'Batman v Superman' Star Henry Cavill is a Spy in 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E' Trailer [VIDEO]

There is much excitement surrounding the upcoming DC film 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.' Fans recently got a glimpse of the new Batmobile as well as the costumes the superheroes will be wearing in the movie. The synopsis of the film has also been revealed to indicate "a new threat" will arise while Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) are in conflict.

It looks like audiences will see Cavill on the big screen before his highly anticipated return as Clark Kent. The English actor will appear alongside Armie Hammer in the spy flick 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E,' which has just released an exciting new trailer.

The movie is based on the popular 1960s TV series of the same name, and is set against the time of the Cold War. It features Cavill as CIA agent Napoleon Solo and Hammer as KGB agent Ilya Kuryakin.

An excerpt of the synopsis is as follows:

"Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, [Solo and Kuryakin] team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe."

The film is the latest project from 'Sherlock Holmes' director Guy Ritchie. It also features 'Ex Machina' actress Alicia Vikander as the spirited Gaby Teller, who isn't afraid to wrestle with the Russian agent. Elizabeth Debicki, who previously appeared in the 2013 adaptation of 'The Great Gatsby,' will star as the glamourous Victoria Vinciguerra.

'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' also stars Luca Calvani, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant. It will be released in theaters and IMAX on August 14, 2015.
