The film also utilizes archived footage of Marlon Brando as Kal-El (as the actor died two years before the film's release). Kate Bosworth replaces Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. Clark Kent/Superman is now played by Brandon Routh, who replaces the late Christopher Reeves (whom passed away before this film) and Kevin Spacey takes over the role of Lex Luthor from Gene Hackman. As most of the cast from the original two films are either old or passed away, most of the roles have been recast. The film's story erases the third and fourth film from continuity, being set five years after Superman II. The man of steel returns to protecting Metropolis and tries to adjust to how the world changed, as Lex manages to break into Fortress of Solitude and steal Kryptonian crystals for use in a new sinister plan. Because of this, Lex Luthor is released from prison due to him not appearing in court to testify against him, and Lois Lane has a kid. Made 19 years after the box office bomb that is Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, the film sees Superman return to Earth after being gone for five years due to hearing about a discovery of Krypton's remains.
