A new image from Justice League reveals a never-before-seen still featuring Superman (Henry Cavill) and Lois Lane (Amy Adams). It’s no secret that while Zack Snyder did get the sole credit for directing Warner Bros. and DC’s first ensemble project, it was Joss Whedon who had the last say on its theatrical cut - manning extensive reshoots which effectively whittled down Snyder’s original plan. Heroes’ arcs were grossly simplified including the Man of Steel.
Warner Bros. have yet to confirm what’s ahead for Cavill as Superman as there’s still no word of Man of Steel 2 or any future appearance for that matter. Cavill was reportedly out of the DCEU, but things got a bit complicated when the studio and the actor’s camp came out with their respective statements. His status continues to be in limbo, but that hasn’t stopped Snyder from releasing new information and images regarding the character’s cut arc in Justice League.
The latest Superman reveal from Snyder is a never-before-seen still with Clark Kent and Lois, presumably shortly after the superhero’s resurrection in Justice League. In the black and white image, the couple is looking out of the window more likely at the Kent family farm in Kansas. Check out the image below shared on the filmmaker’s Vero account:
Prior to this image, an image of Clark and Lois on the field from Justice League’s Snyder Cut was revealed. A short segment of the original scene was prominently used in the final trailer of Justice League where Clark asked Lois about the ring she was wearing - the one he was supposed to use to propose to her properly before his sacrificial death fighting Doomsday. Unfortunately, the sequence was heavily re-shot with the jarring orange filter added. Aside from the bad visuals, this latest image proves that there are more facets to Superman’s Kansas homecoming that didn’t make it on the big screen. It’s difficult to gauge what’s happening in this particular scene, but considering what’s been revealed regarding Superman’s original arc in the film, there’s a chance that it has something to do with his eventual evil turn at the end of the movie which was going to have something to do with Lois’ supposed demise.
The ongoing reveals from Snyder can only fuel people’s desire to see Justice League’s Snyder Cut. The ongoing “Release the Snyder Cut” movement continues to demand that Warner Bros. roll out the original cut of the film with Junkie XL’s initial score. Big name cast members Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, not to mention other prominent industry people have all expressed their support for the cause, but the studio remains mum about the issue. However, at this point, it’s probably for the better that they somehow acknowledge the growing campaign especially with the barrage of reveals from those who were involved in the project before it was overhauled.
