Diane Lane is Superman’s Martha Kent

Diane Lane has been cast as Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of Clark Kent, in Zack Snyder’s Superman. The Unfaithful actress is the first name to sign on to Snyder’s new Man of Steel movie, after Henry Cavill was confirmed as Supes himself. For Snyder, the role was vital to get right. He said this in a statement:
 
“This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.”
