Now that we’re done ranting and hyperventilating about the first trailer for “Jupiter Ascending,” one of the most hyped releases of 2014, it’s time to feast our eyes on a new photo from the film, of leading man Channing Tatum caught in mid-leap through the air.

You will find it in full above, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, which can’t help but have some fun at the expense of Tatum’s character.

In all fairness, even though the movie is dead-serious and super-complicated in plot, Tatum does look like he just leaped out of “Zoolander.”

“Jupiter Ascending” is the creation of the Wachowski brothers and is described by EW as “bonkers-looking.” That’s because it takes place in several worlds, as Tatum’s albino character, a “splice” (i.e. half man half wolf creature, but not a werewolf, probably because he’s an albino) fights to save the Queen of the Universe.

The film also stars Mila Kunis as said Queen, Sean Bean, he of the fame of dying in every movie in the first half hour, Douglas Booth, James D’Arcy, Tuppence Middleton, Tim Pigott-Smith, and Doona Bae. It will drop in theaters in July 2014.
