"Zack Snyder&amp;#039;s Superman movie will feature General Zod as its villain, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The character, a survivor from Superman&amp;#039;s home planet Krypton, first appeared in a 1961 issue of Adventure Comics and has since featured in Man of Steel film and TV incarnations. Terence Stamp portrayed Zod opposite Christopher Reeve in 1980&amp;#039;s Superman II, while more recently Callum Blue appeared as the character in Smallville. Snyder will direct Superman from a script by David Goyer. Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are all on board to produce the superhero relaunch. Speaking about his collaboration with The Dark Knight director Nolan, Snyder said: &amp;quot;In the initial meetings, he&amp;#039;s been super-amazingly smart and also amazingly kind, filmmaker-to-filmmaker. I have great respect for him. The process has been amazing so far, and it looks like nothing but pluses.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I definitely expressed my love for the character and interest in seeing him treated right. The character deserves to be loved. It&amp;#039;s his time.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Snyder reveals Superman reboot details "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
