The Greatest Hills star remarked, “I have not seen Bradley’s performance yet, so I wanna meet him.”

In the same interview with ET, director James Gunn explained why he chose Bradley to play a father cameo in a Superman movie.

James told ET, “Bradley is a friend of mine and I needed somebody who had the stature of what we imagine that character being somebody who could walk in the footsteps of Marlon Brando.”

The movie-maker pointed out that Bradley and Angela, who plays Lara, “they had to sit in the big booth with all these cameras as we created a real hologram and they came in and nailed it”.

Meanwhile, Superman is out in theatres now.
