"I just said, 'Hey, will you do me a favour? Come down, go to England, we're going to shoot you in a 3D environment, make a hologram of you, and you can play Jor-El.'" recalled the director. "He was like, 'Okay.'"
At the moment, Cooper is just making a little cameo appearance, but Jor-El could potentially turn up in future films with a meatier role as Gunn teased: "You never know. It's possible."
