It’s not a spoiler, as he’s featured in most of the marketing material, but Michael Shannon is about to make his return to the DC film universe in “The Flash.” Reprising his role as General Zod, Shannon gets to revive a character who was killed in “Man of Steel” in a new film thanks to multiversal shenanigans.
