Superman & Lois Embrace Above The Clouds In Man Of Steel Concept Art

Superman & Lois Embrace Above The Clouds In Man Of Steel Concept Art

Man of Steel storyboard artist Jay Oliva shares a piece of concept art that sees Superman and Lois embrace in mid-air. Produced by Christopher Nolan and written by David Goyer, director Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is considered to have ushered in what is now the DC Extended Universe. The film follows Kryptonian refugee, Kal-El Aka Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), as he struggles to find his place among humanity until a fellow extraterrestrial, General Zod (Michael Shannon), threatens Earth and forces him to become Superman.
As the first Superman film to release in nearly a decade, Man of Steel was met with a lot of criticism for departing from comic book lore (such as Superman’s stance on killing) and taking risks to contemporize and ground its central hero. Despite its divisiveness, Man of Steel went on to gross over $668 million at the worldwide box office and is now more than respected by the fandom. Arguably, much of the film’s enduring appeal is thanks to the pitch-perfect casting of Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as the investigative journalist, Lois Lane who, unlike in previous adaptations, figures out the former’s identity almost immediately as the pair embark on their own love story.
Oliva is a storyboard artist who has worked on several DC movies. Recently, Oliva shared a frame of Superman and Lois flying in Man of Steel. The piece sees Cavill and Adams’ characters embrace among the clouds. Check it out below:

Despite this concept art, the final cut of Man of Steel didn’t necessarily contain any Superman/Lois moments as magical as this (such as Superman: The Movie’s flying sequence in 1978), but Cavill and Adams’ work in the DCEU did right by their characters. Following Man of Steel, they reprised their roles in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, and Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max. The latter film serves as a culmination of a story that began in Man of Steel and, essentially a farewell for Superman and Lois. Irrespective of the Snyder Cut’s success, Warner Bros./DC Films have seemingly abandoned the so-called “Snyderverse,” along with Cavill and Adams’ characters.
With no Justice League or Man of Steel sequels in the works, the DCEU timeline is set to be reworked in The Flash, which will feature multiple Flash(s), Batmen, and Sasha Calle as the Kryptonian cousin of Superman, Supergirl. On top of that, Cavill and Adams are more than busy with other projects while a J.J. Abrams-produced film and a Michael B. Jordan-produced series on HBO Max look to reboot Superman. Still, many fans hope to see Cavill and Adams in a Man of Steel 2 and, following the Warner Bros.’ merger, Discovery views Superman as a top-shelf character they need to use. That said, as Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch’s iterations of the titular DC characters in The CW’s Superman & Lois are widely praised, it remains to be seen when the pair will take flight again on the big screen.
