Zack Snyder Shares Color Photos of Henry Cavill in Christopher Reeve’s Superman Suit

Snyder says the photo convinced Warner Bros. that Cavill was Superman.

Overview

  • The director posted bright color versions on Instagram on Dec. 26 of two shots from an outdoor costume test.
  • One image shows a full-body stance, and the other is a closer frame highlighting Cavill’s face and the “S” emblem.
  • The photos revisit the classic suit associated with Christopher Reeve that Cavill tried during early Man of Steel casting.
  • Snyder’s captions call the moment undeniable and describe it as the start of Cavill’s Superman journey.
