Full-Length Trailer 'Man of Steel' to Play Before 'The Hobbit'

Superman fanatics will get a longer look at Henry Cavill in the red and blue when the first full-length trailer for Warner Bros.' Man of Steel debuts before Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

"It's fun. I can't wait for The Hobbit, so it will be fun to see our crazy Man of Steel trailer and then enjoy the Hobbit because that's going to be great," Man of Steel director Zack Snyder confirmed to MTV News. "It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action."

Teaser trailers for Man of Steel (video below) were released earlier this summer, with footage of Superman breaking the sound barrier as he soars through the sky and monologues by Kal-El/Clark Kent's fathers on Krypton and Earth.

Snyder also shared some insight into Cavill and Michael Shannon, who plays the villain in the movie. "As serious as I was taking it -- and I don't mean that from a depressing kind of way, but from a 'this is important and fun and needs to be given the respect that it deserves [kind of way]' -- from that perspective it was exciting to watch them drink the Kool-Aid of that concept and go all the way," he said.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens Dec. 14.

Man of Steel is being released on June 14, 2013.
