The newly-released trailer teases an intriguing life of the titular character, who has been warned about playing a dangerous game, but refuses to back down, AceShowbiz said. Coming from David S. Goyer who co-wrote two superhero films "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Man of Steel", the historical fantasy series is set to present the "untold' story of the world's greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence."
