The world is waiting in great expectation for June 14, when the wait is finally over for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Henry Cavill will be portraying the Man of steel, Clark Kent. Have a look at the latest epic trailer for Man of Steel and Can We Expect a Sequel?

It was only by chance that we watched The Count of Monte Cristo the other day, and we noticed young boy portraying the role of Albert Mondego. He looked very familiar, but we could barely recognize this young boy as the Superman we’ve seen in all the Man of Steel trailer. Let’s take a look at how Henry Cavill’s movie career progressed from 2001 up to now. You’ve probably seen him in some of these movies without knowing it is the new Superman:
