James Gunn Teases Ma And Pa Kent As “The Parents Whose Moral Compass Shapes Our Hero’s Journey”

Following the release of the Superman trailer, director James Gunn shared a sweet tribute to Clark Kent/Superman’s parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent. Played by Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell, the Kents are Clark’s adoptive parents who raise him after the young Kryptonian crash lands on Earth, instilling strong morals in the future hero. Superman will star David Corenswet as the lead character, as well as Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Isabella Merced, Sara Sampaio, and Anthony Carrigan.

Gunn’s post includes a snapshot of himself alongside Vince and Howell on what appears to be the set for the Kent farmhouse. The director captioned the photo: “In the excitement of this week’s announcements, it’s fitting to celebrate the anniversary of Ma [and] Pa Kent. I can’t wait for you to see Pruitt Taylor Vince [and] Neva Howell as the parents whose moral compass shapes our hero’s journey.“
