Michael Shannon was recently on Larry King Now and...wait...Larry King is still alive? What is he, like 150 years old? Wow. Where was I, I got distracted...oh yeah! Michael Shannon.
So it had been reported (because he actually said it!) that Shannon had a scene in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie that required him to be wearing "flippers" on his hands. This led to a lot of speculation as to why. One of the thoughts was that his character, Zod, was going to turn into the Doomsday monster, and that his flipper hands were part of his mutation while changing into him. Well, that quote was one big fat lie.
Well, the quote was real, but Shannon lied about having flippers on during the shoot. He did give up some interesting things about the upcoming film, though. Now he's revealing that he's actually playing General Zod's ghost. This is what he said:
"It's the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El. Russell Crowe's character is kind of like a ghost. So I guess I'm a ghost, kind of."
Interesting. But weren't all of the Kryptonian ships destroyed in the Man of Steel? That was how Jor-El was able to reappear to Kal-El, right? I'm going to have to go back and watch it tonight to refresh my memory.
King also asked if there were any scenes that take place with both him and Batman. He answered with a simple, "I did not cross paths with Batman, no."
You can watch the entire interview tonight on Ora TV.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes out March 25 of next year.
