It’s still a mystery why this particular hashtag trended so quickly and to this extent, but Snyder has every reason to support it considering his history with the DCEU star.
In a new release on Twitter, Justice League director Zack Snyder showed his support for the #HenryCavillSuperman movement that swelled in popularity in recent days. Snyder included an old behind-the-scenes photo of Cavill while simply stating “Henry Cavill is Superman” in the tweet below

Zack Snyder was the director on 2013’s Man of Steel, which was not only Henry Cavill’s first DCEU appearance as Superman, but also the DCEU’s first film. The success of that first movie helped kickstart the franchise with eight subsequent movies, two of them featuring Cavill as the last son of Krypton among the rest of the team.
