According to theHollywood Reporter, the oft-rumored baddie for the comic book reboot is none other than General Zod, a fellow Kryptonian with superhuman powers and a passing desire to rule Earth. Mortensen is on the top of the list to play the supervillain, originally portrayed by Terence Stamp in Superman I and as the main antagonist in Superman II.
His“person of interest” status means no formal negotiations have begun, and may not ever start if Mortensen closes his deal to star in Universal’sSnow White and the Huntsmanopposite Charlize Theron and potentially Kristen Stewart.
Kevin Costner, who was mentionedlast weekas a possibility for Jonathan Kent (Superman’s adoptive father), is also merely being discussed at this point.
Snyder has been busy meeting with and considering potential cast members in February after signing British actorHenry Cavillfor the lead the month before. In addition to Zod and the Kents, there are three female roles to cast: Superman love interest and intrepid reporterLois Lane, General Zod groupieUrsa, and an unknown lady.
Mortensen is a commanding presence on screen, whether he’s playing an evil character or not, and would make a fine addition to a studio tentpole looking to re-establish a lucrative franchise. Cavill, Costner, and Mortensen working with Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan? When can we see it? Oh, right, December 2012.
