Among them was one of Zod’s allies, Ursa, played by actress Sarah Douglas.

The 71-year-old performer is no stranger to superheroes, having starred and provided voice work in a variety of TV shows and movies since starring in “Superman: The Movie.” Some of these titles include “The Return of Swamp Thing,” “Batman Beyond,” and “Green Lantern: The Animated Series.” Like Terrence Stamp, she has also appeared in other Superman-related projects with roles in the TV shows “Superman: The Animated Series” and “Supergirl.”
