According to Brent, the mobile app serves as the hub of the entire program. The app will message activity in the store and allow users to take pictures with Superman (Henry Cavill) and share pictures. The app will also allow users to align with either Superman and Earth or General Zod and Krypton. Users’ choices will be plotted in a map of the U.S. to show how people are voting. There will also be a June 1 update to the app which will allow users to unlock different Kryptonian ships (revealing some new parts of the film).
