Zack Snyder Releases New Photo of Michael Shannon’s Zod in Man of Steel

The Justice League director has shared a new behind-the-scenes image from Man of Steel, once again drawing attention to Michael Shannon’s portrayal of General Zod. He posted the black and white image on social media, highlighting the actor’s character as Superman’s adversary.

Along with the image, Zack Snyder wrote on Instagram: “‘I will find him.’ Michael Shannon understood Zod to the bone. This quickly sparked a wave of reactions in the comments section.

One user wrote: “Great casting. Most menacing DC villain on screen yet.” Another added: “The best and most comical CBM villain of all time, in my opinion.” »

Michael Shannon’s performance in Man of Steel has remained a topic of discussion since the film’s release in 2013, particularly due to the film’s controversial climax. In a November interview with Vanity Fair, the actor discussed the widely debated moment in which Superman kills Zod to prevent further civilian casualties.

The Nuremberg star explained that this decision was intentional and central to the film’s themes. He said: “I put him in a situation where if he [Superman] wants to save these people, he has to kill me, and he does, and that obviously led to a lot of disruption, or whatever you say.

Despite years of debate, Shannon has made it clear that he stands by the creative choice of the project. “I really loved working with Zack and I really loved making this movie. I think a lot of people say, ‘Oh, you know, that’s not what he usually does. He’s just going for the big payday or something.’ But I am proud of this film. I think it’s actually about something,” he said.
