Marlon Brando reputedly suggested that his cameo role as Jor-El be done by him in voice-over only, with the character's image on-screen being a glowing, levitating green bagel. When Richard Donner met Brando, the actor proposed that he played Jor-El not as a green suitcase, but as a "bagel." Brando reasoned that no one knows what the people on Krypton look like, but that Jor-El would know what people on Earth look like, and would therefore make his son look human, so he could blend in. Tom Mankiewicz even recalled that, at one point, Brando pitched the idea that maybe Kryptonians do not even talk. They simply make electronic sounds that are translated through subtitles. Donner refused these suggestions; they turned out to be a ruse, that Brando used to test Richard.
