January 19, 2012: Michael Shannon Baffled by Superman Fan Culture

Michael Shannon Michael Shannon, who is playing Zod in the up-coming "Man of Steel" movie, told the LA Times that he's been getting himself into a "tremendous amount of trouble" with the film's producers for revealing too much about the movie when talking to people...

    "I got signaled that less is more," Shannon said. "It's kind of curious. It is Superman. So I think everybody kind of knows what happens, you know? Nothing's going to be a huge shock."

    That said, Shannon understands. Sort of. "Man of Steel" marks his first foray into Comic-Con culture, a realm, he admits, that completely baffles him.

    "There are legions of fans salivating, who will literally spend the next year and a half looking at the clock, waiting for this movie," Shannon said, shrugging his shoulders. "That's just the way it is. I don't know why. Me, personally, I'm not a huge fan. I can't even read comic books. I don't know which panel to look at next. I hardly ever know what any of the characters are talking about. So, no, I am not one of them. But there are a lot of them. They're out there. And they really want to talk to me about this movie!"
