Zack Snyder Shares ‘Pure Superman’ Photo As Cavill Outshines Gunn Again

by

Zack Snyder is continuing to tap into fans’ love for classic DC films. He recently posted a unique color Polaroid photo of Henry Cavill in his role as Superman.

The photo shows Cavill looking strong and self-assured in the Superman suit – the image many fans have of the character today.

And the timing continues to be impossible to ignore.

Cavill’s Superman Still Dominates Fan Energy

Snyder has been consistently sharing photos of Cavill, coinciding with a period of change for DC and a renewed wave of fan enthusiasm for Snyder’s previous work.

James Gunn’s new DC Universe and the Superman series have quickly lost momentum in terms of viewers and online fan activity. Interest on the Max streaming platform significantly decreased after the first few weeks.

Meanwhile, the fourth season of Netflix’s The Witcher is struggling without Henry Cavill, demonstrating his significant appeal to viewers.

Fans are noticing a pattern: Cavill still moves the needle. Every time.

Snyder’s Posts Keep Fueling Speculation

Despite reports that everyone had moved past Zack Snyder’s DC films and that he’d only consider a return for The Dark Knight Returns, the recent surge of photos featuring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Deathstroke, the Joker, and Batman has sparked speculation among fans. This timing, coinciding with Warner Bros. Discovery being up for sale and Netflix potentially acquiring the studio, leads some to believe Snyder may have inside knowledge he isn’t sharing.

Cavill’s Superman vs. Gunn’s Superman

The difference is becoming increasingly clear. Henry Cavill’s Superman movies were huge box office successes – just Man of Steel and Batman v Superman together earned significantly more money than the opening weekend for James Gunn’s new Superman film.

And it wasn’t just a flashy presentation. Black Adam—even though Henry Cavill only had a short appearance—actually did better than James Gunn’s Superman when it came to streaming numbers.

When Zack Snyder shares a photo of Henry Cavill and calls it “true Superman,” what message is he trying to convey?
