It's unclear whether General Zod is speaking with Supergirl or her cousin Superman in the video, since the Man of Steel is set to appear in the season finale. Tyler Hoechlin was spotted on the set in downtown Vancouver on Tuesday, April 25, wearing an oversized jacket to conceal his Superman suit.

Plot details of the season 2 finale are still kept under wraps, so it's currently unknown what Zod's motive for coming from Krypton to National City is. Calista Flockhart is also set to return as Cat Grant for two final episodes of the current season.
