Kneel Before Viggo?

Actor Viggo Mortensen is "a person of interest" to play the villain in  Zack Snyder's Superman: Man of Steel says Heat Vision Indications are that the role could be that of General Zod!

While Mortensen isn't the only actor being considered for the role, he's the one Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan are hoping to get.

Mortensen is also up for the role of the Huntsman in Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron--if he doesn't do that film he's likely to get the MOS gig

Henry Cavill plays Supes Kevin Costner is being eyed for an unspecified role

The new pic's screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan

Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Nolan and Deborah Snyder will produce the reboot

Zod or not--Mortensen would make an interesting casting choice as the bad guy

Production will start this summer with a December 2012 release date expected.
