MUMBAI: After a much eagerly awaited Super-Man reboot, Zack Synder‘s Man of Steel is all set to release on June 14. The movie will also be released in mainland China on June 20, according to a press release from the country‘s state-owned distribution agency.

The film is also debuting in Hong Kong on June 27 where the box office operates an independent distribution and exhibition system from mainland China.

Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures‘ Man of Steel which stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costnerand Diane Lane opens in the US and UK on June 14.
