help Superman II FAQ
Why are there two different cuts of Superman II?
Richard Donner started the film, but Richard Lester finished the theatrical version after Donner was removed. Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut was released on home video in 2006 and restores more of Donner's footage, including material with Marlon Brando.
Who are the three Kryptonian villains in Superman II?
The villains are General Zod, Ursa, and Non, played by Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas, and Jack O'Halloran. They escape the Phantom Zone and come to Earth with the same powers Superman gets from the yellow sun.
Why does Clark Kent give up his powers in Superman II?
Clark gives up his powers because he wants a normal life with Lois Lane, played by Margot Kidder. That choice becomes catastrophic once Zod and his followers arrive on Earth and Superman is needed again.
What is Lex Luthor's role in Superman II?
Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor escapes prison and tries to bargain with General Zod. Instead of being the main physical threat, Luthor acts as the opportunist who knows Superman's identity and tries to profit from the Kryptonians.
