Michael Shannon Talks Superman at RiverRun 2011 

I love the way the interview asks him, "have you even *seen* the original Superman?", as though Michael Shannon has been under a rock for the last 50 years & has just now decided to crawl out, & is "frightened & confused" by the "tiny people in the magic box".

I almost felt sorry for him when he says "now, I have no people"

1 of the best actors around,,,,NO DOUBT

Michael Shannon's jawline deserves it's own zip code for sheer awesomeness.

First of all,you wanna know who the next deniro is or pacino,or hoffman.go watch SHOTGUN STORIES,TAKE SHELTER,REVELUTIONARY ROAD,THE ICEMAN.you rent those movies then you will see that this is an absolutely brilliant actor.he will win several academy awards.im telling you that now.hes amazing

Michael is the main reason why I'm interested in dis supaman thing.

can't wait to se him in superman

Great job as zod, great depth of character

This man is simply one of the greatest actors on earth, or Krypton, and I can't wait to see him give Superman a hard time!

he has the funniest interviews

this is going to be the greatest film ever

This guy is the definition of underrated. Maybe that's not the right word, underexposed? How he isn't seeing the same kind of explosive hype as other modern actors, I have no idea.

Anybody who has seen him in "Boardwalk Empire" or "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead" knows that if any actor can match Terence Stamp's terrific performance as General Zod then it is Shannon. I can't wait for "Man Of Steel" & Shannon is a big reason for that.

@PierreFilmsProd Oh my god!! thank you very much man!!!

love this guy, very menacing in BE

He is gonna be AMAZING as Zod, I can't wait for this movie!!! :D

The moment before him and Superman threw down was so heartbreaking and epic

Great actor. Nelson Van alden is a very complicated character and he did it perfect. im talking about "Bpardwalk Empire" ofcourse... great choice for zod. Christopher Nolan, Zack snyder, David s Goyer, Emma Thomas and Micheal shannon in one movie- that must be great.

LMFAO!!! I was absolutely dumbfounded watching how insanely different he really sounds with slack jawed amazement! Sounds like some little dude from Brooklyn.

Hope he is at Comic Con!

"I would find it perfectly adequate if you could go ahead and kneel before zod" - Jeremy Jahns imitation of Michael Shannon in his "Man of Steel trailer 2 review"

brilliant choice for Zod

Hes one of the best in a few years he WILL win awards. He was ripped off in BUG.

Exactly!

British superhero, American villain....breaking the formula = epic awesome film. OMZ G has been replaced.

Michael Shannon and Philip Seymour Hoffman are my favorite modern day actors. He sounds drunk though lol.

I WILL FIND HIM!!!

He's going to be the perfect Zod. I hope he has his own costume like Superman but purple or something, with a "Z" on it, he's going to be running around helping people like Superman, yet more evil and making people KNEEL BEFORE HIM. Then Superman has to come along and get enough balls to kick his ass and save the planet from Zod.

He should be the new Joker!

He's as a great actor and Im sure he will do a superb job as General Zod, I just wanted to see Doomsday on the big screen.

Why does he somehow channels the spirit of Christopher Walken?

Groundhog Day!

I believe a Bizarro would of been a good start for the reboot series but Zod is good i guess but like he was already a previous antagonist .

@careycoombs He said he felt like he was on Acid.

If Heath Ledger Can Act Very Well As The Joker Than Michael Shannon Can Do It As General Zod!

I have the second trailer for man of steel

Special Agent Van Alden in space.

Greg Buehle is going to be Zod, cool.

@qoaa I thought I was the only one that saw that, he has that same oafish slack jaw like him.

what did he say? after ....Pasadena, the Rose bowl, the birds and.... then what??? if someone could tell me Please!!!. And thanks so much!!!

So he went over to some guy's house in Pasadena and was asked to roll around on the floor with "Superman" while someone videotaped him? And there was heavy machinery nearby that no one could turn off? General Zod...show us on the doll where Superman touched you.

he looks more like Non, not Zod

I dont like the new superman, I will miss Brandon but for this guy I will se the new superman movie , we will see :) and Boardwalk Empire season premiere sunday september 25 :P

is he really wearing Uggs!!!!??

Damn... Zod BETTER NOT talk with that accent in the movie! I prefer the British-accent-Zod. Even so, I'm willing to see what Michael Shannon is made of. Let's see if he can match, or outclass, Terrence Stamp and Callum Blue.

he ..

LOL I think so.

To kal el, surrender within 24 hours or watch this world suffer.

is Zod going to kill superman with a hammer?

GENERAL ZOD!!!!!!!!!!

no rasalgul

you a little late

Eminem beat General Zod in 8 Mile. Lolzzz

is michael shannon wearing uggs omg
