Director Zack Snyder stated, "Zod is not only one of Superman's most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don't. Viggo Mortensen and Daniel Day-Lewis were also considered for the role. Īmerican actor Michael Shannon was cast as Zod for Man of Steel, a reboot of the Superman film franchise that would eventually become the first entry into the DC Extended Universe. Shannon's portrayal of Zod has received positive reviews, and has been considered one of the greatest and most memorable villains in the DCEU. Zod is punished for his war crimes, with him and his subordinates intended to be sent to the Phantom Zone, but following Krypton's destruction, he and his followers escape and follow Kal-El to Earth, forcing him to become Superman and protect the planet and its inhabitants. Zod first appears in the film Man of Steel as rogue general trying to lead a coup against the ruling elite of the planet Krypton, forcing the planet's chief scientist, Jor-El, to send his son Kal-El to Earth. General Dru-Zod is a fictional character in the DC Extended Universe based on the DC Comics supervillain of the same name.
But a complex and tragic one.Genius intellect, skilled martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant, invulnerability, superhuman strength, speed, sight, and hearing, frost breath, heat vision, X-ray vision, and flight Him attacking him in smallville was really the only moment of weakness from Clark. Any of the villainous things Clark did were ultimately forced by Zod. That's why Clark ends up again having no choice but to kill him. He goes hell for leather to destroy everyone and everything. But that's a choice Zod forced him to make.Īnd in the end he shows his true colours when the crutch of purpose is taken away from him.

He destroyed it to save earth even though he knew full well what that meant for Krypton. Clark didn't destroy the ship out of hatred for Zod. Maybe if he'd talked to Clark things would have been different but people don't talk things out when they are under stress. People always say it's a plothole that Zod didn't find somewhere else to Terra form but the whole point was that he wanted to destroy earth because of his hatred for Jor El. Tragedy but manifest as cruelty rather than hope.įrom Zod's point of view Clark's most villainous act was destroying the scout ship and the genesis chamber. But in the next sentence he expresses regret over it. He also seems to relish telling Clark that he killed his father. That said there are times when his actions stray from the pragmatic towards the cruel. But what's great in Shannon's performance is how it comes across that he knows this but still proceeds out of a sense of duty. So his motivations are very much rooted in honour rather than megalomania.īut although his motivations are honourable very often his methods are not. The house of El destroyed everything that he was created to protect. Clark being both the heretic child and the stolen codex makes him a pretty strong embodiment of Jor El's betrayal. Jor El broke the law by conceiving a child and stealing the codex. He's certainly the hero of his own story that's for certain. Man Of Steel Answers Insight Commentary.
