The first image of Gal Gadot as Diana Prince (fitted out in full Wonder Woman garb) has been released online, following its debut at the Batman V Superman Comic Con panel.

Continue readingMan of Steel sequel officially titled ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’
For the longest time, that Man of Steel sequel has been devoid of a title, and we’ve just gone around calling it Batman vs. Superman.

Continue readingJesse Eisenberg is our new Lex Luthor
Warner Bros. has revealed Jesse Eisenberg will play Lex Luthor in their upcoming – and still untitled – Batman vs. Superman movie. Eisenberg is certainly a surprise pick to play Superman’s nemesis, especially considering Bryan Cranston and Joaquin Phoenix had both been rumoured to be circling the part. Still, it should amount to an interesting departure for the iconic comic character. […]

This is far, far, far from official, but Bryan Cranston has reportedly signed on to play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel sequel.

Christian Bale has been offered $60 million to reprise the role of Batman, if The Sun is to be believed, which it rarely is.

Continue readingWaiting for a Superman – Man of Steel review
By Simon Miraudo June 26, 2013 Zack Snyder‘s Superman movie Man of Steel is not lacking in bombast, but its best moments are the more intimate ones, often courtesy of Supes’ parental units. Russell Crowe and Ayelet Zurer play Jor-El and Lara, the mother and father of nascent saviour Kal-El, forced to eject their son […]

Michael Shannon’s been working on his ‘fire and brimstone’ speeches for years now, and it seems he’ll have the perfect opportunity to threaten a literal apocalypse as General Zod in the upcoming Man of Steel.

Continue readingTrailer Debut: Man of Steel
A proper trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel has arrived online, expanding on the surprisingly Terrence Malick-esque first teaser. Here, we start to see the influence of producer Christopher Nolan. It’s so grim! Obviously, there are still plenty of Snyder’s visual flourishes on display. This thing might actually work… Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill, Amy […]
Continue readingTeaser Debut: Man of Steel
With one DC saga coming to an end, Warner Bros would like to point your attention towards their next big great hope: Zack Snyder‘s gritty Superman reboot Man of Steel. Christopher Nolan’s producer credit is given equal weight to Snyder’s status as director, but the visuals here seem to evoke Terrence Malick more than either of […]
Continue readingPoster Debut: Man of Steel
The teaser poster for Zack Snyder‘s Superman reboot Man of Steel was unsheathed at Comic-Con over the weekend. Nothing too shocking here; just star Henry Cavill looking forlorn/reflective while wearing his mesh garment, emblazoned with the signature ‘S’. Sadly, not a glimpse of the impressive quiff that took the internet by storm in the film’s first official set picture. Man […]

The first official picture of Henry Cavill in costume as Superman for Man of Steel has been released by Warner Bros.

Warner Bros has officially announced Michael Shannon as the villain in Zack Snyder‘s upcoming Superman reboot, now titled Man of Steel. As was originally rumoured, Oscar-nominee Shannon will play Krypton-native General Zod opposite Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent/Superman, and Amy Adams’ Lois Lane.
