Smallville has found their General Zod.
The Tudors's Callum Blue will play the famous Superman villain, who is known to mainstream audiences thanks to Terence Stamp's iconic portrayal of the character in Superman II.
While previous seasons had Zod as an off screen presence or manipulating others, this will mark the true introduction of the character. Expect Zod to be a major part of Season 9, as Blue will be a series regular. Blue's casting puts to rests rumors and speculation that Sam Witwer, who played Davis Bloome / Doomsday last season, would be playing Zod.
His casting follows Brian Austin Green's new role as Superman villain Metallo, who will appear in at least the first two episodes of Season 9.
