In a recent interview with Blackfilm.com, actor Harry Lennix briefly spoke about his role as General Swanwick in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot, "Man of Steel". Here's what Lennix had to say:

Blackfilm.com: And I know you can't say much on "Man of Steel" but how exciting was it to get that role?
Harry Lennix: Oh man! "Man of Steel" is going to be a very big deal when it comes out in Christmas of 2013. I was like a kid in a candy shop. Superman has always been my favorite superhero, it's not even close. I guess a close second would be Spider-Man, but I've always been a fan of Superman since I was a little boy. As a teenager I saw the reboot with Christopher Reeve and I've watched that many, many times, and the second one with Christopher Reeve many, many times. To be a part of something this traditional and this foundational to the American myth is a great honor and I'm pleased to say I have a good role in it and I was honored to have been a part of the whole process.

You may notice that Lennix mentions that the film comes out during Christmas, 2013 but Warner Bros. have set a firm release date of June 14, 2013. Lennix may have been confused by the one-time rumors that suggested the film would be released during the Christmas, 2012 holiday season.

Alongside Lennix, "Man of Steel" also stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Joer-El, Ayelet Zurer as Lara Lor-Van, Kevin Costner as Jonathon 'Pa' Kent, Diane Lane as Martha 'Ma' Kent, Michael Shannon as Zod, Antje Traue as Faora, Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Richard Schiff as Dr. Emil Hamilton, Cooper Timberline as Clark Kent (Age 9), Jadin Gould as Lana Lang (age 13), Dylan Sprayberry as Clark Kent (age 13) and Robert Gerdisch as Whitney Fordham (age 14).
