Zack Snyder has shared yet another new image of Henry Cavill as Superman, this time revealing an early Man of Steel costume test taken before the suit was finalized.
Posting the black-and-white photo to Instagram, Snyder explained: “Before the suit was finalized. An early Man of Steel costume test, shot on 4×5 black-and-white Polaroid.”
The image shows Cavill in a stripped-down, prototype version of the Superman suit, highlighting the texture and emblem work that would later be refined for the final film.
A Rare Look At Superman Before The Final Suit
The newly released image offers fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the development of Superman’s look for Man of Steel.
Costume tests like this are typically never seen publicly, making the post one of the more revealing pieces from Snyder’s recent wave of DC-era content.
The stark lighting and classic Polaroid format underline Snyder’s grounded, mythic approach to the character, long before visual effects and color grading were applied.
Snyder Previously Said He Looks Forward To Working With Cavill Again
The post also follows an earlier Snyder upload in which the filmmaker shared another Henry Cavill Superman image and commented that he looks forward to working more with the actor.
That remark immediately caught fans’ attention, especially amid ongoing speculation surrounding Warner Bros. Discovery’s future and the possibility of major changes tied to a potential sale.
While no project has been announced, Snyder’s repeated focus on Cavill — paired with comments about collaborating again — has kept interest high.
Snyder’s Superman Posts Continue To Draw Attention
Between new Man of Steel material, Justice League throwbacks, and now early costume tests, Snyder’s recent activity has been almost entirely centered on Superman.
Each new post adds context to his original vision and keeps Cavill’s portrayal at the center of the conversation.
