Ayelet Zurer replaces Julia Ormond in Man Of Steel

Ayelet Zurer

Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer is set to replace Julia Ormond in Man Of Steel, playing the role of Lara Lor-Van (aka Superman's mum).

No explanation has been given for the last-minute casting change but Zurer is expected to begin filming this week.

She has previously appeared in Dan Brown's religious potboiler Angels & Demons and also played Eric Bana's wife in Steven Spielberg's Munich.

This time she'll be cosying up to Russell Crowe, who plays her Kryptonian husband Jor-El.

While TF would love to crack a joke about how a quick change in a Superman movie usually takes place in a phone booth, we really don't want to dishonour Supes' dead relatives.

Even if we think Kal-El would probably handle the joke better than a certain orphaned billionaire we know.
