Lennix, who also starred in the Matrix, will be playing the role of General Swanwick in the Man of Steel hitting theaters in 2013.

Q: And I know you can’t say much on “Man of Steel” but how exciting was it to get that role?

Not too long ago images from the Man of Steel set outside of Edwards Air Force Base surfaced. They showed Superman Henry Cavill, Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Antje Traue (Faora) Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy, Richard Schiff as Dr. Emil Hamilton, director Zack Snyder, soldiers and a tank. Reportedly the scene had something to do with an exchange and some spaceships.

Now a video from the set has surfaced. While it's not too revealing, it is at least cool to check out!

In a recent interview with ClevverTV, the young Man of Steel couldn't reveal many details, but did speak about his time on the set.

On the official Facebook for 'Man of Steel' the film logo was just released. It's a little darker and bit more gritty than we're use to seeing, and if I'm not mistaken, I think somebody stuck the Nike shoosh in the center! (probably just a coincidence)  However, it's obvious some more creative alterations have taken place since the 2006 film. We may still have for the Summer before we get any footage or a trailer most likely with The Dark Knight Rises. In the meantime, it sounds like we should keep an eye on this Facebook page, as it looks like more will be hitting there soon. 

Thoughts on the logo?

Put your worries to rest! Henry either has a speech coach or perhaps 'the American Accent' isn't all that hard to learn. Either way, you can see for yourself below in the trailer for "The Cold Light of Day"

In an interview with IndieWire.com, director McG reveals that Robert Downey Jr. was actually cast to play Lex Luthor in his never-made Superman movie.

McG says no final casting decisions had been made on the film, though he did mention one name that, we admit, we hadn't heard before. "We had Robert Downey Jr. locked up to be Lex Luthor, which I think would have been extraordinary," McG enthused. But his pick for the Big Blue Boyscout is actually much less of a surprise. "Ironically, we liked Henry Cavill a lot, but we hadn't cast him yet," he says of the actor currently wearing the tights in the upcoming "Man Of Steel." "J.J. wrote the script, and we got that to a really good place in the end," he says of the film, the first in a proposed trilogy. "But I'm to blame for [the film not happening]." It's interesting to hear that Henry Cavill was also close to being McG's choice to play Superman all those years ago.

Production continues on Zack Snyder’s reboot of the Superman cinematic franchise, Man Of Steel, and it turns out that there’s still room for a bit of extra casting. Variety is reporting that The West Wing star Richard Schiff (last seen in Johnny English Reborn) has signed up to play Doctor Emil Hamilton in the movie. The Doctor Hamilton in question is believed to be Emil Hamilton from the comics, although whether he’ll be spun as friend or foe of Superman’s isn’t clear. In recent years, Hamilton has been more of the latter than the former. The film is set for release on June 14th 2013. What do you guys think? Are we going to see S.T.A.R Labs in the film with possible Superman experimentation?!

UPDATE:  Rumor has already been de-bunked!!

The latest from the "mill" is that a cameo of Lex Luthor will make it into the Man of Steel played by none other than the Hangover Star, Bradley Cooper!

According to Cosmic BookNews, a tip informed them that after Cooper's role in the upcoming adaptation of Milton's Paradise Lost fell through, the actor was recruited to make what will simply be a cameo in the upcoming Superman reboot as the iconic industrialist who emphasizes the "mega" in megalomaniac.

This rumor is certainly unconfirmed, "take with a grain of salt" material. However, stranger things have happened, and director, Zack Snyder may realistically want to plant the seeds for a potential sequel by including a Luthor cameo. (Whether he is played by Cooper, or someone else.)

In a recent chat about her role in The Muppets and her upcoming role in Man of Steel, Amy Adams said, “Henry Cavill is very Kermitty! There is a humility to Henry and that’s one of the reasons his Superman is going to be so compelling. He has this beautiful face and humble spirit and that’s really a hard combination to come upon.” 

The Muppets opens on 10 February 2012, with Man Of Steel following on 14 June 2013.  

"Man of Steel Movie Trailer to Debut in Six Months (That's right! Half a year away, folks!). Warner Bros. will reveal the first trailer and new images this June to prepare for Superman’s highly anticipated return to the big-screen. Warner Bros. will begin promoting its Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot ‘Man of Steel’ a whole year before it’s 2013 release date. The studio had a similar strategy for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. The teaser trailer for that film debuted July 18, 2011, almost a year to the day of its July 20, 2012 scheduled release date. The ‘Man of Steel’ teaser trailer is set to debut on or before June 11th with official movie stills to appear in movie magazines and online before that date. Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon and Laurence Fishburne star in the superhero action-adventure. See the latest photos and movie posters for ‘Man of Steel’ below in the photo gallery. Born on the doomed planet Krypton, but raised on Earth, mild-mannered newspaper reporter Clark Kent (Cavill) must become the superhero known as “Superman” to defend the world against two other surviving Kryptonians, the tyrannical General Zod (Shannon) and his evil partner Faora (Antje Traue)."
