The spotlight may have shone on Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Batman in recent years, but many believe that this year’s spotlight is reserved for Clark Kent, aka the Man of Steel.


Even during its development stages, Man of Steel has already been generating a lot of buzz. Because superhero films have experienced tremendous successes over the past few years, it is no surprise that a Superman movie would attract a great deal of attention. Adding to the excitement is the fact that the men behind the film are Zach Snyder (300, Watchmen) and Christopher Nolan (the Batman trilogy) – filmmakers known for their “dark” style in action films.

As expected, there are also those who are skeptical about the film, considering that its predecessor Superman Returns was a box office failure despite its critical success. However, given the strong promotion for the film, as well as positive reviews from early screenings, many film experts believe that Man of Steel would surpass the success of Superman Returns.

In addition, Man of Steel’s casting proves to be a factor on its impending success. British actor Henry Cavill seems to have gotten the approval of fans, both men and women, when it comes to playing the iconic superhero. Furthermore, the film boasts of acclaimed actors, such as Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, and Russell Crowe, which adds an appeal to older audiences. And just like this film, Henry Cavill’s career also looks very promising. Previously losing to Robert Pattinson on his roles in Twilight and Harry Potter, Cavill is among those rumored to fill in Daniel Craig’s shoes as the next James Bond.


With this amount of buzz, it is no surprise that this will be the year of the Man of Steel.
