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.

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:

Not impressed. Superman isn't an action hero and going in this direction is a bad thing in my opinion. Superman is a shining beacon of peace, calm, and hope for a better future. I liked everything about Superman Returns except for the crisis. DO everything in that movie again but make the bad guy suitably epic. Braniac, or Darkseid or something. Enough with Zod and Lex.

Looks good to me.  Definitely has the right 'feel' to it.  I notice you can't tell if he's wearing underwear-on-the-outside from the photo, to spark some good ole' fanboy debate!  Snyder knows his audience!  ;  )

Superman isn't an American :D He's a Kryptonian. I like the fact a Brit is playing him, and that has nothing to do with the fact I'm a Brit myself....>_>

Are you sure that's a set pic? Looks like an enthusiastic trick-or-treater :) 
 
Seriously though, good find. Looks like the Kent house to me.
