Crowe’s tweet:

“15km bike ride,umpteen hours fighting Michael Shannon. He’s very hard to put down. Hard to tell who wins, we are still fighting tomorrow.”

“@alanthomasdoyle Stay around for the Saturday. That really is the only day I can guarantee you any time . I’m trying to save a planet here.”

“@alanthomasdoyle Alas, I’m no superhero.Just related to one.”

Based on those tweets, it sounds like Crowe’s Jor-El takes on Shannon’s General Zod on Krypton before its destruction, which causes a young Kal-El to be sent to the planet earth where he falls under the care of Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent. (Diane Lane)

The film is set to hit theaters on June 14th, 2013.
