Sean Connery as Zod


While I love Stamp in the role, I think Connery would have been a good alternative. He has that arch way of speaking and he rarely (if ever?) plays a villain. I'd have love to have seen what he could have done with it.

If I didn’t talk the way I talk I wouldn’t know who the hell I am, Sean Connery on his accent

I prefer the fact that a then-unknown was cast. Only to see him again in Young Guns and Star Wars prequels.

Terence Stamp wasn't unknown when cast in the role - he was quite a British screen icon of the 60s.

Tel Stamp an unknown lol

Well he was fairly unknown to American audiences at that time. And with that slicked-back dark hair and beard he didn't exactly look like Billy Budd.

I don't agree. I don't think he could do the over the top lines that Stamp did as well. Then again I haven't seen a movie where Sean Connery yells at the top of his lungs either.

Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw

That would have made for a plot hole because Connery is too well loved by the public

That would really suck.
