“They saw Man of Steel, right?
-It’s a multiverse.
“I don’t know what that means”.
This cracks me up!
All sane people and actors: this doesn't make any sense
Modern hollywood: it's a multiverse
Would’ve been simpler to just have told him it’s time travel.
Well old people didn't understand those kind of shit stuffs like that. It's normal
@@DarkEtherealRhythmI mean if you’re gonna play comic characters you should understand the world they come from. This stuff is very normal for comic book characters.
@@HuyGaming96Quantum physics have been around for a while buddy. Young people often don’t understand it, just the movie version of it.
The guy definitely has some integrity, checking with Snyder before taking the role 👏
100%
That's because HE GANGSTER!
Like that has any relevance.
@@alphanerd7221hey opinions on Snyder aside you gotta respect the man checking with him before taking the role. He wanted to make sure this was something the original director would be alright with and preserve his artistic vision as much as possible
@@mayohyundai1152 I don't. That he thinks Snyder has any role over it at all shows his disdain for and ignorance of the material.
Mike...your portrayal of Zod in Man of Steel was great...
Best ever imo.
He was the only great villain in the Snyder movies.
@@americasteam2112 ya that's very fair. The snyderverse didn't get to develop any of their villains let alone most characters.
@@deathstalker2099I WILL FIND HIM!
@@suhaib8464 oh Yeah.... i felt that too..... Epic moment
“I don’t know what that means 😡”
I just love how naturally angry he is🤣🤣🤣
Because its Zod!!!
I think he's high. He's got that "I took a bunch of pills" slurring in his voice
Admitting you don’t know something doesn’t mean you’re angry. How soft can people get?
@@klemremy6963don't think at all
@@BESTMOADtoo late, sis
He was so good In MOS. “I WILL FIND HIM!”
Facts. And you actually believe him. And he did indeed find him. Lara’s look…she was genuinely worried. Homeboy was being sent into the Phantom Zone, but he still shook her.
I mean if they were all gonna die in a day why didnt they just leave him on the planet to die with them
@@lightdarksoul2097iirc they still didn't believe the planet would explode when they sent Zod away.
That line is so epic to me.
So good!!!
Michael Shannons confusion at the project is emblematic of the meandering ways of the DCEU.
Or rather, a lack of the actor’s understanding of the material he’s involved with.
It’s not that difficult to understand: Yes, Zod died at the Man of Steel. This story posits what might happen if hadn’t died and there was no Superman to stop him. Not difficult at all.
Personally, I think it’s just tired pretentiousness that seems to mark the genre as “unimportant” and “not real drama,” but what do I know.
@@Pogol13and your ability to understand he's talking before he heardvthe project, which he then probably learned of alternate timelines. Lol you f'ing people are ridiculous
@@Pogol13What? Yeah you’re definitely thinking way too much. If he thought the genre was “unimportant” why would he waste a year of his life giving one of his best performances in MOS? It’s pretty simple, he’s an older guy. Probably not that into comics so he didn’t know what the multiverse was. Doesn’t mean he thinks it’s unimportant bc he wouldn’t have put the effort into Zod if he felt that way. Could’ve just took his money and gave a generic performance like plenty of other actors have done.
This guy feels good about himself
@@Pogol13 Shut up
Got to respect him for having loyalty and reaching out to Zach to get his blessing
Meanwhile Snyder is happy as a pig in shit making Rebel Moon and could probably give af about DC anymore in any capacity.
@@robert04872 they screwed him over and changed his vision
@@robert04872That's not true
@@robert04872Just because he’s making another movie doesn’t mean he doesn’t give a shit about DC. What happened with the 2017 cut of Justice League is that Zack’s daughter committed suicide and he stepped down from the film. WB gave Joss Whedon the ability to do reshoots and he reshot a lot of the film and gave it a much lighter feel which didn’t align with Snyder’s original vision. Zack Snyder’s Justice League was only about 3-4 years ago, so it’s not like he’s completely shut out DC from his life.
One of the greatest living actors.
"I was in and out of the flash in like...2 or 3 weeks. That was it."
Thats the same ammount of time it survived at my theater.
That long? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ouch!
There were 4 of us at the theater a week after it opened.
@@eyeheartsushi2212theater was full a week after it opened for me. Crowd cheered. We had fun.
@@snieves4 I liked the movie a lot
“They saw man of steel, right?” Most OG response ever 😂
No it's not... it's very reasonable response. Because, you know, his character is supposed to be DEAD. You don't know what an 'OG Response' is, do you? 😅
@@tommiepattonkendrickiii1617 contextually he means, “This guy didn’t snatch up work, instead he disrespected them saying ‘Y’all don’t even understand how continuity works. Why would I do this?’”
That’s the very definition of a gangster response.
Modern comic book world: "Nobody stays dead". Most annoying nonsense ever becuse there is no finality, no high stakes, no real consequences to doing this dangerous job. He was a great Zod to me, Mike Shannon and Terrence Stamp are hard Zods to top.
@@cfgodwell 'modern'? Sorry but it's not even remotely a recent thing.
Getting Zack's blessing before doing it, thats the most humility we'll ever see in modern hollywood.
I really like this actor. He’s just straight forward and honest about things.
What a legend..... Most actors resist from talking their heart.
He didnt do it for free 😂😂😂
The fact that he didn’t do it for free shows he has more integrity by speaking up like this. It’s like how Anne Rice started out criticizing Tom Cruise’s role as the vampire Lestat in “Interview With A Vampire”, but then backpedaled on her opinion once a lot of money was on the line. “The Flash” was supposed to be a major train wreck and Ezra Miller going over the edge adding insult to injury. It’d be one thing if it was just that Ezra Miller was a bad person and the movie was at least “okay”. But the movie also had to suck. You’re also going to probably have more actors like Michael Keaton say stuff like this in the end because it’s not like any of the actors or the studio are making any residuals off of the movie. It’d be the same thing as a few celebrities being asked to volunteer for a school play in Podunk, Ohio and perform for the elementary/middle-school with gas or plane tickets on the school’s dime and said after the performance, “Yeah, that was kind of lame; but it was a job.” Anyway, the current holders of the IP and the marketers and advertisers and producers all decided to wipe their butts with money they’re not going to get back now. I have a feeling the story of the filming and release will make a really hilarious book one day!
Sounds more like an old man who no longer cares about his roles
I love how he says I don't know what that means. Idk why but that made me giggle. Just seeing someone in today's age saying I dunno is refreshing.
U say “most actors” but really I say the same about most people in general
His Zod was freaking amazing. I appreciated every one of his appearances.
I really liked that in this Universe he just always wins against the heroes, no matter what they tried
Agreed. I'm not really familiar with his work before MoS, but I like his acting there. So much charisma for a villain.
This brothers zod was as kool as the first Brit actor who literally played zod, as well superman doesn't kill anybody!! Why change the subject matter!!
@@Pope6006like literally literally?
@@rmcqueen3285 running with your head up your ass is usually your situation!!!
“It’s a multiverse… I don’t know what that means.”
You can’t capture just how cool that sounded coming out of Michael Shannon’s mouth with just plain text… Spoken like a true adult.
"adult" you mean a guy who grew up in a time before you didnt get your ass kicked for being a nerd? i odnt see how liking thingst an older state in life is less adult. i think people just like to feel like they are surprior becuase thats how their abusive parents wouldve wanted
@@DD-px5mj I mean “adult” as in a person with a competent grasp on spelling and grammar.
I love his response to the multiverse: “I don’t know what that means”. LOL 😂
An actor who doesn't understand fan service?
He was one of the best parts of Man of Steel. He’s right Warner Bros did Snyder dirty.
You know you have a great movie when the villain is brilliant 😎
Yeah, it still baffles me how WB constantly were meddling with the b/s and justice league and as a result they were trash while directors cut was pretty solid
And both movies failed at box office
And they proceed to do what they’re doing
Wtf, it’s like these guys don’t even want to earn money?
@@Afdog I don’t know but I’m not pumped about what James Gunn is gonna do. They want colorful like Marvel and Snyder wasn’t doing that. That’s why they hated Snyder.
@@viperrecords3288 well it’s still on them to wanting something colorful and inviting Snyder
It’s like wanting to make a horror and inviting Wes Anderson and then being genuinely surprised it’s kinda cheerful and not really scary lol
@@Afdog No totally it’s just these fucking assholes at WB just want to sell cups at McDonald’s and shit. They’re not thinking about making good movies. DC isn’t marvel it’s darker. It’s always been darker and they don’t want that. That’s why that new blue beetle movie is so colorful.
He’s the type of friend that’s loyal to you to the end
Yeah but I bet it is difficult AF yo become his friend.
I bet he has lots of acquaintances and few friends.
He’s a loser in real life.
He was amazing in Boardwalk Empire.
Van Alden. Hell off a job in that role
I used to believe in God.....now I don't believe in anything at all.
He was absolutely incredible in The Little Drummer Girl.
Yes he was. Awesome show.
Agreed !!!
Great little interview, honesty and integrity are rare commodities these days so it’s very refreshing to hear Michael Shannon has both in spades.
I love how his personality really does match his acting as Zod 🤣 mild mannered yet intimidating. He’s just got a nonchalant personality
"Zod is mild-mannered."
Man of Steel Zod: I WILL fiNd hIm!!!!!!!!
@@harleyjackson3708😭🤣🤣🤣
I saw him in NYC once. He's so fucking tall. It was late at night, and he was walking towards me, smoking a cigarette, but was very hunched over. It didn't register to me that it was him until after he left my peripheral vision and my brain went "Wtf that's General Zod!". He was wearing a white dress shirt and some jeans.
@@harleyjackson3708 we all have our moments
@@PermanentHigh that’s so cool; have some family members myself who have met/seen actors. My uncle met Wallace Shawn and said he’s like the coolest guy and is glad he got recognized and my other uncle sparred in mma with Kevin James
He's such a good actor. Whether it be a leading, supporting, or even just a minor character, this dude always brings it.
🙏
"I WILL NOT EAT ONE IOTA OF SHIT" gets me everytime 😂
Remember 8 mile also. I was surprised how many films he shows up
He is good.
Watch The Iceman. Disturbingly good.
I’m a huge fan of Michael Shannon!
He’s very versatile and convincing.
He did an amazing job portraying Elvis in the Nixon Elvis film. Elvis has to be one of the most popular and difficult people to play yet he pulls it off quite comically and nailed Elvis’s persona.
Why do I find the way his voice sounds so cool? Like it’s just a chill relaxed voice
Michael Shannon is a treasure. Dude puts in 100% in everything. I hope he gets recognized on the big award stages. Man is super talented.
He'll have to make a good movie first
Loved him in Boardwalk Empire. 🤌🏼
@@OhNoTheFaceWatch 99 Homes.
@@OhNoTheFacehe was also great in the iceman
He’s been nominated for 2 Oscar’s. Thought he deserved a 3rd for Take Shelter
My friend Erik and I would constantly yell "I WILL FIND HIM!" At each other in the halls before class because of Michael Shannon. Dude is a legend and I'm happy he returned as Zod.
That line live rent free in my head 24/7
I had a badminton tournament. I very much wanted to know every player in the draw. Man of steel hadnt been out for long. I looked at the tournaments draw online and recognised all the names except one. I asked assistant tournament director on facebook who so-and-so was and said he is new player from interstate. I for some reason replied three words 'I will find him!' then logged off.
Nice to hear total honesty from Mr. Shannon.
If you ever seen this guy on stage back in the day, in Chicago! None of this would be a surprise. Deep, soulful, a real cool dude!
Haha he reminds me of Harrison ford talking about Star Wars, just does NOT give a shit I love it
Why is not giving a shit fun to you? Maybe that is why a movie fails. Because the artists don't give a shit.
@@magicmike7198ecause it was a crap idea and he knew it. The arc was over in man of steel. The flash is a flop there is too much fan service and the whole thing is a jumbled mess. Shannon could see it was a bad idea from a mile away thats why he doesnt care for it
@@magicmike7198 the movie failed because everyone who saw this coming from a mile away was right. It's a piece of feminist dogsh1t
@magicmike7198 ur gonna literally blame the movies failure of Shannon and not Ezra,,,, clown shoes
@@ObliqueVisualsNz Your disillusioned vision of things is understandable but sad all the same. I too tend to believe that ''the whole thing is a mess'' but not for the same reasons. But to be proud that Shannon, for example, does not give a spit and nevertheless accepts to embark on the adventure (production and promotion) and this, even after honorably asking for Zack's ''permission'', well... that doesn't say much about Shannon, does it? He doesn't seem to me to be the kind of person who embarks on a project just for the money when he doesn't care about it. I could be wrong but I rather believe that your pessimistic view of things darkens your points of view. But again, i do undestrand your jaded spirit about the whole superhero debacle.
He genuinely sounds confused lol just imagine him being on set like “what am I doing here 🤷🏽♂️“
Apparently him and Mark wahlberg are doing a movie called angry and confused.
EXTREMELY underrated actor.
Not really. He has no problem finding work on the screen or stage. 💁♂️
Why do people call everything "underrated"
That’s class right there, mad respect to this man
He’s low key warning us that it’s gonna be garbage.
bro he really was his attitude and everything u can tell hes like u can go see it.....but I wouldn't lmao
I saw it & loved it
If other opinions matter then you got 💩 for brains!
TOTAL GoT S8 vibes. The whole cast at interviews was all: BEST SEASON EVA. 😐😑
Im the 300th liker!
it wasn't that bad, calm down
When your villain says they were barely involved in the film, that’s an issue.
Wasnt Barry kinda the villain too
@@lightdarksoul2097yeah, in like the last 5 minutes. 😂
the conflict of the film is not the flash vs zod, its more about barry trying to fix everything and accepting that he cant
Barry is the villain, Zod was just the barrier.
5 minutes couple hundred grand were do I sign up
MoS was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I loved the fights, music, dialogues and everything about it
His portrayal of Zod was excellent... doing what he was literally BORN to do.
I love how his characters are always super intense and violent men, yet he’s such a chill guy in real life
Wait, you know him in real life?
You know him in real life?
Life is real?
@@AhtoNajeebRashied Life is indeed real
They do say it's the quiet ones you gotta watch, for a reason. And this dude with the 4 comments to himself but fucked up and didn't switch accounts at first lol.
Love this, probably the most an actor as outwardly spoken of the poor treatment of Zack
first world problems
He was treated better than he deserved.
@@alphanerd7221his daughter died.
@@alphanerd7221so watching your daughter commit suicide is okay?
@@jaski4022 And he quit, so what? That isn't the studio's fault.
I don't care what anyone says, he was the best Zod, Cavil was the best Superman, and Man of Steel was a great flick.
He seems like a guy that’d be chill to trip with
He's one of my favorite actors, and he killed it as Zod.
Which Zod was your favorite?
The correct answer is "both".
Man of steel is a solid movie and it’s mostly because of this man
I WILL FIND HIM!!
Yeah, too bad the script ultimately doesn't do much with him.
Better then any dceu movie that came out after that.
@@Anon-_-0agreed
UHHH Costner, Crowe, Cavil... All great actors too
What people aren't talking about is that Zack said it was ok, really shows the kind of guy he is that he isn't salty at all about what the people over at DC are doing even after everything that happened with Justice League, probably knows the fans are crying out to have him brought back
He cracks me up!😂 His part in Boardwalk Empire was great too. His character was a good example when you push someone too far.
His honesty is unmatched
Nah. Look up William Friedkin.
@HorySmokes I will good sir, I will. Because you said that, I am going to make it my top priority to check that out. I will do my best, give my all and pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States.
Michael Shannon has that intimidating aura cuz you have no idea what he really thinks. He barely smiles, has that idgaf attitude, and is pretty candid in most interviews.
Especially when said that he didn't know what multiverse is lol
The fact he asked for his blessing first shows how much respect he has for zak thats a stand up guy
"What the fuck is a multiverse?" I can totally picture him asking that lol
General Zod is a man of honor. Hail, Krypton.
And this is why I love this guy, he is real no BS.
I legit almost cried, Michael Shannon seems like a good friend to have
We all need a Michael Shannon as a friend.
Im not the biggest Zack Snyder fan, but credit where credit is due. Casting Michael Shannon as General Zod was the best thing he did with his time at DC
Dude is too good for The Flash.
You gotta love Michael Shannon for being honest, really refreshing. I love him 😂
I love Michael Shannon. He always kills his parts in movies. He’s so damn good especially in Boardwalk Empire. His character was *chefs kiss*
The loyalty man
The multiverse is an excuse to reuse storylines we don’t need to see again.
Flashpoint and Spiderverse are different
Worse. The multiverse is an excuse for studios to make whatever they want regardless of consistency so they can claim “yea it’s the multiverse.”
@@HumanB312It's some of the things that stand out in the entirety of Multiverse Slop
@@HumanB312 don't care if it's different. Stop this multiverse crap
Yeah, it's "You've seen this before, but have you seen this before my way?"
Dude is stand up. That's what a man does. Humbles himself even when he doesn't have to.
How did he humble himself?
Michael Shannon is 1 of 3 actors whom shock me every time I see them in a movie. Every role I’ve seen him portray always leave a mark. To this day his dialogue in Revolutionary Road when he tells Winslet and DiCaprio about having a baby still rocks me to my core, memory burn.
Michael Shannon is such a great actor.
He's by far one of my favorite actors. He crushes every roll he's in
Michael Shannon is such a cool dude
This man is slowly turning into christopher walkin ever since kangaroo jack...😂
Still and underrated actor in general. The voice, the expressions, Shannon's very good.
This man is so nonchalant and chill. And all his characters have a chip on their shoulder. He plays a problematic character with emotions very well. Micheal Shannon rocks!!!!
It's weird how it usually works that way. Frank Gorshin was said to have been one of the nicest men in the world. Same with Mads Mikkelson. Nice guys who are just GREAT at playing bad guys😂
Man he was SUCH an AWESOME Zod!!!
We were all in & out of Flash just like you Michael.
“Supermans not suppose to kill” yes…that would be why He broke down immediately afterwards. He was not okay with what he had to do. Superb writing on behalf on Snyder.
He will always be the best zod we ever got as a DC fan man bravo
Michael Shannon what a legend! Destroyed the flash movie with this interview
There's a storm coming, this mans film with that line was awesomeness
My favorite villain! I was so happy to see you in Flash again!!!
Love Michael Shannon so much. Amazing actor
My favourite actor.
An actor with integrity... hard to come across these days. More respect to the man.
I love him as Zod. One of my favorite villain portraits ever
Class act giving Zac a call for his blessing.
A man that won’t stand for something will fall for anything. Salute 🫡 Sir
Frickin' just plain saying "I know this is the in thing, I don't know what it is" is confidence.
THE ICEMAN. man is born to be a villain really. So calm laidback but killing without any thought, facial expression or anyrhing. Loved him there. Over all a star amongst the actor star list of stars
I think zod should have his own movie to tell a story
What story we know how he was programmed to think no real evolvution to be had there
@Freeze_framestopmotionshe's really good at playing Zod that I can't imagine if another actor playing it.
Mike is right though, it just wouldn't be right without Zach....I would love to see a standalone Zod with him if Zach was at the wheel.
well 30 years wandering in space exploring Kryptonian colonies with his crew has definetly some potential
They should make one. Just call it ZOD.
As a huge Superman fan, I never thought we'd get a reboot of General Zod, let alone someone who could play the role at Terence Stamp's level. Then Michael Shannon shows up and I was blown away.
He’s incredible
"Why do you say this when you KNOW I will kill you for it?"
- Terrence "Zod" Stamp
I still randomly bark, 'I will find him!' during inappropriate moments, such as looking for my phone, or the car keys.
Shannon is so underrated as an actor
This man seems like a proper down to earth kind of guy
I loved his intensity as Zod. One of the great portrayals of a villain.
I love him, integrity out the a_ _ and an amazing actor
I never understood the controversy when superman snapped his neck like he maid the only logical decision you can make in that situation yk
It was the fact that Snyder thought to write Superman into that situation. Rather than giving us any other Superman story.
@@GavinAeiltsforfun I agree with the neck snap. If not, you get into this Batman/Joker thing where you stop him until he does it again, causing even more havoc. Could he have just flown away with Zod, saving the family? Sure but Zod wasn't ever going to stop. He had to kill him.
@@GavinAeiltsforfun The terror and horror that fans felt when Superman snapped Zod's neck was exactly the terror and horror pa Kent thought the world would have and fear about his son. Forgetting all the good things Kal El did during the movie and only seeing the last decision.
Writing a comfortable and "safe" premise for Superman to be with no conflict is so easy and could be boring (see Returns), but the risk taken here was acceptable as I immediately felt Clark's regret when he screamed out loud as he was pushed to do something he didn't want to.
It’s because it was a copied opinion. No one thought to check further, Superman has killed before, multiple times, both in animation, comics and live action.
Even the writer of Death of Superman said he agreed with this ending because there was no other way. I like the challenge of writing your characters into inescapable situations.
Coincidentally 2 or 3 weeks is how long they spent on the script.
After 15 scripts and like ten years or whatever id given up too damn that movie was cursed
This is what real integrity and respect look like in action.
Hey, we love you Iceman! You are such agreat actor and I appreciate your skill and dedication
He actually has more colorful things to say about his participation than this. Likening what Andi M. did in the Flash to someone playing with their action figures, but I think that's the nature of these multiverse-based films. Characters who previously died can come back, continuity basically means nothing and so forth. It certainly kicks the legs out from any amount of gravitas that previous films may have had when no one truly dies. I understand that's the nature of comics but it doesn't always play as well in film
“I will find” those other interviews 😉
People keep saying that but what characters have actually been brought back because of the multiverse? Loki and Gamora at least in marvel and well i cant say in DC since people come back to life without a multiverse ZSJL
The gravity of loss is still there. These multiverse variants are not the original I was invested in. Long story short- "you have the face, yet you seem like wholly different person".
The best DCU villain
Say you are "disappointed" without saying you are "disappointed"
Cheers for the loyalty
Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon and Antje Traue were the best parts of MoS
Who's the last one is it that fast chick because she was pretty cool
@@001100AAAEA yeah the female kryptonian
He was sooooo good in Nocturnal Animals.
Never heard of that movie
@@heinrichmenzel7163 watch it then, by Tom Ford
Underrated comment
Awesome movie ❤
coughing harder than walter yet amazing film.
I like how he is cautious that he dont step on anyones toes when it comes to trademark and copyright infridgement.
I appreciate how straightforward he is with the subject.
He's a very underrated actor. :-)
