De website Superman Homepage heeft via een openbare casting call voor figuranten in Vancouver een eerste officiële plotomschrijving van Superman: Man of Steel weten te achterhalen. Heel schokkend is het niet, maar duidelijk is dat de film redelijk terug gaat naar de beginfase van Supermans komst naar onze aarde.
"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."
Plot van Superman: Man of Steel deels onthuld
Enige duidelijkheid van wat we van Zack Snyders Superman kunnen verwachten.
