Latest Poster For “Man of Steel”
It’s a busy week of advertising for Warner Bros., as they have also released the latest poster for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.
The poster highlights the film’s central character, Superman, while in flight and is meant to emphasize the speed at which he is flying. Not one of the film’s better posters, in my opinion, but it should still excite fans for its upcoming June 14th release.
Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Kevin Coster, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne and Christopher Meloni.
