15 Most Exciting Upcoming Comic Book Movie Performances
13. Michael Shannon's Doomsday (Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice)
Despite sporting the type of haircut that painfully reminded you of the times in which mum sacrificed your appearance in order to cut costs with a bowl and scissors, Michael Shannons Zod from Man of Steel was an intimidating presence. Under the constant threat of his bug-eyes literally exploding from his skull, Zods genocidal aspirations left a scar on the world. For a while now, there have been rumours floating around, claiming that Zods cadaver was going to be experimented on by Luthor and subsequently turned into the monstrous Doomsday (aka the brutish alien who beat Superman to death). After the second trailer debuted, it appears as if its much more than a rumour. From a story-line perspective, having Zod become Doomsday makes sense. He is already proven threat to Superman, can provide much needed brawn to Luthors brains and is believable adversary for the cumulative might of DCs Holy Trinity. I wouldnt expect to see him undergo a Shakespearean showing of character development but you cannot deny that Doomsday fighting Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman is going to be awesome. Shannon is truly an actor's actor, respected and admired for his aptitude to either portray a wide range of emotions (Boardwalk Empire) or completely detach himself from them (The Iceman). Heres hoping that acting ability actually gets to shine through the influx of CGI.
