It appears that Superman’s birth father is returning to our screens. The upcoming CW show Superman and Lois has cast Scottish actor Angus Macfadyen in the role of Jor-El.

The character is said to make his first appearance in episode two of the series once it debuts on February 23. The official description of this version of Jor-El can be read below:
Jor-El is Clark Kent’s Kryptonian father. Though he died along with Krypton, his brilliant essence still exists within the arctic Fortress of Solitude to provide guidance when his son seeks help.
