Movies Underrated acting performance - Michael Shannon as Zod

[Marko Polo]

It’s a shame he only had one movie. They could have built him up like Thanos maybe show him beating the crap out of Batman or something in a previous film

 

[Ima5starman]

Prefer the original Zod

 

[TheNinja]

I thought we were talking about Zed. But Zeds dead baby. Zeds dead.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

James Gunn will probably have Adrian Brody play him in the future...

 

[Jackonfire]

Michael Shannon is the GOAT

Spoiler

And he's in a R.E.M. cover band

 

[TheChance]

I thought we were talking about Zed. But Zeds dead baby. Zeds dead.

So is Zod...

Michael Shannon is a phenomenal actor.

 

[Bacco]

He did great job, but people simply don't care enough about the character itself to hype up the performance

 

[Pittie Petey]

I just discovered this guys name yesterday because he plays in the new Nazi war trials movie Nuremberg, which he was really good in, so I was curious to look up his info

I never seen this Zod movie but I like him in everything I see him in

He looks like Jaws in the James Bond movie, when they get around to remaking that one, he's a shoe in for the role


And yes, the girl had braces at the end, fuck off with your trickery bullshit, Mandela!

 

[Thai Domi]

He was phenomenal. Stamp was more iconic, but this portrayal is tough to beat imo.

Probably paraphrasing a bit here, but my favorite delivery of a line from him in this role was:

"Does Kal-El need to be alive to extract the codex from his cells?"

 

[Adam34]

Michael Shannon is just a fantastic actor. Take Shelter is one of my favorite movies

 

[Madmick]

Everything Michael Shannon touches is fucking gold. He's a Midas among actors.

Take Shelter is one of the best performances of all time.

Check out Boardwalk Empire. He plays an ill tempered, religious hypocrite prohibition agent. He absolutely killed it in that.

 

[Halifax]

Man of steel actually got better on rewatches for me. And yes he played a great role as Zod

 

[Crash Lance]

I have to watch The Flash (2023 movie) again. Michael Shannon is in that movie as well.

 

[Valhoven]

He’s good in everything I’ve ever seen him in.

Has that zag > zig vibe and intensity that can’t be taught plus chameleon quality of being someone else, genre be damned.

Haven’t looked over his filmography but his career is one of weirder, unexpected projects as I’ve experienced it. He’s his own cat.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Is the kind of actor I will watch a movie for just because he's in it, and there's not many of those left these days

He was great in Groundhog Day

 

[Marko Polo]

James Gunn will probably have Adrian Brody play him in the future...

He was very good in Peaky Blinders. Menacing

Completely forgot he’s in 8 mile too

They should use Jared Leto to get the New Zod.
