Smallville new cast: Callum Blue as Zod

It only keeps getting better! Smallville finally cast the actor to play Zod!

For a few weeks after Smallville ended there were rumors that Sam Witwer was cast as a bald-headed Zod. But when we learned that Witwer wasn’t coming back and instead a new baddie was introduced, having Zod come back sort of fizzed out.

So the news hits that British actor Callum Blue joins Smallville in a regular role as General Zod. Even better since that means we’ll see the conflict between Clark Kent and Zod played out over a lengthy arc. I wonder how the writers are spinning this one? Last season’s final scene showed Tess Mercer being captivated by the ‘light’ and voice belonging to Zod. Is she going to be his disciple? After all, Tess always knew the best way to get Clark up to his destiny was present him with his worst villain, and if that half of the two-headed monster wasn’t Doomsday then maybe it’s Zod.

What do you think?
