February 25, 2011: Viggo Mortensen Could Be New Movie Villain

Viggo Mortensen HollywoodReporter.com claim that Viggo Mortensen is Zack Snyder's top choice for the main villain role in the up-coming new Superman movie, with the role thought to be that of General Zod.

    Sources say no talks have commenced and that Mortensen is just a "person of interest," much like Kevin Costner is for the role of Jonathan Kent. The actors aren't the only ones considered for their respective roles, though they are the ones most seriously talked about.

    Snyder is in the midst of meeting actors for not only the role of Zod and Kent, but the three female parts as well. Given the Nolan pedigree with the Batman films and the tenpole nature of a Superman film, the roles are considered some of the hottest and most-desired in town.

Mortensen is currently in negotiations for Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, but no deal has been done as yet.
