Although Zach Snyder denied that General Zod would be appearing in the 2012 reboot of the Superman Franchise, turns out that wasn't quite the end of the story. Either he was trying to keep it a secret, or something changed his mind, because Michael Shannon has been cast to play the General.
Although, not terribly familiar to me, Michael Shannon has had recent success in the TV series Boardwalk Empire and apparently has been working like crazy, with 5 movies scheduled to be released in 2011 and 2 in 2012.
For those of you who are familiar with Michael Shannon, what kind of General Zod do you think he will play? Are you happy with the choice? Who would you have preferred to see in the role?
Jude Law would have been my first choice. Shannon seems like a good actor, maybe General Zod will be more prone to violence this time and talk less.
