Secret MAN OF STEEL Villain Confirmed! - Spoilers

I seriously don't think this is a SPOILER of any kind, but I'm throwing the warning out there just in case to cover my ass.

They go on to say that this won't be a goofy version of the character, but he will be an "ambitious, ego driven and cold version of Luthor." Here's a video in which the actor confirms he's in the movie, but can't say who. He starts talking about it at about the minute mark,

Here's a photo of the actor when he was on Smallville...
