Michael Shand needed some help understanding how General Zod could appear in The Flash. He was killed in Man of Steel. But it can be a little daunting, as even Michael Shannon, who played General Zod in
Man of Steel a decade ago, is a bit confused as to how the superhero movie genre has evolved, wondering how he could possibly return for this year’s The Flash.Speaking with Looper, Michael Shannon said it took some time to understand how General Zod could even be part of another DC movie, considering he was killed off in
Man of Steel. “I was a little confused. I replied, “As far as my memory serves me, it seems that I died in Man Of Steel. They were sure they got the right man? But then they explained the multiverse phenomenon to me, which…I was a little behind on that.” Shannon admitted that he barely keeps up the pace with the genre. “I can’t claim that I’m a huge fan of this genre of movies-not that it’s against me. “I don’t think I’m going see a movie if I do. But I do love making them.”Shannon also spoke out about his time with Zack Snyder. I loved making Man Of Steel
10 and I loved working with Zack. It was a very important film. It was great to see the character again. I wasn’t there for very long. I was back in a few weeks.” Michael Shannon’s return to General Zod as General Zod will not be as dramatic as in Man Of Steel but he insists that he has worked hard. “I tried to get back in his skin. He’s a little more different in this film… You don’t get to spend as much time with his, so you don’t really get to know what he’s thinking. It’s not his movie. That’s the thing with these multiverse movies…”Michael Shannon (via Zod) won’t be the only Michael bringing back a popular DC character for The Flash, although it will undoubtedly be Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman that garners the most attention.
