin-focused movie called The Brave and the Bold, a Supergirl movie titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Swamp Thing film, and multiple TV shows.
