Last Updated on August 5, 2021

There’s been rumors flying regarding which movie will have the MAN OF STEEL trailer attached to it. Drum roll please…

The winner is….

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY!!!

You probably already guessed it. Here’s what director Zack Snyder revealed to MTV News, “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. It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action.”

Snyder also said some nice things about the performances of Michael Shannon and Henry Cavill: “Shannon is great, he has such great enthusiasm and dedication constantly. 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.”

I’m sure several of you will be checking out THE HOBBIT, myself included. I need my Gandalf fix.
