On Friday, we reported that Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star Christopher Meloni is in talks for an unknown role in the superhero tale Man of Steel. While there was speculation he may be playing Lex Luthor, it turns out he is playing a military general. However, he wouldn't reveal any further details about the character. Here's what he had to say below.

"I can't tell you, or I'd have to kill you."


The actor did also reveal that he starts shooting in late August over the course of five months. His role will be shot in locations such as Chicago, Vancouver, and Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Zack Snyder is directing Man of Steel from a screenplay by David S. Goyer, which was also developed by producer Christopher Nolan.

Man of Steel comes to theaters June 14th, 2013 and stars Henry Cavill, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

    @lane1 I could have saw him as either Luthor or General Lane, but since it's going to be Lane, I'd say he totally has the presence required to be General-y.

    I think the fact that it says he'll be shooting over the course of 5 months kind of gives it away as well. Obviously, he's going to have more than a few scenes that would only require a week or 2 of filming. :P

    He'll look good as Amy Adams dad. :)

    He woulda been an awesome Lex but Sam Lane is a good character 2.

    @2movieguys Did you read the article? The very first sentence says: On Friday, we reported that Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star Christopher Meloni is in talks for an unknown role in the superhero tale Man of Steel.

    Obviously, he's famous from Law and Order: SVU, which has been running for quite some time now. Try to keep up, man.

    @bawnian-dexeus...same assumption here, cuz if he was just playing a regular general with no significance to the movie why would he say " i cant tell you, id have to kill you "...i think its Sam Lane

    Google " Gen. Sam Lane Secret Origins "...Meloni looks like him alot in those comics
