April 16, 2015: Russell Crowe on Wanting to Return to Play Jor-El

Russell Crowe as Jor-El In an interview with MTV to promote his film "The Water Diviner" (which is also his directorial debut), Russell Crowe talks briefly about his thoughts on returning to play Jor-El at some point in the future.

    "What sparked my interest once I saw how Zack [Snyder] was creating Krypton. I'd like to see what made Jor-El, Jor-El." Crowe said. "What made him and Zod, who are folklorically friends, what split them apart."

    A Jor-El origin story set in Krypton? Sign. Us. Up. The decision not to bring Jor-El into the storyline for "Batman v Superman" makes sense, as his A.I. consciousness was destroyed by General Zod in "Man Of Steel" - and the film will undoubtedly spend a lot of time setting up the tension between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent... But we wouldn't mind seeing Jor-El return in flashbacks, or as Crowe suggested, his own prequel film.
