Its not quite the in-depth character study situation that I honestly felt Man of Steel was.
Michael Shannonis one of many familiar faces making a grand return to the DC Extended Universe inThe Flash.

It’s like, “Here’s this person.
Here’s that person.
And they’re fighting!'”
Shannon continued, “It’s not quite the in-depth character study situation that I honestly feltMan of Steelwas.
Whether people think that’s crazy or not, I don’t even care.
I really felt likeMan of Steelwas actually a pretty sophisticated story.”
Shannon added that though he feelsThe Flashis similarly sophisticated, “it’s not Zod’s story.
I’m basically there to present a challenge.”
InThe Flash, the DC Extended Universe has cracked open and many familiar faces are pouring out.
Shannon, whorecently weighed in on Miller’s controversial reputation, spoke highly of their performance.
“Honestly, to me, it’s all about Ezra,” Shannon said.
“I just think Ezra is a fascinating performer and actor.
I can’t wait to see this performance.
It’s a huge challenge.
I don’t care whether it’s an Ingmar Bergman film or the Avengers.
It’s always about performance.”
Shannon told Looper in March.
“But then they explained to me the whole multiverse phenomenon.”
His other hesitationwas returning to the role while the DC universe continued on without Snyder.
But once he had the filmmaker’s blessing, Shannon was happy to work withThe FlashdirectorAndy Muschietti.
