RUMOR: Daniel Day-Lewis Being Looked At For Superman's Father Jor-El?

In the same article from LatinoReview they claim the rumored involvement of Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) was not for a villainous role. Instead it was for the iconic role of Jor-El (Superman's father) famously played by Marlon Brando in the original films. They also say that Krypton will be shown along with Superman's biological mother and father. I expect if Jor-El makes the film it would be a cameo and I'd like to think they would quickly move through any origin scenes. As we've been subjected to enough of the origin of Superman and it's unnecessary to re-track the story.
