May 1, 2013: More Praise for "Man of Steel" From Michael Shannon

General Zod In New York to promote his new film "The Iceman", Michael Shannon told the Sun Times how he feels about "Man of Steel", what it was like playing General Zod, and draws a comparison between his version and that played by Terence Stamp.

    Q. Tell us more about General Zod. Do you wear the funky leather outfit?

    A. I think the word is "negligee" when it comes to my outfit. It's blousy. Just kidding. It's actually pretty tight. It's a real turn-on. Everyone will want to go back home and buy one. ... The truth is [the movie's] great. I saw it last week and it blew my mind. It was a screening just for me, and I sat there tickling myself with glee.

    Q. Is your Zod different from what Terrence Stamp did with his Zod in "Superman II"?

    A. I love what Terrence did. He was the malevolent source of rage. Our director Zack [Snyder] asked me to make Zod less like a villain and more like a general. He's trying to protect the place where he rules. There are a lot of generals on Earth who are responsible for the killing of a great number of people. They're trying to preserve something. So, he's not bloodthirsty, raging Zod.
