Man of Steel alternate ending would have removed the movie's most controversial moment
"It felt lik꧑e a cop out for the story we were telling"

While Superman has moved on in recent decades from the image of the boy scout-style slice of Americana, his more snap-happy approach to killing in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man of Steel certainly caused quite a stir upon its release.
David S. Goyer, who wrote the 2013 DCEU debut of Supes (played by Henry Cav﷽ill), has revealed that an alternate ending was planned – one wher꧙e Superman didn’t kill Michael Shannon’s Zod.
).“The idea was that Superman would – there was one of those sort of cryopods on the ship that ends up becoming the Fortress of Solitude that he&r🍎squo;s able to put Zod back into and then throw out into space,” Goyer said. “We did talk about it and maybe some people would’ve been happier with that, but it felt like a cop out for the story that we were telling.”
It’s not quite being yeeted into the Phantom Zone a la Superman II, but it’s certainly more in line with Truth, Justice, and the American Way than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder’s finished version.
To his and Goyer’s credit, though, they had a vision and saw it through, with Goyer also revealing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:there was scene in the script that explained in more detail why Superman’s decision to kill at the end of Man of💎 Ste💙el was a difficult one.
Superman, meanwhile, will ‘return’ in 2021’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League Snyder Cut, with a recent Justice-Con panel showcasing the first look at Kal-El in a b✱lack suit.
