The wait is over – Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is coming soon.
Well, next summer, but y’ know, at least we can officially start a countdown to see Henry Cavill in his full Clark Kent/Superman glory.
Now, not one but two teasers dropped over the weekend, and I can and will totally say that I beyond-psyched about next June.
Each trailer features the same images but is narrated by two different voices – that of Clark’s adoptive dad, Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), and that of his Kriptonian biological father, Jor-El (Russell Crowe) – and each is full of real-life-ness, grounded by an early, ambitious promise to make this a character-driven blockbuster rather than one that takes its cues from its otherworldly character’s abilities or that of the entities that will surely pose a threat to his adoptive kind.
It seems the challenge for Cavill’s Superman will be to answer the question of whether he wants to save Earth...or if he’s even destined to soar for it. The answer is obvious, but what a fun time it will be to see him figure it all out, huh.
At long last, the promo machine behind next summer’s Man of Steel is kicking it into high gear (on-set pics just aren’t enough, y’ know).
And, of course, the powers that be waited for Comic-Con to do so. Wisely.
