Henry Cavill Screen-Tested for Man of Steel in Christopher Reeve's Iconic Superman Suit!

The Man of Steel Superman costume is a perfectly fine rendition of Superman’s classic look, if a little muted in color. But somewhere in an alternate world Henry Cavill took to the silver screen in the classic Superman costume of the original comics, just like Christoper Reeve, and I bet it looked as fantastic as this image teases.

The shot of Cavill comes from Snyder’s account on the social media app Vero, where the director is wont to share many cool tidbits from behind the scenes of his various DCEU movies. It was taken during Cavill’s first screen test for his first Superman movie by Snyder, before the final Man of Steel costume was actually completed.
