And that new feeling is dread. All of the previous trailers for Zack Snyder’s epic movie have gone the inspirational route and I have loved every one of them, but this new Zod-centric preview shows the true weight of Superman’s dilemma in Man of Steel. Zod is here to kill, maim and destroy and it is not a pretty thing.
And once again…that soundtrack. Damn.
Man of Steel releases on June 14th.
You gotta hand it to Empire Magazine, one of the reasons they get me to spend $10 on a magazine are the wonderful covers they have. Their June issue is no different with a Man of Steel 2-cover set. The first features Henry Cavill in a full shot in Supes attire and the second is Michael Shannon looking menacing and metallic as General Zod. The issue should be on newsstands this Thursday.
So I made a joke last week about Michael Shannon looking awesome as Zod when this first photo was released, yet I did not think that he could match up to Terence Stamp’s iconic voice.
Yeah, so I was wrong.
This viral video was released last night featuring Shannon’s Zod telling Superman to hand himself over or Earth will face the consequences. It reminds me of the first viral marketing for The Dark Knight in 2007 when people got their first listen to Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Rumors abound that we will get a new trailer for Man of Steel this week.
Man of Steel releases on June 14th.
DC Collectibles is ready and set to unleash a full line of 1:6 scale statues for Zack Snyder’s huge Superman revival, Man of Steel. Below you can see a very good look at Michael Shannon as Zod. He is looking very non-Terrence Stamp and all badass. Other statues which you can see are Superman himself played by Henry Cavill, the mysterious Faora played by Antje Traue and Jor-El who is obviously played by Russell Crowe who comes with a Kryptonian gun and not a phone to assault people.
Prices have not been revealed for the statues and will be released this spring.
Empire Magazine’s newest issue has a few shots from the new Man of Steel movie including the impressive cover you see above of Henry Cavill fully suited as Superman. Also shown are shots of Russell Crowe as Jor-El and Michael Shannon as Zod.
Empire is a great read but I normally don’t want to pay 10 bucks for a magazine. That may change with this issue.
Man of Steel releases June 14th.
