Zack Snyder on "Superman" Rumors and "Thor"

While promoting his upcoming "Sucker Punch" film, director Zack Snyder is being interrogated about his "Superman" reboot. Unfortunately, he is not able to reveal much, but was able to comment on some rumors.

About a month ago, it was reported by several credible sources that Viggo Mortensen (The Road) is at the top of the list to play General Zod. Snyder stated: "Viggo is not going to be in the movie, let's say that right now. I can clear that up."

There were also talks of Warner Bros not being able to mention the origins of Superman after a court battle with the heirs of "Superman" co-creator Jerome Siegel. Snyder stated: "We're not doing anything as far as the story goes that's influenced by any legal issue."

And it seem that Snyder's decision to bring Superman to the big screen was in part due to "Thor." He stated: "[Superman] is the freaking biggest superhero on the planet. He's the father of every superhero. Thor has a movie? Really? I mean, come on. And there's no Superman movie? This is like the world is out of balance. It's like we've lost our minds here people. Come on."
