More behind the scenes pics of Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” surfaces the web today. These are pretty controversial pics too.
See Superman, Faora, and a mysterious villain in a mo-cap costume standing next to Faora. Check them out, here.
As you can see in the AICN talkbacks, people are bashing the new Superman costume. Superman got rid of his red underwear and the yellow belt that he’s known to wear. I hope I’m not the only one that likes the idea because it doesn’t hurt to change Superman’s looks and image for once.
The same Superman look does get old after a while don’t you think? I warned ya before that Zack Snyder is making all kinds of changes with the Superman franchise. The reason for the new look that Zack wants to give this movie a current feel, so the film is looking like it’s taken place in our current time.
On top of that, there are plenty of Superman comic books where he didn’t have the red trunks. Seriously, look it up if you don’t believe me. The new comics decided to put blue jeans on him. So I can tell that DC is getting bored with the same look as well.
I love the Faora costume though who is played by Antje Traue, a German actress. There are similarities to Urtha.
As for the mysterious mo-cap costume, what is a mo-cap, some of you may ask? For those who don’t understand films that much. You wear mo-caps all over you as it picks up on a computer creating an animated character. A mo-cap suit may look silly on set but it is needed to create the character.

Whatever the mo-cap character is, it’s definitely not General Zod. I’m hoping that character is Brainiac or Metallo. It could be either one of them.
Back to the Superman costume, I’m in favor of it. I’m willing to give it a try. That new look of Superman, gives him a new personality. It makes him look tougher and makes him more human looking. They wanted to give it a realistic feeling. Zack said many times he wanted this film to be realistic and different.
I’m loving what I’m seeing so far. Can’t wait to see what Michael Shannon is going to look like as Zod.
Look like they are all done casting. Look like they won’t use Lex Luthor or Jimmy Olsen at all. That’s okay though, I’m fine with that.
