Zack Snyder Shares Unreleased Photo Of Henry Cavill As Clark Kent, Cooking A Spicy Pizza Pie

Director Zack Snyder has shared what seems to be a brand new picture of Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, aka Superman. But is Clark cooking a spicy pizza pie in the picture? We investigate.

The simple pic was posted on Snyder’s Vero account on July 12 with the caption, “This came up on my time line.” And while it could be a picture of Cavill right after he’s done building a gaming computer to play Warhammer 40,000, it does look like it’s for Clark Kent from Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, or Justice League. In fact, with Zack Snyder’s Justice League likely heading to theaters in some fashion in the future, this could simply be a way of keeping the conversation going, leading into that release.

Pure speculation, though! But to take the speculation one step further… If that is Cavill as Kent, what is he doing in the picture? Is it cooking a spicy pizza pie, with a spicy meat-a-ball and all of the toppings? Take a look for yourself:

Cavill has an apron on and is holding a towel. So it’s distinctly possible he’s waiting for the spicy pizza sauce to get to a nice simmer on his range top, while the pizza dough sits on the side, doubling in size until he can toss it out into a nice round. However, I’ll note that none of the sauce is on the apron, and he’s not wearing a big, cartoonish chef’s hat. Nor does he have a twirly Italian mustache in the picture (maybe they CGI-ed it out?). And he’s not pinching his thumb and forefinger together and bringing them to his mouth to give them a little kiss — a chef’s kiss, if you will.

So chances are, this isn’t Clark Kent making da pasta, or cooking da pizza. Instead, some fans have guessed he’s wearing the apron because he’s doing some farm work on the Kent’s farm. But in fact, just to puncture the entire premise of this piece and be real for a second, this is likely a behind-the-scenes shot from Man of Steel, from the scene where Clark works at a bar. If you don’t remember the movie, at that point, he’s traveling around the world to find his origins and gets into a scuffle with some rowdy bar-goers. As revenge, he punctures their truck with logs. The scene is all filmed in medium shots, so this is the best I can do — but it’s clearly the same outfit:

Moments after this (which takes place about 30 minutes in the film), Clark gets beer poured on him, takes off his apron, leaves, and then absolutely obliterates that truck. Take that, truck!

Anyway, this was a long way of fleshing out an article on “Zack Snyder posts a picture” but now I hope we’re all hungry for pizza. I know I am.
