Comicbook quoted Shanon's statement, "The pressure that I'm under in this situation sometimes leads me to say silly things like Zod has flippers. It was a false.. red herring, as it were."

He added, "It's the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El. Russell Crowe's character is kind of like a ghost."

Shanon's character Zod was killed in "Man of Steel." In the trailer of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Zod's dead body was shown being getting retrieved. It has yet to confirm how Shannon's character factor in the film but he did confirm to King that he features in the film.

He was also asked during the show whether his character has a scene to share with Batman. To this Shannon said that he will "not cross paths" with Ben Affleck's character.
