GREAT SCOTT! CHRISTOPHER REEVE EASTER EGG IN THE MAN OF STEEL

#1 Edited by MB25 (301 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago - Show Bio

There's been mention that a classic Supermanmovie actor will be appearing in Zack Snyder's new Man of Steel movie. There's been one guess already, that AnnetteO'Toole has a voice-over in the latest trailer, but she may or may not be the only one as it could also be -- Christopher Reeve.The super sleuths over at SupermanJaviOlivares.com (viaSupermanHomePage) have spotted what looks to be the Superman III Christopher Reeve Clark Kent (right) in a Man Of Steel set video.

In the following video, we see an extra on the street in the exact same suit, wearing the same hat and carrying the same briefcase (see left).

They theorize this could give Henry Cavill's Clark Kent the idea to use the glasses.

We did see Cavill don the glasses in an elevator seen, but we've also heard Snyder seem to suggest that he won't be using them and that he's keeping it real. So perhaps not?

More than likely it's just an Easter Egg.

Still, super cool.

You do realize that Christopher Reeves passed a way a few years ago?

LOL! You all thought it was literally going to be Christopher ReevesI How about you all read the article again and get back to me. There are many many ways to get "Christopher Reeves" into Man of Steel as an easter egg. Just like how they got Marlon Brando in Superman Returns.

Please, think before you type
