Zod Cast. KNEEL!

"KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"
The famous words General Zod demands all opponents and enemies, including Superman do. And the new Superman film is set to once again bring that to the screen in a new light. 'Man of Steel' has officially cast Michael Shannon as the villain of the movie, but it will be very interesting to see how this version is played out.

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing a new interpretation of the two characters as Zod is arguably one of the more popular Superman villains who can actually go one on one with him and even defeat the superhero. Shannon doesn't look like a 'General Zod', and while the circling rumors Viggo Mortensen would be cast, it looked like Mortenson would of been the perfect fit. But with the official casting, Shannon could either create a whole new Zod we have not seen yet, or may surprise people and bring a menacing and evil persona we have all come to know.

The Richard Donner movies, for its time was cutting edge. And are most certainly memorable to all Superman fans. But in todays generation of film, we all look for the spectacular and with the promise that this updated Superman will be more of a fighting character, I, as many others would hope to see some epic fight scenes that should redefine Superman and finally distance himself from the 'Donner-verse' which Superman Returns was unable to do.
