Michael Shannon’s General Zod gets his own Man of Steel trailer

Michael Shannon’s been working on his ‘fire and brimstone’ speeches for years now, and it seems he’ll have the perfect opportunity to threaten a literal apocalypse as General Zod in the upcoming Man of Steel.

This new teaser trailer puts the villainous alien front and centre, wherein he demands puny earthlings turn over Kal-El (Henry Cavill) lest their planet be wiped out.

That said, this video where he reads that insane Sorority Girl letter is scarier.

Zack Snyder directs, Christopher Nolan produces, and Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane co-star.

It hits cinemas in June.
