In a recent interview with IFC.com at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, actor Michael Shannon briefly talked about his role as General Zod in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, "Man of Steel." Here's an excerpt:
“He’s actually not a very scary guy,” Shannon said. “He’s just trying to do his job, just like anybody.”
That almost makes Zod seem like he’d be a little relatable. And apparently he is, at least to Shannon. He just isn’t sure if other people will be able to make the same connection with Zod that he did.
“I don’t know, you know? I don’t want to say,” Shannon hedged. “Some people might hate him, some people might love him. But I’m fond of him. I respect him.”
Alongside Shannon, "Man of Steel" also stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Ayelet Zurer as Lara Lor-Van, Kevin Costner as Jonathon 'Pa' Kent, Diane Lane as Martha 'Ma' Kent, Antje Traue as Faora, Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Richard Schiff as Dr. Emil Hamilton, Cooper Timberline as Clark Kent (Age 9), Dylan Sprayberry as Clark Kent (Age 13), Jadin Gould as Lana Lang (age 13) and Robert Gerdisch as Whitney Fordham (age 14).
Superman is scheduled to make his return to the silver screen on Friday, June 14, 2013.
