Zack Snyder posts new photo of Michael Shannon’s Zod from Man of Steel
I just saw a cool behind-the-scenes photo from Man of Steel that the director shared! It really reminded me how amazing Michael Shannon was as General Zod. He posted it on social media, and it’s a great black-and-white shot of Shannon fully in character as Superman’s enemy. It’s awesome to see these little glimpses behind the scenes!
Zack Snyder shared an image on Instagram with the caption, ‘I will find him,’ and noted that Michael Shannon truly understood the character of Zod. The post immediately generated a lot of comments and reactions.
Fans are praising the casting, with one calling the villain the most menacing seen on screen in a DC film so far. Another fan declared it the best and most faithful comic book movie villain of all time.
Ever since the 2013 release of Man of Steel, Michael Shannon’s performance has been a frequent topic of discussion, especially the film’s ending. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Shannon spoke about the controversial scene where Superman kills Zod to save innocent people.
The actor from Nuremberg explained the choice was deliberate and key to the movie’s message. He described putting Superman in a position where saving people meant having to kill him, which, he said, caused a lot of controversy and debate.
After years of discussion about the project, Shannon reaffirmed his support for its creative direction. He shared, “I truly enjoyed collaborating with Zack and making this film. Some people assume I only took the role for the money or that it’s out of character for me, but I’m genuinely proud of the movie and believe it has a meaningful message.”
