“A lot of times, Jor-El is played by a 70-year-old man and that means he was 70 when he had a baby, so I wanted somebody that wasn’t too old,” Gunn explained.

It's official -- James Gunn's new Superman movie is officially a blockbuster hit, earning $125 million in the US during its first weekend.

“Superman” will loom large again at the box office as two major newcomers, a “Smurfs” musical and the latest “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” open in theaters.
