One of James Gunn's original Guardians of the Galaxy buddies plays the important role of Jor-El, the Man of Steel's father, in Superman.

James Gunn is bringing some familiar faces from his Guardians of the Galaxy squad into upcoming DCU films, or at least one of them, and now we know exactly who Bradley Cooper is playing in the David Corenswet's Superman movie. The Marvel alum is set to take on a legendary role, one that extends beyond voice work and into holographic territory.

"Superman" releases in theaters on July 11. Tickets are on sale now. The film is written and directed by James Gunn. "Superman" stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.
