The first image from the Wachowskis’ Jupiter Ascending has arrived online, featuring Channing Tatum in explosive action.
Tatum plays Caine in the new sci-fi, a genetically-engineered military hunter who arrives on Earth to track down Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a young woman destined for greatness.
Not that said destiny has made itself apparent by this point, with Jupiter dreaming her way through a tedious cleaning job, unaware of the cosmos-altering future that lies in store for her.
The new snap shows off the film’s pleasingly outlandish design aesthetic, with a heavily made-up Tatum clutching some sort of energy shield while dispersing a cloud of sparks from his legs. As one does.
Directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and co-starring Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth, Jupiter Ascending will open in the UK on 25 July 2014.
