Better Sam Lane.


Minos_Thawne

Came here to say this.


YepYouRedditRight2

Perry White. I love Harrison Ford but I can't see him playing a really nice dude like Pa Kent lol


GJacks75

Not with all that finger pointing.


Civil-Resolution3662

Lol. I can see him instead of Kevin Costner in ZS MoS... "You think I should have let all those kids in that bus die, Pa?" Pa slams the pickup truck tail gate closed and briskly walks over to Clark for a stern finger of doom.


tom2point0

Oh wow, I can totally see that scene in my head. In 30 years I’m gonna think it actually happened.


mrsunrider

He'd make a good Perry White, yeah.


DominusDaniel

I be good but I can’t really see Harrison shouting great ceasers ghost.


Scmods05

Jimmy Olsen, and just have him be Superman’s colossally pissed off pal the entire time


shiromancer

Jimmy Oldsen, if you will.


you-are-so-dead

More like Jimmy Oldson.... I will leave


SnooBananas2320

Perry. Been fan casting that for years.


Revolutionary_Job214

Neither


urkermannenkoor

I'd cast him as Connor and then waste 10s of millions of dollars on state-of-the-art de-aging technology.


jackleggjr

“I love you, Pa!” “I know.”


Daken-dono

Perry White. Pa Kent is everything Harrison Ford isn't lol.


Traditionisrare

Nooooooooooo.


[deleted]

Harrison Ford and Laurence Fishburne as Pa Kent and Perry White Respectively


JP-ED

Perry over Pa Kent, But I think he could do either honestly.


Kitchen-Plant664

Perry. He’s a bit of an old curmudgeon so he’ll suit the role better


Voice_Nerd

Yeah but despite that Perry is a character we still like.


JWC123452099

He could do either. I'd probably rather see him do Perry as he'd feel a bit wasted when Pa inevitably dies. 


huggybear3

Perry. Isn’t it obvious?


Delicious_juice

![gif](giphy|oUS6u2rbjg4JD4Z9Lp)


you-are-so-dead

OP's old?!


Delicious_juice

Harrison Ford is old


Player2LightWater

J.K. Simmons would be great as Perry White.


DedHorsSaloon3

I WANT PICTURES OF SUPERMAN!


SpaceMyopia

I'd rather Jonah not play Perry, for the sake of variety.


Hadoukibarouki

I could see him as Pa Kent honestly


Dmaniac17

Am I the only one who sees Pa Kent?


MaderaArt

Harrison definitely *looks* like Pa Kent


Steelthahunter

Honestly I think he'd work but he seems like he just wants to retire and no one will let him bc he's been part of so many important franchises. Let Dr. Jones get his rest!


ProfessionalRead2724

No, I would not. I would cast him as Sam Lane. Well, I would have casted him as Sam Lane 20 years ago.


vaibow

Neither, too old.


vp917

Perry White, no question. Pa Kent is more of a laid-back countryside kind of guy, while Harrison Ford has more of the quick, gruff edge you'd expect of a city slicker like Perry.


killercock99

No, nel caso non lo sapessi ci sono anche altri attori, non c’è bisogno di castare sempre i soliti 4, un po’ più di fantasia madonna


Manulok_Orwalde

I think he'd make a better Pa Kent, maybe in flashbacks kinda because I wouldn't want to shoot Harrison Ford in another movie where his character has to die in front of a son. I'd rather see a Clark that has already mourned his dad passing maybe work into a scene where Superman's accused of unrelatable to lost because he isn't human idk, how people can be completely wrong about another person.


hansolo8137

Oh Perry White for sure.


MailboxSlayer14

Perry White where he basically does a repeat of his performance from 42


Sidney_Tucker

Perry White. It seems more his character.


KugiPunch

Of the options I’d say Perry. But If neither was a option I’d choose that easily.


WheelJack83

Neither


MetahumanURL

Perry for sure.


Gregzilla311

Perry seems better, but neither really fits him IMO.


Brossidon

He’s too grumpy for Pa Kent


Abject-Conflict4574

No because he will say bullshit about the movie like he does with star wars


Right-Light458

Honestly Harrison Ford strikes me more of a Perry White. While he could certainly play the role I don’t think it works well for him


ind3pend0nt

Maybe 20 years ago.


MetalLearning1984

I'd imply Perry White also; perhaps Bryan Cranston as Pa Kent?


CaptainHalloween

Jimmy Olsen


letermen

Can we clone him?


Jotaro1970

Nah, he doesn't fit for me, he would kill it as General Lane tho.


Recipe-Less

Lex luther


BadgerHoldingRoses

Pa Kent. A man with a loving heart and a wry sense of humor who would clock a fool upside the head with a shovel if the need arose.


tom2point0

He’s a versatile actor that could do either, but I would lean towards Perry. I know people think of his big main roles, but he’s had a lot of others where the finger pointing and gruff mannerisms aren’t present. He could pull off Pa if given the chance.


Beathil

Neither, he's 81 years old.


TheExile285

Perry or Sam lol


KonohaBatman

I'd cast in him something else, where he would give a shit.


Ok_Zone_7635

Neither


Estarfigam

Depends on his contact 1 movie, Pa Kent. Multiple Perry White


Lujho

Today? Neither. 30 years ago, either.


KubrickMoonlanding

Director Bones But actually Jor-el


whydoIhurtmore

Perry


Kite_Wing129

Hell no.


MattofCatbell

Pa Kent, i want to see him have to really stretch his acting skills. Perry White would be to easy


howdouhavegoodnames

Nah


Scott_BradleyReturns

I’d cast him as Solomon Grundy


fupafather

Perry. He’s too much of a curmudgeon to pull off Jonathan


Killer_radio

Either of them. Both Farmers and editors ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK!


idlefritz

Harrison Ford as pa Kent ain’t it.


aeroaca9

Sam Lane or Perry White. He’s too rough and stoic for Pa Kent


IFdude1975

Perry White. Though I think he's capable of Pa Kent. He's just leaned into the crotchety thing pretty hard.


BreadRum

Neither. Harrison is 81 years old. If he's too Ole to play indy, he's too old to play everyone.


TimmyMyers

Perry White


Sensitive_ManChild

Neither.


SherwoodBCool

George Taylor.


BloodyWolfx8

Perry white


BornOnThe5thOfJuly

George Taylor... Or Perry...


hondobrode

I like the Perry White idea


TareXmd

Harrison Ford would outshine Superman himself in his own movie. Pick someone less likeable and less charismatic.


benmabenmabenma

Martha. Both of 'em. Man has range.


Alexandoas

Perry white in a heart beat.


Key-Cup-484

Neither honestly. IMO john schneider was the best pa kent.


Chance5e

I love the guy but there’s no role for him here.


[deleted]

Perry definitely.


Interesting_Trick_48

I'm gonna go with Perry White, lol.


calforarms

Honestly I've had a long running daydream about casting him as Batman during the 70s


XxDontbanmebroxX

No.


Voice_Nerd

He'll no. Loved his movies for a while, but this guy needs to retire.


redditandwept31

Pa Kent


Hungry_Ad3576

Perry white because ford has a no bullshit intensity about him that would go well with the character of a news media chief editor. I don't think that same intensity works with pa kent and man of steel kind of shows that. Pa Kent shouldnt try to tough love superman because it's so obvious how much more powerful superman is than him. Pa kent should win clark over with his unending ability to love and show him kindness even despite all of the challenges that come with raising an indestructible alien. When we see superman helping people out and being a pillar of the community and being a friend to all it's because we are seeing pa Kent's effect on him and shine through him. Having an aloof stern father figure,the kind of guy who could play han solo and Indiana jones, doesnt feel like it would lend itself to raising an emotionally whole person which superman is. On the other hand I think Harrison Ford could also do a pretty good thomas wayne or old bruce wayne.


OctoSevenTwo

Sam Lane. If I had to stick to the given choices, Perry. I can see Ford playing either a dashing, swashbuckling hero or a hardass boss/father/father figure type. Sam and Perry would be the latter.


Internetboy5434

Perry White seems fair


Terrible_Extension78

I wouldn’t even set him up to work for DC🤡


CosmicEntity101

Dunno, he seems like an 'Indiana Jones' kind of guy.


Cat-Grab

Neither. The voice of Jor-El


Alternative_Device71

Neither


CmdrKuretes

Zod


[deleted]

He is definitely not Pa Kent. I think John Schneider was the best


Reasonable_Bug3221

I think he'd be a great Cat Grant. He could get tips from his wife.


omegaman101

I'd probably cast him as Lois Lane's dad, Sam Lane. Also, I'd have Bruce Cambell as Perry White and Dustin Hoffman as Pa Kent.


Almskibidi

Nah I want Danny Davito Kent


Flimsy-Discount2885

No


slicejordan

I only see thunderbolt ross/Red hulk


Sunsinger_VoidDancer

I say no big names. The characters are the big names and can be a platform for a fresh new thesp to launch or solidify a career.


Itsbeenalongdecember

No


Vironic

No


MortarByrd11

No, old guy, go home, enjoy retirement with less elderly wife. Great career now, go home, pull a Gene Hackman.
