Snyder\u2019s post marks another addition to his recent series of behind-the-scenes DC film shares.<\/p>\n<p>The filmstrip reflects Snyder\u2019s preference for shooting Man of Steel and Batman v Superman on traditional film. His continued release of archival material comes years after Cavill\u2019s exit from the role and the conclusion of the Snyder-led DC Extended Universe.<\/p>\n<p>Snyder has publicly praised Cavill\u2019s portrayal since casting him. At the 2013 Man of Steel premiere, he said: \u201cWell, first of all, he\u2019s not horribly ugly. And he wasn\u2019t in bad shape. And then, he\u2019s a great actor, but he also has this other thing, this kind of earnest awesomeness that is unexplainable.\u201d Producer Deborah Snyder recalled Cavill\u2019s screen test: \u201cThe clincher was our suit wasn\u2019t ready, and we were doing a screen test, so we put him in the old Christopher Reeve suit. He put it on, stepped out of the trailer, and everyone was in awe of him\u201d (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/428735\/man-of-steel-zack-snyder-explains-why-he-cast-henry-cavill-to-play-superman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EOnline<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Cavill\u2019s Superman appeared in three major DC films\u2014Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and Justice League (2017), including Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League (2021).
