Henry Cavill suits up for 'Batman v Superman
Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck star in Warner Bros. "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
On Thursday, Warner Bros. shared
the first image of Cavill suited up as Superman, with the "S" on his
chest firmly in place as he stares through a grim-looking rain.
The photo comes just a few days after Cavill was spotted on the set of "Batman v Superman" dressed as Superman's alter-ego, Clark Kent.
"The more time I spend with Henry, the more he's Superman to me," director Zack Snyder told USA Today of the British actor, who made his debut as the high-flying hero in 2013's "Man of Steel."
Now, with the "Man of
Steel" sequel "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," Cavill and Snyder
are eager to stretch the Kryptonian's identity, examining who he is as a
protector of Metropolis and as an everyday gent. He'll still be working
with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) at the
Daily Planet, but he'll also find himself moving into Gotham City, where
Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) presents a threat.
"We've both created this guy, and we can push him around a little bit," Snyder said.
But will it be Ben
Affleck's Batman doing the pushing? After all, this will be the first
time that Batman and Superman are on the big screen together.
Snyder wouldn't say, but
he did point out that the movie title's spelling is intentional. Using a
"v" instead of a "vs" was "to keep it from being a straight 'versus'
movie, even in the most subtle way," he told the paper. "It's never
really been done and it's kinda cool."
"Dawn of Justice" also
brings in a number of other characters, including Wonder Woman (Gal
Gadot) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). As for Affleck's Batman, Snyder told the
paper fans should expect a weary, seasoned take on the character. "It's
cooler to see a crusty old Batman beating the snot out of guys," Snyder
said.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is currently in production, and scheduled for a May 6, 2016 release
