First Glorious Immortals Trailer Shows Us Our Next Superman

Every sword-and-sandals flick needs a great rallying cry. Immortals is no different.

?Fight for your future. Fight for your children. Fight for immortality!? Henry Cavill?s Theseus screams to his gathered troops in this new trailer for the film, which chronicles the Greek warrior?s battle against King Hyperion (played by Mickey Rourke).

It?s the first long look at the film from The Cell director Tarsem Singh, and it looks pretty good. The footage is gritty in the vein of 300 (that film?s producers also produced Immortals), but with the added flair necessary for a 3-D release.

The clip also gives an early glimpse at how Cavill looks as an action hero. He?s slated to play Clark Kent in Zack Snyder?s Superman reboot, Man of Steel, but Immortals will be moviegoers? first chance to see him as an action star.

Cavill aside, Rourke looks to be his typical grizzled, gnarly self as King Hyperion, the man whose army is tearing its way through Greece, and Slumdog Millionaire?s Freida Pinto is doing her best ?wise woman? as Phaedra.

Oh, and naturally the clip starts with a screeching, soaring eagle.

Immortals hits theaters Nov. 11.
