ust a few days ago word got out that Viggo Mortensen is the front runner to star in Warner Bros.’ reboot, Superman: Man of Steel, as the villainous General Zod, despite director Zack Snyder’s previous claims. To be fair to Snyder though, that may well have been the case last November.
The West Hollywood Resnorter mentioned that it heard Warner Bros. is considering Lewis for “an unspecified role in this film.” Given Lewis’ pedigree as an actor – and assuming this RUMOR has any truth to it – the part of Zod seems like the obvious choice
And it is tricky, given that both acttors have signed on to ther films and a window might be tough to work out…unless Zod is more of a cameo, saved for the next flick. But I don’t think fans would like that too much. WB/DC just might have made a case for Zod and Zod had to be worked in. Or maybe this is all ado about nothing.
Should Supey kneel before Zod? And would you like Lewis or Mortensen? (I pick Mortensen myself If it were me)
Both of them are great actors… but how could anyone not think Daniel Day Lewis would be the top choice? The guy rocks. That would bring so much freaking excitement to that movie, and he’d be so good in it, that I’d *finally* be interested in it if it were to happen.
I would still like to see Jude Law play Zod.
Either Viggo or Lewis would be great in the role. Lewis just slightly edges out Viggo for me.
Jonathan Rhys Myers for Zod and team up with his old colleague from Tudors.
Daniel Day Lewis is far more effective at playing the evil part, but viggo is a very talented actor. The ideal would of course be lewis, but viggo is a great choice as well.
both Viggo & DDL are very good choice. Each one of them can add much gravitas with their screen presence.
I think Day-Lewis would be ideal for Zod. That is one majorly pissed off character and I can see elements of Plainview and Bil The Butcher making it’s way into that character and rightfully so. Terrance Stamp should still make a cameo though. One of my favorite british actors, he’s so good in Superman 2 and The Hit.
Viggo for me, not a huge fan of Daniel-Day myself.
Hector Elizondo should be Zod, I always thought he resembled the Zod from part 2 ( short and latino version anyways)
