BSG'S Tahmoh Penikett Confirmed For MAN OF STEEL; But Who Is He Playing?

can't wait for the next trailer, I hope there would be more super scenes than the first one.

I'm surprised casting is STILL going on with this film. Hmmm...

@Ror- Ah I see...do you think it's possible more confirmations could be on the way?

Awesome! I want to see Metallo under the control of Lex in the 2nd film.

LP4 - yes more are on the way because someone has to be voicing... whoops, sorry can't say. lol But you Superman fans will like it.

it would be pretty epic if braniac was our sequel villain. maybe doomsday in the 3rd film?

as for metallo, i can absolutely see him being some sort of creation by the military since they seem to be very present in this film.

i'd love it if this was DC/WB 'ironman' - by that i mean the starting point for JL & other individual films...but i know thats a lost cause. hopefully snyder & nolan will just give us a good kent trilogy while DC/WB go on and [frick] up JL & the other members. sad.

IDK...i just pray this movie will have all the characters that are ESSENTIAL to SUPERMAN. ALL of them...ahrmph.

;)

Isn't this guy going to be on Arrow next week?

@TheIntersect- Not sure but he's in the Mortal Kombat Legacy series as Stryker. Great actor.

@CaptainObvious- Fair point, but if there's a way to incorporate him as a set up without detracting from the story then what's to lose? That Sinestro scene was so rushed though. I love the character and Mark Strong owned it, but I wanted to see him slowly turn away from the Corps and turn to totalitarianism. The yellow suit was boss though.

MOS is going to kick ass at the box office like my Patriots are kicking the Jets' ass!

Hope so cuz I was hoping for some lesser known villains besides Zod or Lex Luthor.

Damn so the dude from Law & Order Chris Meloni isn't Metallo? Damn!!!

IMDB is never accurate and that is why I stop looking at at there site until the movie comes out. This actor may play Metallo or a set up and you never no, maybe Lex Luthor himself. I for one likes Lex Luthor and if his presence is know in the movie that would be amazing.

Anyone remember Metallo being a boss in the (shitty) Superman Returns game?

@IronDean2099- That alone is the reason why I'm glad there won't be a Green Lantern sequel. The movie horribly rushed and undermined Sinestro's character arc. So when the time came for him to put on the yellow ring, it felt random and out of nowhere. Also, the biggest loss of the film is the subtraction of Hal's and Sinestro's alliance. As Sinestro turns to the dark side, he is put at odds with Hal. Now we have two friends with opposing ideologies. That makes the downfall of Sinestro more personal and more tragic.

But no, instead we got this nonsense. Where Sinestro turns into the bad guy for no good reason. Since the friendship between Hal and Sinestro was virtually nonexistent in the film, then there would be no reason for the audience to care about what would have happened in the sequel. I don't mean to turn a Superman-related article into something like Green Lantern (I personally hate it when people diverge from the point of the article), but what you said sparked the perfect opportunity to get this thing off my chest.

Fricken awesome! Meloni would make a great Luthor!

He played a cool character in Smallville:Vince Davis/Wes Keenan, in 3 great episodes.

Micheal Rosenbaum was a great Lex but Kevin Spacey's was just one Lex too many. I hope Lex is retired for good.

I'm going with the popular thought on this one - Metallo

Personally, I dont want too many villains in this first movie. Give them time to really flesh out Clark's character and background since that's what's going to be the groundwork for any future movies

Micheal Rosenbaum played the BEST on screen Lex IMO

He was the MAN when he played Lex's Bio-Android codenamed "Ares" on Smallville. Clark had to Nuke his a$$ to put him down

First interesting news about this film since the announcements of Lane and Costner as Ma and Pa Kent.

Hope the trailer's good. Superman's a fave character, but I've yet to see/hear anything about the story that sounds interesting or compelling. (I should add, I'm not a fan of of Joss Whedon, and when I heard about him helming Avengers, I wasn't pleased...but all the "leaked" info slowly won me over. That has yet to happen w/this flick. And I started out excited about the choices for director and screenwriter.)

I think he should play the man who will become Metallo in The Man of Steel II but not in this one, lets focus on Zod and Krypton and coming to Earth in this one.
