As if my excitement for Zack Synder‘s Man of Steel couldn’t be more fever pitch, those Brothers at Warner go and release this final trailer.

While the other trailers focused on Clarke Kent (Henry Cavill) finding his place in our world, after growing up as an intergalactic refugee, this one begins with villain General Zod (played by the awesome Michael Shannon) and his ultimatum to Kal-El and the people of Earth.

The consequences for non-compliance are somewhat severe. Take a look…

Good grief. Where to start? Zod’s brilliant badassery, Superman drowning in a sea of skulls, the chilling first words from Faora (Antje Traue), Sups with a serious case of red eye – all insanely cool moments. My hype meter just exploded.

We were told this film would be chock full of action, so it’s great to see more of this side of things before its release. And from all accounts this is but a taste of things to come.

Please let Man of Steel be as amazing as the promo promises – striking the perfect balance between action and drama. On 13 June we’ll find out.
