'Batman v Super: Dawn of Justice' News Update: Michael Shannon Opens Up About Doomsday
General Zod may not be Doomsday after all.
Michael Shannon clarified a statement he had previously said about General Zod having flippers. The actor told the Daily Beast that he made up something when he was asked about General Zod. He said, "Somebody was asking me about this in New York and I made up some ridiculous bull**** answer about how my character Zod has flippers, and this went viral on the internet or something and people have been asking me about that. That is so obviously a complete bulls--t story, right? But people took it seriously."
Shannon continued, "Maybe they should add it, I don't know! Maybe in Part 3 Doomsday will have flipper hands. I mean, look, nothing would make me happier than to work with [director] Zack [Snyder] again. He's hysterical and he's a lot of fun to work with."
Shannon also revealed that he was not on set for "Batman v Superman" and that he did not realized he was in the trailer. He said, "I wasn't there. It's a really awkward situation: I'm in the trailer for a movie that I didn't work on."
However, he told the Daily Beast that he did a voiceover for the film that will be included in the final product.
Shannon is currently promoting his upcoming film "99 Homes," which scored rave reviews and awards buzz last year at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. The film is scheduled for September and will received an awards campaign. Shannon is also known for his work on "Revolutionary Road," for which he was nominated at the Academy Awards, and has also worked on "Take Shelter," "Mud" and "Boardwalk Empire." He will also be seen this December in "Midnight Special."
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will hit theaters in March 2016.
