Mark Gibbon To Play General Zod In 'Supergirl'

If recent reports are to be believed, The CW has one hell of a surprise in store for us, according to Bleeding Cool, actor Mark Gibbon was recently spotted on set inhabiting the role of none other than General Zod.

The outlet expects an official announcement to swiftly follow, which should happen if this proves true because, let’s not forget, official synopses for episodes tend to find their way online three weeks prior to airing.

The character of Zod no longer has any ties to the DC Extended Universe due to his death in Man of Steel and whatever you want to call his involvement in the Doomsday process in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice being in the rear-view mirror.

Right now, it really looks like seeds are being planted for Zod to be the big bad in season 3 and, you have to admit, he’s certainly worthy of being such a threat. Supergirl returns with new episodes on Monday, April 24.
