The Flash is set to bring fans back to an alternate timeline of General Zod’s invasion during Man of Steel. A brand new behind the scenes photo shows off Antje Traue’s return as Zod’s second-in-command Faora-Ul.
Fans have known that Antje Traue would return as sub-commander Faora-Ul in The Flash since it was announced that Michael Shannon would reprise his role as General Zod. However, unlike her leader, Faora has mostly been absent from promotional material for the film. Luckily for fans, Traue has released two brand new photos showing her transformation into the Kryptonian soldier they know and love:
It’s currently unknown how large of a role Antje Traue will have in The Flash. The actress played a small, but impactful, role as a secondary antagonist in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Given recent pieces of merch tease a darker threat awaiting Barry in this new film, it’s not likely Faora-Ul will serve as anything more than a small obstacle for the heroes, with General Zod being the main focus of their efforts. Still, any spotlight for such an underrated villain is sure to delight fans of the character.
The Flash’s DC Universe future
Warner Bros. Discovery already has a script for a potential sequel to The Flash, written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the man behind the two Aquaman movies starring Jason Momoa. However, James Gunn and Peter Safran did not discuss the Flash sequel during their DC Universe presentation.
Directed by Andy Muschietti from a script written by Birds of Prey scribe Christina Hodson, The Flash is inspired by the Flashpoint comic book storyline, which followed Barry Allen as he navigated an altered DC Universe. Written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Andy Kuber, Flashpoint radically altered the status of the DC Comics universe and led to the launch of the New 52 titles.
In addition to Ezra Miller, The Flash also features Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as two separate versions of Batman, Ron Livingston as Henry Allen, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora-Ul and Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Rudy Mancuso and Luke Brandon Field are also on board in undisclosed roles.
