General Zod Cast for Smallville

Callum Blue will utter the immortal words, "Kneel before Zod."
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.

WOW General ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....uh uh oh sorry i was watching Snorville and nodded off
teabag - 6/24/2009, 6:10 AM
what happened to sam witwer...he looked kina like zod if he had the face hair..ps smallville sucked last year with that crappy doomsday..im still a huge fan as always but jeez...they really f-d it up..thank god for the legion...even the justice lg is looking pussied down on s-ville...we dont even see cyborg...i think next season...we need a wonder woman appearance, we need jonnz to be an alien somehow again, fukk zod..they should do darkseid...and have doomsday resurface to kill clark...then clark comes back and kills doomsday..finally ending the show as kal becomes superman...ps jimmy died?..wtf..they should now kill chloe, lana..and let clark and lois finally hold hands...they dragged this show on for too long now...and let some storylines get out of hand...they let luthor find out clark's identity before he became superman and then replaced luthor with tess??..sucks arse...but green arrow killing lex was wicked...and why cant they bring in kara?..they still wana have her on her kandor road-trip...that fukkin cw drives me crazy sumtimes
Anil Rickly - 6/24/2009, 6:12 AM
john rhys meyers for zod if they ever re-cast him for a superman motion picture...singer would love him lol
Anil Rickly - 6/24/2009, 6:14 AM
Its about time they show him.
Bandrews1 - 6/24/2009, 6:19 AM
Wasn't this the guy that played a reaper on that show nobody watched. What was it called?! Owyeah, Dead like me.
Spilox - 6/24/2009, 6:31 AM
I totally agree with every word Anil said! Last season did suck some major ass and what are we just suppose to forget about DoomsDay who they basically based the whole season on last year? I think it would be nice if they just had one final season of him being Superman and not some Whiney, coward looking and Flash wannabe version of my favorite hero!!!!!!
TheRealSupaMan - 6/24/2009, 6:33 AM
Ok He not a t some Whiney, coward looking and Flash wannabe you make him sound like he a solider
Supermike - 6/24/2009, 6:50 AM
WTF>>>Stay off the booze supermike
teabag - 6/24/2009, 6:58 AM
Booze lol??? I think he's on something else! : D
LEEE777 - 6/24/2009, 6:59 AM
I think that the problem with Supermike is that he ISNT on anything, lol! when he was back in the asylum he was ok...;)

i find it hard to care about any Smallville news after Season 8-the season was supposed to move things on and to begin with it did with Clark working at The Daily Planet and starting a relationship with Lois, then suddenly they bring Lana back and recycle that same old storyline that had been dragging on for 7 years. And as if that wasnt bad enough they spent 22 episodes setting Doomsday up resulting in that pathetci excuse for a finale-Zod will just be ANOTHER disappointment!!!
JoshW - 6/24/2009, 7:03 AM
Exactly
teabag - 6/24/2009, 7:18 AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That guy doesn't really scream ZOD to me, I mean it looks like someone stepped all over his face, I couldn't be scared of a guy like that...

Yohon Kalic - 6/24/2009, 7:19 AM
Can't wait for next season!!!
Jetsaholic - 6/24/2009, 7:21 AM
I could see this guy. I think Zod is a good move for the show. He would be a more subtle villain, constantly pulling the strings to work the angles in his favor. I think we will be seeing a lot more classic Superman villains.
THEHAWK - 6/24/2009, 7:30 AM
Yup, more classic characters for them to ruin...sort of like with Jimmy or should that be Henry!? Sigh...
JoshW - 6/24/2009, 7:52 AM
i still like the show, but it has gotten off the path lately. i think zod, even though he hasnt been on the show specifically, has been played out. a new villian was called for. they do have mettallo, but i think darkseid or maybe even mr. mxylplix would have been cool. he could of played all kinds of havoc
superdog - 6/24/2009, 7:55 AM
If they bring in a lame watered down version of DARKSEID that's it! Kiss goodbye to SMALLVILLE! Damn that crappy DOOMSDAY! : D

Superdog @ Um, they have already had Mr Mxylplix or however you spell it a good few seasons back!
LEEE777 - 6/24/2009, 7:57 AM
i know, but more than just one episode, hed be good for a long arc. and your right, they really couldnt do a good darkseid. it would definitely be watered down. he would probably be living inside some whiney emt guy or somehting and only come out at night except when hes horny for a blonde girl. oh wait.......
superdog - 6/24/2009, 8:02 AM
superdog: the way you describe Davis made me wanna laugh but when i thought about it and realised that pretty much sums up the character of Doomsday, it made me want to cry! ;)
JoshW - 6/24/2009, 8:11 AM
Clark " Zod's back my god what do i do Chloe....i mean wow i feel so conflicted...do i have sex with him and by doing so using our alien DNA to REBOOT our race or do i wait a year to get rid of him??" Chloe "Clark....(longing look)...your here for a reason...send zod to the phantom zone"...Clarke "Wow the phantom zone....what a radical and new option...it might just work..(longing look)...but im not hitting him cus my mummy will tell me off"...........cut to green arrow humping Tess's leg
teabag - 6/24/2009, 8:14 AM
I hope they give this ZOD the same Bee Gee's look with the open Chest shirt..lol

Naw, I hope they give him a decent updated look...but like the legion.....He will probably be wearing something you and I can pick up at the mall...sigh....
vonstallin - 6/24/2009, 8:22 AM
Teabag you are definitley one of the writers aren't you? :} It's like Beverly Hills 90210 meets The Flash!!
TheRealSupaMan - 6/24/2009, 8:25 AM
he will be wearing something from the mall. it seems like he would just be a replacement for lex. a guy manipulating things behond the scenes, tess doing his bidding etc.....both lionel and lex played the same part they just couldnt fly. but who knows, maybe zod wont either, no chest hair no tights, those are the rules.

kwl, iv never seen this guy in anything before, but it could be good. I don`t know how this happened, but i never even knewthat was terence stamp who played him originally! Its weird cuz ive seen the name, just never put it together i dont know.

Woo Hoo!
jallanr - 6/24/2009, 9:43 AM
DOH! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I want to give you a hug InstigatorGIRL. You're living up to your name.
SirPrize - 6/24/2009, 9:49 AM
This guy looks the part. Can't be worse than Sam Witwer.
Bamf7 - 6/24/2009, 9:54 AM
KNEEL..KNEEEEEEL BEFORR ZOD!.....ZOD!
GUNSMITH - 6/24/2009, 9:55 AM
Callum Blue was great in Dead Like Me. I think he'll really bring something to the table.
longbowhunter - 6/24/2009, 9:59 AM
Damn Smallville...it's a tease. It's like that ex-girlfriend everyone has who is a total whore and sloppy drunk and she keeps making you THINK she's cleaning up her act...keeps putting out little morsels of good news, "Yeah Durkinknight, I stopped hitting the crackpipe," or "Yeah Durkinknight, I'm not gonna be a one-woman party item for the Alpha Sigma Sh1thead Frat House every Friday night anymore..." But as soon as you take her back, she's high as a cloud and has more mileage than your grandparents sedan! I'm NOT the only one with an ex like that right guys?...uh guys? Hmmmm you guys are shy about admitting it, that's what it is:D
TheDurkinKnight - 6/24/2009, 10:10 AM
InstiGANGSTAgirl-

LMFAO!
Talontd - 6/24/2009, 10:15 AM
@ Durkinknight....Ex....im still with the bitch
teabag - 6/24/2009, 10:23 AM
teabag

I wanna put you in a cup and pour hot water on you.

Callum Blue was great in Dead Like Me, but he's basically comic relief in everything I've ever seen him in. I just don't see him as Zod. But I guess that's why I stopped watching Mallville in season 4.

And seriously... who let supermike post videos?



BillyBlack - 6/24/2009, 10:59 AM
BillyBlack....Il help you sleep at night
teabag - 6/24/2009, 11:18 AM
Haha teabag! You know a woman is trouble because she's...wait for it...a WOMAN!
TheDurkinKnight - 6/24/2009, 11:23 AM
InstigatorGirl- LOL!

Anil- Yes the LEGION appearing was awesome. Hopefully we can see more of them in the coming season.

I am glad that we are actually going to see Zod and hopefully we will see him actually fight Clark for more than two minutes. I know asking for a lot but can we see Clark actually fight someone? I like this show but damn the major fights should have actually had fighting occur within them.
ironknight27 - 6/24/2009, 11:37 AM
Durkinknight i love my missis but hell i ad to do this............

InstigatorGirl my missis would love that pic........if she was real shhhhhhh
teabag - 6/24/2009, 12:36 PM
InstigatorGirl- Nice! Those are some big juggs. The funny thing is I saw a couple walk by me not too long ago that resembled this couple. Except the lady didn't have the knockers as big as in the picture.

DurkinKnight- I actually have two exs like that! Damn I used to be such a bad judge in character.
ironknight27 - 6/24/2009, 12:47 PM
Actually, Stamp played Zod in Superman 2 from 1980. Sorry Phinehas.
RaKita - 6/24/2009, 1:09 PM
"BillyBlack....Il help you sleep at night"

You already do, teabag... You already do.

Good to see InstigatorGIRL on point as always.
BillyBlack - 6/24/2009, 1:16 PM
i love the z. it looks like some kind of bathroom sign.
grif - 6/24/2009, 1:38 PM
stamp was also in the beginning of the first superman rakita, when he was sent to the phantom zone

woo hoo!

I don't know who this guys is but i have faith in the producers of the show. So far all the actors they've hired to play iconic DC characters have been pretty on point. I'm sure he'll do well as Zod.

To be honest i was happy the hear that Sam Witwer was not going to return to Smallville for Season 9. He did a great job as Davis but it would have been too confusing if he returned as Zod.
KryptonianRage - 6/24/2009, 4:43 PM
Smallville + Zod that just makes for some wonderful tv
jk
Micky2Turnpike - 6/24/2009, 11:00 PM
Forget Smallville. Give Zod his own Series I can see it now Zodville!

"Somebody kneeeel before mee! Don't care how ya do it just kneeel Kneeel!"

THEHAWK - 6/25/2009, 11:18 AM
I think having Zod on the show can be a good thing, but I beleive that if they had someone on there in which could play off of clark and clark play off of them, the season could be interesting. Just like the comparison of The Joker and THe Batman. THe only person I can think of is Darkseid but don't know if that would be a good move. Superman's bad guys are too hard to pull off. Perhaps they should introduce Kalibak and focus on an Apocolyptic invasion, have clark go rouge etc, now that would be interesting. Introducing various advesaries from Apokolyps and leading up to Darkseid. Even throw in ol' Mr. Bruno Manheim!: You said you'd make me a king" Darkseid: "And so I did, king of fools"
