Michael Shannon preferred playing Zod in Man of Steel to The Flash
Michael Shannon returns in The Flash

Michael Shannon returns as General Zod in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Flash – but he first played the character in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man of Steel, which he seems to have preferr🀅ed as 💖an acting experience.
"I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't quite satisfying for me, as an actor," Sꦛhannon told . "These multiverse movies are like somebody playing with action figures. It's like, 'Here's this person. Here's that person. And they're fighting!' It's not quite the in-depth character study situation that I honestly felt Man of Steel was. Whether people thi🎃nk that's crazy or not, I don't even care."
But, that doesn't mean he has a negative opinion of The Flash overall. "I reall𝓡y felt like Man of Steel was actually a pretty sophisticated story," he continued. "I feel like The Flash is too, but it's not Zod's story. I'm ༺basically there to present a challenge."
Zod isn't the only character back via multiversal means. Michael Keaton's Batman also returns for the first time since T✃im Burton's movies, while the film introduces Sasha Calle's Supergirl. Ezra Miller, meanwhile, plays two different versions of Barry Allen, and Ben Affleck's Batman is also part of the cast.&ꦦnbsp;
"I talked to Zack," director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Andy Muschietti told us 𝐆in a re🌄cent interview. "But it wasn't technical or narrative or anything. I just wanted to reach out and say, 'Hey.' Because we haven't me♉t before, and I just wanted to tell him that we would be respectful to the stuff that he did before."
He added of Snyder's movie: "Man of Steel obviously is foundational to this movie because the big threat of Zod coming to Earth is a big twist in this story, and 🐽it's something that most DC fans know very🃏 well. And that's one of the great things that can form the narrative of this movie."
The Flash is in theaters this June 14 in the UK and June 16 in the US.
