Forget about Ryan Gosling, Michael Shannon is possibly the greatest living actor working today. Those needing proof need only spend a weekend with Take Shelter, The Iceman, and the first two seasons of Boardwalk Empire. Today he finally gets the spotlight in a trailer for what is easily his biggest film to date, and call me crazy, but I think I am about to start rooting for the bad guy.
Man Of Steel has been gestating in post-production for over a year, but it is still weeks away from release here in the United States. Michael Shannon appears in the film not as Clark Kent, but instead as his latest nemesis, Zod. Little has been revealed about the mysterious bad guy thus far in the marketing campaign, but a new trailer released today gives us our first taste of his mighty power. You can view the trailer below.
The jury is still out over whether or not Man Of Steel will be the redeeming epic the beloved comic character needs, but I am 100% confident Michael Shannon will not let moviegoers down. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on the latest visuals.
