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)
