Michael Shannon is set to return as Man of Steel's General Zod in 2023's The Flash, helping to make the DC Universe's reset even more powerful.
General Zod's return in The Flash has a deeper meaning for the reset of the live-action DC Universe. After previously being seen in 2013's Man of Steel, the first film in the now-defunct DCEU, Michael Shannon is set to make his return as the Kryptonian villain, which will see him portray an alternate version of General Zod when Barry Allen finds himself trapped in a new timeline after trying to travel through time to save his mother.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Influenced by DC Comics' 2011 Flashpoint event, The Flash will replace the threat of the Atlantean-Amazon War, led by brutal versions of Aquaman and Wonder Woman, for General Zod who was previously seen in Man of Steel. This isn't the only change from the comic storyline, as Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne, a.k.a.
How Will General Zod’s Return Work Without Henry Cavill’s Superman? General Zod and Superman were so closely connected in Man of Steel that it's difficult to imagine Zod's return without Henry Cavill's Clark Kent. Even so, Cavill won't be reprising his role in The Flash, or in fact any future projects within the new DCU, which is perhaps the cornerstone of Zod's attack on Earth.
In the original Flashpoint storyline, Superman was taken prisoner by the US Government, which seems to be the case for Supergirl in The Flash, as she is seen wearing a prison uniform before donning her iconic costume. This perhaps suggests that, instead of following Superman to Earth as he did during Man of Steel, General Zod could have instead followed Supergirl, and perhaps has no knowledge of anyone named Kal-El , if he even exists in The Flash's alternate reality.
