Although I admittedly am not that familiar with actor Harry Lennix, he must be something to join the ever growing, top secret ranks of Zach Snyder’s “Superman Reboot: Man of Steel”. You ’24’ fans may know him well as Walid Al-Rezani. Lennix, who has plenty of noteworthy credits, has also been a part of “The Matrix”, the short lived series “Dollhouse”, “Commander in Chief”, and now he will play “a high-ranking military officer named General Swanwick” per Showblitz.
Lennix will join filming with the awesome cast line up this month in Vancouver. With a script penned by David S. Goyer, and Christopher Nolan’s expertise as a producer, Man of Steel brags a long list of talent but little detail surrounding the plot. Although Movies.com may have unearthed the possible synopsis. Beware of SPOILERS!!
“Clark Kent is a freelance reporter in his early ’20s, traveling all around the world covering various news stories. However, Kent is forced to fly back into action to attain a fleeing assassin instead of covering an ethnic conflict between the Ghuri and Turaaba clans in West Africa. Upon his return to form, Kent returns to Smallville to learn more about his origins and become the hero he was born to be.”
With Henry Cavill on board as Superman, you can also expect to see Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as the evil General Zod, Antje Traue, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Christopher Meloni. What do you think of Harry Lennix joining the team?
