Zach Synder's "Man of Steel" will be its time to take flight, hitting theaters in the summer of 2013 rather than the holiday season of 2012.
Warner Bros. made the announcement Wednesday, setting the release as June 14, 2013, although filming will still begin later this summer as planned.
"Man of Steel" will feature Henry Cavill ("Stardust") as Superman, Amy Adams ("Enchanted") as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Jonathan and Martha Kent and Michael Shannon (HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") as General Zod. Harry Lennix ("Dollhouse") will play play Sgt. Stanwick and Christopher Meloni ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") will play a general.
"The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is producing and helped develop the story with David S. Goyer, who wrote the screenplay.
With Warner Bros. working on Peter Jackson's two part "Hobbit" adaptation, the first film of which is set for release on Dec. 14, 2012, this move isn't a surprise. Warner Bros. is known for spacing out its tent pole projects, infamously delaying the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from November 2008 to July 2009 after the massive box office success of "The Dark Knight" the previous summer.
