No need to wait until Friday for The Hobbit to hit the big screen,Warner Bros. surprised us all and dropped the full Man of Steel trailer in our online laps today. And what an epic preview it is to build anticipation for the highly anticipated reboot of the Superman legend.
The trailer, which runs over two and a half minutes, finally reveals some memorable shots of Cavill in costume and in action. We also get a quick peek at Michael Shannon as General Zod, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, and Diane Lane. It also looks like the Fortress of Solitude will play a part in story, as will a bearded and mostly eyeglass-less Clark Kent. The somber tone and incredible visuals seen here have certainly eased many questions, if not fears, from fans regarding the film. Teaming up Zack Snyder’s penchant for incredible big screen eye candy, the script smarts of David Goyer, and having it all overseen by Christopher Nolan looks to have worked out nicely, and then some.
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.”
