Even after several trailers and dozens of promo images, it's surprising how little we actually know about Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel

However, as Warner Bros.' latest Superman movie approaches its summer release, we have now learned that Clark Kent's photographer buddy and Daily Planet colleague Jimmy Olsen has been replaced by Jenny Olsen (played by Rebecca Buller). We've suspected this was the case for some time, but now it has been confirmed.

In an interesting twist, Screen Crush says that Jenny is not necessary a gender swap in that she is actually Jimmy Olsen's sister. But it stands to reason that if her position is the same as Jimmy's from the comics, then isn't that still just a gender swap?In either case, Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14.
