"We’re going back to square one. I guess you could call it a reboot,", Michael Shannon revealed in a recent interview with Movie Fanatic. "I’m excited to be doing that with Zack Snyder who did such a wonderful job with the Watchman and 300." As we already know, he'll be playing General Zod in the highly anticipated movie, and when asked whether he found it fun to play the iconic villain, he replied: "I do, although I feel a lot of responsibility."

"It’s a big movie. I’ve just started working on it, so I’m not quite into the swing of it yet. I’m trying to wrap my head around it," he added when quizzed about his experience working on Man of Steel so far. "There are a lot of different elements that I’ve never experienced -- like the CGI. You always hear about actors when they run into that for the first time are a little thrown by it. I’m looking to getting a little more comfortable and getting into a rhythm and then I think I’ll start having some real fun with it."
