As you know,
Micheal Shannon has appeared in
Man of Steel, and he breifly appeared in
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In a way, he was the villain in both of the Snyder-directed films. Speaking of
Zack Synder, many fans and some critics are blaming him for
Batman v Superman's failure. Even so, the cast continues to speak out, and defend Snyder and the work he's done. Recently while speaking with
Independent.co.uk, Micheal Shannon was the latest actor to defend Snyder's films.
"I have a ton of respect for Zack Snyder. I loved working with him on Man of Steel. I think his films have their own unique style and he’s very authentically drawn to that." The 41-year old actor said.
"It’s not like he makes these movies but secretly wishes he was doing something else. It's what he wants to do. It’s valid." Many said that Snyder took a full comic-book approach to
Batman v Superman that a comic book fan would enjoy. However, a normal moviegoer would probably label the film as "crammed", "muddled and boring", and "a self indulgent bore of a movie".
Later in the interview, Micheal Shannon reflected on
Man of Steel, and revealed that he really loved the film's story.
"When we were making Man of Steel, I really appreciated the story: it’s about a civilization that destroys their own planet. I’m like 'well, that’s relevant.' So what, the planet’s called krypton? It’s still relevant." What do you think is the reason behind
Batman v Superman's downfall? Is Zack Synder really to blame? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
