Over the weekend, a new Superman “Man of Steel” casting has been announced. An actor by the name of Harry Lennix, who can be seen in two of the Matrix movies, “Matrix: Reloaded” and “Matrix: Revolutions” has been casted as a military general. However, this isn’t the military General Christopher Meloni will be playing, a different General. Harry will be playing a character named, General Swanwick. He’s an original character. This character was never in the comics and the other films. While Harry’s character of General Swanwick was made publicly, Warner Bros. is still being secretive on the details of the character.

More on the story, here.

Zack Snyder said this is going to be a different Superman movie than all the others, and it’s starting to show with them adding original characters.

Original characters have been written for the earlier Superman movies before. Ursa was never in the comics and also, Nuclear Man from “Superman IV: the Quest for Peace” was an original character for the film as well.

I should be getting the “Superman: Motion Picture Anthology” Blu Ray set soon. I plan on ordering it from Amazon this week, hopefully.
