Russell Crowe Talks 'Complex' Man Of Steel

Russell Crowe has praised upcoming Superman reboot Zack Snyder was given a great deal of responsibility because, when it comes to comic-book heroes and superhero films, the top of the food chain is Superman.

"I think the biggest indicator for me of how it's looking is that the financier of the film has sent me gushing emails; he just loves it."

Crowe added: "I'm really looking forward to seeing it. It's a massive undertaking. It takes you on the ground to Krypton, it takes you to a planet where the sun is four times larger than ours and you get to experience that stuff.

"If you've seen the trailers you realise that this Superman is not just floating through the air held up by a wire. This Superman is super sonic. I'm really looking forward to the way that people will respond to it."

Producer Christopher Nolan has previously said the movie will make Superman "relatable and relevant".

Man Of Steel opens in cinemas on 14 June.
