US EditionZack Snyder Posts Henry Cavill’s Superman Test Photos In The “Original” Suit
Zack Snyder shared rare photos that helped convince Warner Bros. Henry Cavill was the right Superman for his DC Universe, marking the start of Cavill's iconic role.
- This year, Zack Snyder posted holiday photos of Henry Cavill wearing Christopher Reeve's original Superman suit, showing images he used to pitch Cavill to Warner Bros. for 2013's Man of Steel.
- Henry Cavill starred as Superman across three Snyder-era films: Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, which grossed close to $2.2 billion globally.
- The posted images show a test-like portrait of Cavill on a concrete pad beneath a blue sky, while a close-up reveals the suit’s traditional yellow belt and red shorts, contrasting with the darker, scaled Man of Steel film costume.
- Snyder framed the images as definitive proof, captioning that `It was undeniable,` and adding `everyone agreed: Henry Cavill was Superman`, calling it `That's where the journey began`.
- Context-first: The photos land amid a studio reboot that cast David Corenswet, as James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and Gunn called the timing `unfair` earlier this year.
