First TV Spot for Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL Starring Henry Cavill
Warner Bros. has released the first TV spot for Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman film MAN OF STEEL starring Henry Cavill. It’s great that the film’s marketing campaign is officially underway but I just wish the spot featured some new footage. The film centers on Clark Kent, a journalist in his twenties who was adopted as a child by Jonathan and Martha Kent after he was transported to Earth from the dying planet of Krypton.
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.
Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, and Ayelet Zurer also star. Man of Steel opens in theaters June 14th.
