Would love it personally. Who better to follow Terence Stamp?

Re: The Man of Steel

Viggo sure is getting a lot of work for someone that retired.

Re: The Man of Steel

While this is some fine casting I dont want to see the 3 Phantom Zone Villains again.
Braniac or someone else who can go tot to toe with Kal El.

Word. Why not Brainiac or Darkseid? Brainiac would be easy to explain, because he(it) is Kryptonian in origin. Darkseid would be more difficult, but again, Superman is an alien, so aliens shouldn't be too hard to believe.

Zod. Again.

Alright (I guess).

Brainiac would good for the first movie. Darkseid would be a little hard for people to grasp. You could build up to his arrival in second movie or even in the third (all hopes that this franchise goes that far)

Viggo would make an interesting Zod, but that has been beat to death. No Superman doesn't have the most well known Rogues gallery but he does have some interesting ones.

Maybe they could use Metallo, he's a Kryptonite powered cyborg, that would be easy for the unwashed masses to grasp.

Like everyone here, I am tired of Zod, but Mortensen is definitely an interesting choice.

Re: The Man of Steel

I had no interest for Zod...

Until I heard about Viggo

Re: The Man of Steel

Ugh What the ____. I really hope this is just the media running rumors like they did with TDKR and that Snyder didn't actually go against his own word. Even though Viggo would be cool, I still don't want to see Zod in any capacity with this one.

Re: The Man of Steel

Viggo would be great as a villain. Love him.

Anybody think he may use one of the Sucker Punch ladies for Lois or Ursa (if she's in it?). I'm thinking Abbie Cornish has the best chance.

Re: The Man of Steel

Didn't Nolan or Snyder go on record saying they're not going with Zod? Seriously, if it's Zod, I'll be beyond pissed no matter who plays him. Almost as pissed as I would be if they went with Luthor.

 

[The Mike]

Re: The Man of Steel

Snyder went on record saying no Zod but who knows what is happening behind the scenes. I'm hoping that with Nolan and Goyer penning the script they'd use the Batman Begins scenario and choose a lesser known villain so the story focuses on the main character instead splitting time amongst a villain and hero.

Is the film set in modern day or sort of alternate era?

Fantastic casting. The first time ever I've wanted to ____ Martha Kent.

Diane Lane Joins 'Superman' as Martha Kent
10:30 PM 3/2/2011 by Borys Kit
The actress joins Henry Cavill in the Zack Snyder-directed movie from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
Diane Lane will play Martha Kent in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman movie.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures said late Wednesday that the actress is set as "the only mother Clark Kent has ever known."
"This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman," Snyder said in a statement. "We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination."
Lane will star with Henry Cavill, who was recently announced as the new Clark Kent/Superman.
As far as other roles, Kevin Costner is a "person of interest" for the part of Jonathan Kent, while Viggo Mortensen is on Snyder's radar to play General Zod.
There hasn’t been any official movement on those roles; Mortensen may even be flying away from the Superman orbit. The actor was in negotiations to star in Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, and after hitting a bumpy patch last week, looks to be nearing the final stretch of that particular dealmaking, which would see him filming later this year.
Lane earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in the 2002 drama Unfaithful. She most recently starred in the family hit Secretariat and next stars in the HBO feature Cinema Verite, opposite Tim Robbins and James Gandolfini.
The movie, set for a December 2012 releae, is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder.
The screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.

A December release?

Re: The Man of Steel

So they'll cover her in prosthetics to make her look old? She's still pretty hot.

Re: The Man of Steel

[Reinhardt]

Re: The Man of Steel

She was awesomely hot in Unfaithful.

Re: The Man of Steel

Diane Lane is hotter than 90% of the "hot" Hollywood actresses out there right now.
