The final trailer for Man of Steel is in the wild, and in case you thought the eagerly awaited Superman reboot was light on action, think again.

The clip starts out with foreboding music courtesy of Hans Zimmer and a voice-over by our DC superhero's dad, Jor-El (Russell Crowe) as he watches explosions on Krypton.

"Every person can be a force for good, free to forge his own destiny," he says as he sends young Kal-El on his intergalactic journey to his new home.

Jor-El's nemesis, General Zod (Michael Shannon), makes his entrance, at which point the trailer kicks into high gear with a series of epic thrills. Kal-El, now known on Earth as Clark Kent and played by  British thesp Henry Cavill, fulfills his destiny by becoming Superman and goes about saving humanity, not to mention gal-pal Lois Lane (Amy Adams), from his father's arch-enemy.

Man of Steel, helmed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), flies into theaters on June 14.
