November 18, 2012: Michael Shannon Talks "Man of Steel"

Michael Shannon While there's nothing really new or earth-shattering in what he says, Michael Shannon did speak to the Chicago Tribune about working on "Man of Steel", discussing his time shooting at Union Station and the secrecy surrounding his costume.

    "One of the wildest things for me about doing 'Man of Steel' was shooting at Union Station," Shannon said. "I've been to Union Station a lot, mostly when I'm taking the train somewhere. We were in the same room where they shot that amazing sequence in 'The Untouchables.' I would look over at the staircase and see the baby carriage coming down the stairs."

    Because of the secrecy surrounding "Man of Steel," some of the film's stars were asked to cover up their costumes when walking to and from the set so that no photos would leak online. Shannon said the extra measures were successful - for the most part.

    "They had us wear these big plastic parkas to cover up our uniforms," Shannon said. "It's interesting because I've run into people who have pictures they want me to sign from 'Man of Steel.' And they have images that look nothing like what I'm going to look like in the movie. I don't even know where they came from. I guess we were pretty successful, but I did see one picture of me wearing the costume leak on the Internet."
