Famous Superman antagonist, General Zod had the features of Michael Shannon in Man of Steel. And it looks like the actor will be back in another DC movie soon: The Flash.
Warner Bros. Studios have they just confirmed the presence of General Zod in Andy Muschietti’s The Flash? The name of Michael Shannon appears in any case in the list of actors of the film centered on Barry Allen on the UK studio website.
His name rubs shoulders with those of other comedians already confirmed: Ezra Miller, of course, but also Ron Livingston, hired to take over the role of the father of the hero played by Billy Crudup in Justice League, Michael Keaton, who will make his comeback in the skin of Batman for the occasion, or Kiersey Clemons, the interpreter of Iris West.
Sasha Calle, chosen earlier in the year to lend her features to Supergirl, is also on this list, unlike Ben Affleck who has already mentioned his participation in the film, once again in the costume of Bruce Wayne.
The presence of Michael Shannon in this list therefore suggests that the actor, seen this year in the mini-series Nine Perfect Strangers, will resume the role of General Zod he held in Man of Steel, even though the character perished. at the end of the feature film. His remains were then used by Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to create the monstrous Doomsday.
