The DCEU has been something of a mixed bag for fans so far , withWonder Womanconsidered the high spot whileJustice Leaguewas a critical and commercial dashing hopes . Arguably the good scoundrel to adorn the serial is Michael Shannon ’s General Zod fromMan Of Steel , who tests the strength and morality of Superman in more path than one . Maybe the most underrated part of the movie is Antje Traue ’s Faora . She was Zod ’s sub - commander on Krypton and helped him during his go wrong takeover , and later add up to Earth with her General to serve him establish a new Krypton .
Prior to Antje Traue being cast as Faora , the role was offered toWonder Womanstar Gal Gadot , who had to turn it down due to maternity . Traue was previously see in the space repulsion filmPandorumalongside Dennis Quaid , and she bring a real threat to Faora . She ’s just as unmarried - given and remorseless in her pursuance , having been genetically organise to wait on Krypton . She ’s super firm and virtually indestructible , being able to shrug off heavy gunfire and multiple explosions . She ’s also the first superpowered villain Henry Cavill ’s Superman battles and proves to be a serious challenge .
Faora seems to die inMan Of Steel’sfinale when she attempts to destroy a military plane that ’s prove to take down Zod ’s Black Zero ship . The plane is also carry Superman ’s ship , which create a phantom crusade , so when the military plane collides with Black Zero it creates a Phantom Zone hepatic portal vein that sop up in Faora and others loyal to Zod . That ’s the last that ’s seen of Faora in the movie - and the DCEU - to date . That could change , however , since Zack Snyder later confirmed Faora survived and is currently imprisoned in the Phantom Zone .
With the DCEU currently undergoing a retooling with Matt Reeves’The Batmanand James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad , it ’s nameless if Henry Cavill ’s Superman will return . Even if he does n’t reprise the role , it would be bully to see Antje Traue ’s return in some physical body , since she ’s still one of the most unnerving villains found in the DCEU . Since the macrocosm seems to be moving away from the initial version do out for the enfranchisement withMan Of Steel , that could intend she might be a permanent occupier in the Phantom Zone .
