Could Zack Snyder have found his General Zod? The Hollywood Reporter sure seems to think so, as they’ve posted a rumor that the big villain for the upcoming Superman relaunch: Viggo Mortensen.

According to THR, Mortensen is a “person of interest” to Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan — one of the big questions remains whether or not Mortensen jumps on board for Universal’s Snow White film, and whether or not they can juggle the two schedules.

That all said and done, if Viggo does put his stamp on the role immortalized by, err, Terrance Stamp, I am totally in for this movie. They’ve already announced a slew of cool casting news, including Henry Cavill as the titular Man of Steel, as well as Kevin Costner as potentially playing Pa Kent. What say you on all this, Rama readers? Sound off!
