More Man of Steel Casting News

Christopher Meloni of Law & Order: SVU fame has been cast as "a general". Nobody was very clear on what that means at all, but he will be shooting scenes with Superman in them, so he is apparently playing a major character, possibly helping Superman fight against Zod. Julia Ormond of Benjamin Button was also announced to have won the role of Lara Lor-Van, Superman's biological mother. Thus far, I haven't seen a single bad actor cast thus far in the movie, and David S. Goyer is writing the script. Could Man of Steel be shooting for the Oscar that The Dark Knight wasn't nominated for? Things are certainly starting to look that way, but we'll just have to see how many more big announcements in casting will be made, like who will play Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, and if Lex Luthor will make an appearance.
