Fresh off the announcement he will not return for the 13th season of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Christopher Meloni is the latest to be tied to Zack Snyder's Superman film, "Man of Steel."
Although the initial reports had Meloni playing an undisclosed role, New York Magazine's Vulture reported Saturday that his character will be a general and the actor will be filming in Chicago, Vancouver and Edwards Air Force Base.
The news broke earlier in the week that actress Julia Ormond was in talks to play Superman's birth mother Lara Lor-Van. Additionally Russell Crowe is reportedly in negotiations to play Superman's father Jor-El.
Meloni also joins Henry Cavill ("Stardust") as Superman, Amy Adams ("Enchanted") as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Jonathan and Martha Kent and Michael Shannon (HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") as General Zod.
Meloni played Detective Elliot Stabler for all 12 seasons of "Special Victims Unit."
"The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is producing and helped develop the story with David S. Goyer, who wrote the screenplay.
