First Photo of Henry Caville as the 'Man of Steel'

The actor gives a whole new meaning to 'Man of Steel.'

On the heels of the announcement that actor Laurence Fishburne will be playing Perry White in the upcoming 'Man of Steel' film, comes our very first look at the costume design for Superman.

No Caption Provided

Courtesy of Warner Brothers Pictures and Legendary Pictures, we got our very first look (and a hell of an action shot) of actor Henry Caville as 'Superman' from the upcoming 'Man of Steel' movie, currently in production and slated for a June 13th, 2013 release. The texture of the costume is completely different from any Superman suit we have seen, and the "S" insignia is slightly different, and looks a lot like a throw back to the original Superman suit. What do you guys think of the suit? Does Caville look like a convincing Superman? Full image below!

In a recent interview, Caville revealed that his training regimen for the Man of Steel has him consuming upwards of 5000 calories a day:

"I'm on 5000 calories a day... You've got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs...you've gotta keep your hunger levels going. I'm training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman."

And for those of you who are afraid that Supes won't sport his iconic hair curl, photos of Caville from Comic-Con may put those fears to rest:

I hate to say it, but he doesn't look like Superman to me. It's the face. And the hair. And the forehead.

I'm glad they kept the design suit format from Superman Returns. I still like Returns and glad to here a superman from will come out too. I also Like this guys picture of his has superman...now show me a trailer! 
 
I think its a good idea to have 2 different directions when it comes to superman. He can do everything, one weakness, yeah a story about a guy who limits himself in comics to run with others and then in movies who stations himself in one city...Yeah 2 different movies is like 2 different adventuring time period moments in his life. Sounds good to me, bring on the SUP Movies.

looks more like bizzaro for some reason, still think they should have brainwashed tom welling into doing the role.

Nothing's wrong with him. They just wanted to distance themselves from that continuity.

@danhimself: This photoshopped image looks way better. Let's just hope the movie won't turn out all gray and dull looking. 
 
But having said that, this screenshot looks promising. Henry Caville makes Superman look badass.

I think they did the lesser saturation for the pic cause of the nature of shot. I mean the broken vault and such. I'm pretty confident they'll do the high contrast/saturation for the rest of the film.

@lapis2:  
I understand your points, but I'm simply saying that if the superhero genre on screen has moved past a point of spandex being a believable material for superheroes.  Heck, even in mainstream comic books, the spandex is being phased out in favor of other materials.  I don't know HOW Superman or Spidey actually tailor their suits, and in all logic it's questionable why they'd think to do such a thing in the first place.  

Again, I'm just saying, even in superhero/comic book logic, if you had the choice and resources to make your superhero-ing suit out of spandex or out of some sterner-looking mesh material, I'd probably go with the latter.

Is it wrong that my first thought was that he could make a good Majestic? You know, it would be awesome if they did a Superman movie where they shot all the Clark scenes before the ridiculous workouts and the Superman scenes after. Maybe the next time they try this.

Since Jon Hamm would not be Supes, perhaps he could be a good Majestic?

I like the look, Superman is the boy scout but a pinch of bad ass would be fine. Needs a haircut though; Superman shouldn't have his hair teased.

Is it weird that so many of us are just wondering if he's wearing underwear on the outside(myself included)?
Here's hoping it goes well.

90s superman yeah ! ( THIS Movie my very well be well worth the wait ) since Chris Nolan is in some capacity of control of the script of the movie (and most likely Concept too !) so I think that it is in Good Hands .^_^

His hair looks funny and he doesn't resemble Superman. I am very disappointed with the casting of Superman but than again these are the same people that cast Laurence Fishburne to play Perry White its obvious that they have no clue what they are doing. I wouldn't be shock if the movie is worst than Superman Returns.They should of gone with Tom Welling. DC comics wonders why comics sales are down. 
 
I would cast him to play Bizarro.

I knew it. DC changed the suit and the origin of Superman for a movie. 73 years of history thrown away for $$$ and marketing. I hope DC Comics go bankrupt by bastards. I'm really angry. I hope the movie be a total failure

u think this is like a test pic they release to see the feedback,cuz im diggin the costume,scales a lil much but thts overlooked,'S' shield is a cross between earth-2 supes n normal one which looks pretty awesome.......they havta get the s curl on his forhead and the hair definitely has to be puffed up in the front n not slicked back n Cavill's already sporting a good form,if he keeps at it with the weights then thats gonna be one good/bad-ass looking superman!! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

1. 25 years. Not 73. Everything prior to Byrne's Man of Steel was also "thrown away".
2. Change of suit is related to reboot but is not the reason for it. Correlation is not causality.
3. GTFO hater.
