New Empire Magazine Covers Feature MAN OF STEEL Star Henry Cavill as Superman
Ugly duckling Henry Cavill graces the new cover of Empire Magazine in full Superman attire to promote his upcoming film ‘Man of Steel’. Yes, “Superman Gets The Dark Knight Treatment” and no one is complaining. Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Meloni, and Russell Crowe also star. Man of Steel opens June 14th.
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien 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 soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.
