MAN OF STEELA new "Man of Steel" trailer will be included with the December 14 release of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and MTV caught up with director Zack Snyder to get his thoughts on the Superman reboot and its cast.

"[Michael] Shannon is great, he has such great enthusiasm and dedication constantly," Snyder told MTV. "You can imagine that you could get actors who go, 'Oh right, it's Zod, it's not 100 percent serious,' or [you can play it] slightly with a wink, there is none of that with him. His effort is to make it realized and to understand this character and what he has to go through, so you have that on one side and you have Henry, who basically is Superman, on the other side and that dynamic."

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. has launched a promotional website for "The Dark Knight Rises" DVD/Blu-ray release that will unlock new "Man of Steel" content if shared enough over social networks.
