Man of Steel Fans Are Sharing Beautiful DCEU Shots To Celebrate Henry Cavill

Man of Steel fans are sharing beautiful DCEU shots on Twitter to celebrate star Henry Cavill. Released in 2013, Man of Steel marked the first Zack Snyder DC superhero film, introducing audiences to Cavill's take on Superman. The film was a hit commercially, earning over $668 million at the box office, but proved more divisive amongst critics, with the film currently sitting at a lackluster 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. Man of Steel chronicles Superman's origins, depicting the child's upbringing on Earth before he is forced to go to great lengths to protect the people of Earth after former inhabitants of Krypton invade.

Cavill would go on to appear in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League (and Zack Snyder's Justice League), but a sequel to Man of Steel never came to pass. Although fans have clamored for another standalone Superman film with Cavill playing the lead, no such project has yet come to fruition. Cavill himself has expressed a willingness to return to the role and even Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn, who was eager to make a Superman film before Man of Steel came out, has said that making Man of Steel 2 with Cavill is on the list of projects he hopes to make.

Although it's now been almost ten years since Man of Steel was released, many fans are still keen on seeing Cavill return to the role, as evidenced by the recent outpouring of love for the actor on Twitter. Searching "Henry Cavill" on the social media site will lead to dozens of photos of Cavill as Superman, including a number of fun behind-the-scenes shots from Man of Steel. Check out some of the fan tweets below:

While some tweets appear to be in response to an unfounded Superman-related rumor regarding the upcoming Black Adam, other users seem to be genuinely celebrating Cavill and Man of Steel. One user even goes so far as to say that Cavill's Superman is the best film character of all time. Another fan uses a hashtag calling for Warner Bros. to "#RestoreTheSnyderVerse," a sentiment that was born out of the successful fan petition to "Release the Snyder Cut" of 2017's critically-panned Justice League.

It's currently unclear if Cavill will ever get to reprise his role as Superman, but many fans are clearly still passionate about the character and feel that Man of Steel is deserving of a sequel. Warner Bros. has fairly definitively stated that they no longer intend to pursue the SnyderVerse, and a direct sequel to Man of Steel, at this point, does feel unlikely, but it's still certainly not impossible that Cavill will get to return as Superman in another form. After all, with Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton confirmed to be appearing in the upcoming The Flash as Batman, anything is possible.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
