Man of Steel is a 2013 superhero movie that is inspired by the DC Comics character Superman. It is directed by Zack Snyder and is the first movie in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). It was written by Snyder, David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan.[1] It stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni and Russell Crowe.

The movie was filmed in Chicago and Vancouver. [2]

Man of Steel was released in theaters on June 14, 2013, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX.[3] The movie had divisive reviews from critics as some people liked the "darker, more realistic" retelling of Superman's origin story while others, who were used to a more joyful Superman, did not.[4] A follow-up movie titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released on March 25, 2016.
