Russell Crowe’s ‘Man of Steel’ Character Poster Looks Medieval

By Paul | May 20, 2013 @ 2:52 pm

~~Game of Thrones~~ Man of Steel's Russell Crowe looks like he could joust your face off in his new Jor El character poster released today. If it were'n't for the boss-looking Krypton space-gun-thing he's carrying, he'd fit right into a House Stark family reunion.

Crowe better be playing Superman's super-heroic biological dad, Jor El, as awesome as he looks in a get-up like that. (Seriously, we probably wouldn't mess with such a dude.) As long as he keeps the singing to a minimum, we're pretty sure he'll do just fine.

With the movie's release just a few weeks away on June 14, we're stoked to see the next few posters, particularly Michael Shannon's General Zod and Antje Traue's Zaora. Guess which one we're more likely to kneel before? Hint: It's not Zod.

Supes On Fire

Check out the first trailer for 'Man of Steel' Watch »

A lot of people gave some shrugs and 'mehs' to the dreary, serious teaser trailers that first came out last year for Man of Steel. It seemed like Superman was not a character anyone actually wanted given the Nolan 'grounded in reality' treatment. But advance word from the folks over at Warner Bros. is that this movie ultimately just crushes it and now I just can't get enough material from Supes to feed my appetite. These new images from the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly will ahve to do for now. I'm hoping we'll finally get a fully realized trailer before Iron Man 3 next month.

Man of Steel opens June 14th.

Is Lex Luthor in ‘Man of Steel’? And Is Some Guy You’ve Never Heard of Playing Him? Some People Think So

By Ian | March 29, 2013 @ 9:28 am

I've pretty much stopped trusting any news that comes out of AintItCoolNews at this point. Primarily it's because Harry Knowles once wrote the most glowing, positive fanboy review of all time and it was for a little film called Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. And then of course the nail in the coffin was when I learned that he was in fact not related to Beyonce. But that's why I'm taking their news of Lex Luthor appearing in Man of Steel with a grain of salt.

Not because I don't believe Warner would drop some easter eggs of the villain in the new film (even if it was something small like his company logo), but because Knowles is suggesting the role would be substantial and would be played by Mackenzie Gray. Who is Mackenzie Gray you ask? Why he's some actor who once played a Luther clone on Smallville. He's also a guy whose IMDB page probably had a huge spike for the first time ever today.

Would Chris Nolan and Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. offer up such a huge role to an unknown Canadian character actor? I mean, maybe the guy blew them all away in an audition. It would be kind of cool for an little known 50-something year old actor to suddenly appear in a movie like this, but to cast a guy who already played Luther before? I'm putting the kibosh on this 'exclusive' of theirs, despite whatever flimsy evidence they have, which is basically hearsay and rumor and this video where Gray confirms he's in the movie but won't say in what role.

We Run Down Every Superman in History After Watching the Literally Sizzling New ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer (VIDEO)

You always wanted to fly Kent, now's your chance

There seemed to have been a big, international 'meh' to escape from everyone's lips after watching the teaser trailer for Zach Snyder's Man of Steel. Everything seemed fine--the imagery, the look of Henry Cavill, the tone--but overall it just felt like it might be another torpid reboot like Superman Returns that tries too hard to be taken seriously. But the new trailer--complete with Hans Zimmer Gladiator high-pitched singing--has a lot going for it, including first (though quick) looks at Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburn as Perry White and Michael Shannon as the villainous General Zod.

Cavill is the latest in a long list of actors who've put on the red cape and undies. For over 70-years we've gotten to believe a man fly on film and tv. Check out the gallery below to run through the list of Every Actor to Ever Play Superman.

Is Superman Joining Lindsay Lohan in the Slammer? The New ‘Man of Steel’ Poster Suggests So

Man of Steel teaser

Our first look at 'Man of Steel' Watch »

Earlier today we got a glimpse of Benedict Cumberbatch as the new Trek villain (or at least his back) in the poster for Star Trek into Darkness and now we get a crazy Kryptonian dropkick to the face with the shocking new poster for next summer's Man of Steel showing us Henry Cavill as Supes being escorted by some military personnel in handcuffs. What did Superman do to get himself arrested? Did he pull a Winona Ryder and get caught shoplifting, earning him the new nickname Man of Steal? Will the film evoke Superman III and have a drunk Clark Kent end up in a deadly DUI after smashing a bar mirror with peanuts hurled at super speed? Probably not. But so, so many questions raised now.

But you've got to wonder what director Zach Snyder has in store for the Man of Steel if he ends up in chains that can hold him. My interest in the movie from this single image just shot up faster than a speeding bullet. And again, like Trek, the next trailer for Man of Steel will appear before The Hobbit, and after the teaser that was dropped on us before Dark Knight Rises, chances are this one will give us more of a glimpse of the plot and characters--Personally I can't wait to see how Michael Shannon tackled the role of Zod.

You can see the poster in full below. Read More » »

Forget About ‘The Dark Knight Rises’! Here’s Why The ‘Man of Steel’ Is The New Movie To Get Excited Over

By Gregory Wakeman | July 25, 2012 @ 11:56 am

The Dark Knight Rises has now been released, fawned over and loved. So, now we need to find a new movie to appreciate and get ridiculously excited over.

And it seems like Zack Snyder's reincarnation of Clark Kent and Superman fits the bill.

Henry Cavill is set to star as the burgeoning journalist in the 300 directors moody take on the superhero, with the first teaser trailer for the Man of Steel being shown to us all before The Dark Knight Rises.

But there are many other reasons for cinephiles to be jubilant over the latest Superman escapade. Here are several reasons to get excited over the Man of Steel. Don't worry 14th June 2013 isn't that far away.

Great Caesar’s Ghost! The First ‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer Takes Flight! (VIDEOS)

You Can Forget About The Dark Knight!

So with The Dark Knight Rises having now finally been released it's now time to get stupidly excited over a new movie, and the new Superman flick Man of Steel directed by 300's Zach Snyder definitely fits the bill!

And a first trailer has now been unveiled which you can devour and appreciate. In fact there's two of them.

They're pretty awesome too! You can watch one of them above.

It starts off showing Henry Cavill's Clark Kent on a ship looking like a pretty scruffy fisherman with Russell Crowe's Jor-El and Kevin Costner's Jonathan Kent providing different narration on both.

And because we're really nice, the other trailer can be viewed below too! The footage is the same on both but the dialogue is vastly different. Enjoy!
