Zack Snyder shares early photo of Henry Cavill as Superman on 15th anniversary

Gamesradar reports that Zack Snyder has shared a rare early photograph of Henry Cavill as Superman, taken a couple of years before the release of Man of Steel. Snyder wrote on Instagram, "15 years ago, on this day, I pressed the shutter and met Superman. The first photo I ever took of Henry Cavill – moments before he stepped into legend. Shot on my Nikon."

The post comes amid ongoing debate within the DC fandom, with opposing sides arguing online over which movie is better, Man of Steel or Superman, and even debating who would win in a fight between the two versions of the character; the jury is still out on that one. The share has prompted nostalgia for the defunct DCEU.

Snyder is working on his next film, The Last Photograph, which will follow an ex-DEA operative searching for his missing, recently orphaned niece and nephew with the help of a war photographer, and will reunite him with Rebel Moon actors Stuart Martin and Fra Fee and 300 writer Kurt Johnstad. Separately, the new DCU's next release is Supergirl, set for June 26.
