Who's up for a probably totally fake but still kinda intriguing roundup of plot rumors? Well, OK then...
- Braniac destroys Krypton and may be set-up to be the villain in the sequel (if there is one).
- Zack Snyder would like Jon Hamm to portray Jor-El.
- Faora hates all men and is working with Zod and Jax-Ur to get out of the Phantom Zone.
- Jax-Ur was a close friend to Jor-El, who was exiled to the Phantom Zone, and is now working with Zod to free themselves (which they do).
- Zod's main goal is to make a new Krypton, using Earth, with him as leader. He plans to use Faora to start a new perfect Kryptonian bloodline and Jax-Ur to use his vast scientific knowledge to accelerate technology on Earth.
- Zod and Lex Luthor do have interactions. With LexCorp being the most advanced company on the planet, Zod plans to use LexCorp technology and advance it to Kryptonian levels, as it's the most "compatible."
- A key role in the film will be that of Gen. Samuel Lane, father of Lois Lane. Ed Harris and Jeff Bridges are being looked at for this role. Gen. Sam Lane is leading Earth's defense against Zod, Faora and Jax-Ur. He grows a hatred to all Aliens — including Superman.
- Lindsay Lohan is up for the role of Lana Lang. She isn't Clark's High School sweetheart, just a girl he likes. Lana isn't interested in him because she is one of the popular girls, while Clark is geeky character who can't really show what he is like — a "Superman." Lana does find out though when the school bus crashes and Clark saves the day — as she sees him.
If nothing else, casting Jon Hamm as Jor-El would be pretty fantastic...and I see that absurd Lindsay Lohan rumor just won't die. Anyway, this is just a selection - you can read the full roundup at the link. [Cosmic Book News]
