This is not an official news, but ever since The Hollywood Reporter considered Viggo Mortensen to play Zod, seems like everyone has finally put an eye on him. The character Zod comes from the same planet as Superman, the Krypton, and made an appearance in 1980's "Superman II", played by Terence Stamp back then. Even so, Zack Snyder, director of the reboot, previously denied that Zod being the main villain was just a rumor, but many speculations said that he did so for a 'damage control'.
Mortensen famously portrayed Aragorn in the most successful epic-colossal movie "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and is reportedly set to play The Huntsman in upcoming "Snow White and the Huntsman". He also had a leading role in "History of Violence", and generally his movie career has been strong as ever.
Besides Mortensen, Kevin Costner was reportedly linked earlier to play Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of Clark Kent, and the studio had cast Alice Eve, Rosamund Pike, and Diane Kruger for a female lead in the movie — in which they described as 'not Lois Lane'. Many said that they were screened to play Ursa, Zod's right-hand woman, but Pike's representative said she wasn't linked to this project.
Well, this is the kind of news from a movie that is still in pre-production phase, everything is merely speculation. But it's so interesting to follow that I can't help myself to write about it! Check back for more updates of the "Superman" reboot!
