Check out a cool video above going over how they created Michael Shannon’s Zod body for Batman Vs. Superman.
For the blockbuster BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, ADI created two ultra-realistic replicas of the deceased General Zod that would withstand close scrutiny by a camera lense. Fitness trainer Greg Plitt came to ADI for us to lifecast his body from the neck down while our colleague Barney Burman loaned us a headcast of actor Michael Shannon. Once the Shannon headcast was copied both the head and body were run in silicone with a polyfoam fill to make them solid. Tony Matijevich, Brian Clawson, and Tim Leach created both Zod bodies; Denise Baer punched hair; Mike Larrabee painted both Zods.

Michael Shannon previously made mention he wears flippers for Batman Vs. Superman, which drove the internet wild with speculation Zod may become Doomsday or maybe even Bizarro.
Shannon has since come out and said he made it all up, and now while talking with Screen Rant says more of the same, but does offer a “no comment” when questioned if he actually has more of a role than the body bag scene depicted in the trailer.
Flippers? I think that might be a prime example of my scatological humor. People ask me a lot about Batman v Superman and I really don’t have anything to say about it, so sometimes I just make up stuff, which I’m sure Warner Bros. is really happy about.
I run for President (laughs). Uh, no, you know, I think it’s better left unsaid. I mean, when does the movie come out?
Yeah, I don’t want to spoil it for anybody. Yeah, no comment.
It’s speculated Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor gets a hold of Zod’s corpse and experiments with it, perhaps creating the Luthor Warsuit from the comics or maybe even one of the above mentioned Superman villains.

Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con Trailer:
Recent statements by Michael Shannon saw the actor state he has a role in Batman Vs. Superman suggesting his character has flipper hands which led to all sorts of internet speculation.
Shannon then stated he was just joking, and now Larry King asks Michael Shannon about the movie.
Shannon tells King how Superman cracked his neck in Man of Steel and left him for dead, which saw King remark, “So you’re not Zod?”
“It’s the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El, Russell Crowe’s character, is kind of like a ghost,” Shannon responded. “So I guess I’m a ghost.”
Shannon also confirms he is there in Batman Vs. Superman as Zod, as well as states he did not film scenes with Batman.
“Yeah,” Shannon responded to Larry King’s questioning about portraying Zod. “I did not cross paths with Batman. No.”
Regarding the flippers, Shannon offered he was being a little “mischievous” as Warner Bros. doesn’t want him saying anything. “It was a red herring as it were.”

Almost two weeks ago saw Michael Shannon make mention that he is appearing in costume in Batman Vs. Superman with “flipper hands” which set the internet on fire.
Speculation immediately went to Michaelon Shannon playing Doomsday or maybe even some form of Bizarro.
However, now Michael Shannon clears the air by stating he was just making things up.
“I wasn’t there,” Shannon told the Daily Beast. “It’s a really awkward situation—I’m in the trailer for a movie that I didn’t work on.”
Shannon does confirm his voice will appear in Batman Vs. Superman and compares it to something similar to what happened with Jor-El appearing as a AI-ghost later on in Man of Steel.
“I went over and did some voice-over stuff because it’s like that ghost thing. But I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that. I get very nervous,” Shannon offered.
Regarding the flippers Shannon mentioned in a previous interview, the actor states he can’t actually believe people took his answer as being serious.
“Somebody was asking me about this in New York and I made up some ridiculous bullshit answer about how my character Zod has flippers, and this went viral on the Internet or something and people have been asking me about that,” Shannon said with a “baffled” smile. “That is so obviously a complete bullshit story, right? But people took it seriously.”
Shannon does continue, with interstingly enough mention of Doomsday, offering he would come back even if he actually wore some sort of flipper appendages.
“Maybe they should add it, I don’t know! Maybe in Part 3, Doomsday will have flipper hands. I mean, look—nothing would make me happier than to work with Zack [Snyder] again, he’s hysterical and he’s a lot of fun to work with,” Shannon said.

While the recent Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con trailer (watch below) did reveal Michael Shannon’s Zod, it was only in the form of a corpse, with many fans online speculating that Lex Luthor gets his hands on the body following Man of Steel.
Now while speaking with Vulture, Michael Shannon looks to have confirmed some sort of role in Batman Vs. Superman as the actor states he was on set and offers some rather interesting comments about his hands.
Via Vulture:
“I was in my costume, and I couldn’t use my fingers because in the sequel I have flippers instead of hands,”
“So I had these wax flippers on my fingers, and I couldn’t open the door, and I could hear Zack [Snyder, the director] being like, ‘Where’s Shannon? Where the fuck is he?’ and the whole crew was standing around. I was like, knocking on the door with my flippers, ‘Let me out of here!’”
Fortunately, Shannon had his personal superhero in the “craft-service guy, who doesn’t have the best craft service,” Shannon said. “He was actually paying attention to what was going on. He came over and he opened the door for me. Otherwise I would have gotten fired.
Shannon wouldn’t elaborate any further about his brief appearance in the trailer.“Well, I haven’t seen the trailer either, so I don’t know what I am in the trailer,” he said. “I could be a toaster, or a Porsche, I don’t know.” (He didn’t say where he’s seen a toaster with flippers.)
There has been rumor that Shannon may become Doomsday in the movie, which I actually hope doesn’t happen (I would rather have the real deal from the comics). It’s possible Lex Luthor may experiment on Zod creating some kind of creature (maybe a version of Bizzaro?) that he unleashes on Superman (and/or Batman). The trailer also seemed to have revealed Mercy Graves involved with Zod’s body, which may hint at an Amazonian influence.

If you didn’t know – Michael Shannon happens to be a big fan of Aquaman.
Shannon previously said if he could play a superhero, it would be Aquaman.
“You know who I really want to play?” Shannon said. “Aquaman. If they ever make a fucking Aquaman movie, I want to be Aquaman.”
Shannon said that over a year ago, and now the actor has been spotted at the Sundance Film Festival wearing an Aquaman t-shirt.
Jason Momoa was recently cast as Aquaman and also attended the Sundance Film Festival where Michael Shannon wearing the Aquaman t-shirt was brought up. Momoa didn’t have much to say about it other than “that’s awesome.”
Michael Shannon played Zod for Zack Snyder in Man of Steel. Various fan theories are speculating that Lex Luthor gets a hold of Zod’s body and uses the Kryptonian armor to make the Lex Luthor Warsuit from the comic books.
