You could spot Michael Shannon’s distinctive mug from forty paces, but when his back is turned it’s a little more difficult. The folks over at Worst Previews claim that they have a picture of the Oscar-nominated actor wearing a motion-capture suit for his performance as the villainous General Zod in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Yes, that is definitely someone wearing a mo-cap suit, but let’s not run away with speculation. Warner Bros. spent boatloads of cash giving Ryan Reynolds an all-CGI suit for Green Lantern but at least an argument could be made that a will-generated costume would need that kind of look. What does General Zod look like? Does his costume always require mo-cap effects? Is this even General Zod? It’s a guy on the set of Man of Steel wearing a mo-cap suit with his back turned to a camera. Don’t get carried away.
Hit the jump to check out the full image. The film also stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Julia Ormand, Harry Lennix, Christopher Meloni, and Russell Crowe. Man of Steel opens June 14, 2013.
Via Worst Previews.
Here’s the synopsis for Man of Steel:
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

Another non-story tricking people for clicks. Nice job, Goldberg. This site gets worse by the day.
dude how is this the sites fault? If they didnt show the pics you would be talking shit about that too.
At least they don’t embellish the title like other sites I checked out.
People like you kill me. Why even bother coming to this site if all you are going to do is talk shit?
And if you are going to talk shit do it in regards to the fricking article, dont find some random story to just post your bullshit in.
A new Superman. A new beginning. Times change. We need to change as well.
I hope Henry Cavill will be the greatest Superman of all time.
The fight scenes in Man of Steel should be like the amazing one between Clark and ‘Titan’ played by WWE superstar Kane in the Smallville episode ‘Combat’ and between Clark and Zod in the season 9 finale “Salvation” where Zod says “Every human, including the woman you love, will kneel before Zod!”
Of course it’s Michael Shannon, and Zach Snyder right in front of em.
Considering comic book Zod once looked like this:

I really wish the had gone with Brainiac as the villain for this movie.
