Anthony Hopkins says he's been offered the part of Superman's father in the new movie about the super hero.

The new film is being made by Brett Ratner, who has directed Hopkins in Red Dragon.

Hopkins told The Howard Stern Show he is expecting to get a copy of the script for the film this weekend and will be playing the part of Jor-El.

Stern asked if he could have a role in the film.
"You can play my sister with your long hair," Hopkins told him.

Work on the new Superman film is expected to begin next spring.
