The 33-year-old only captioned the photo with “#Superman” but fans quickly caught on to what this suit might mean for the movie.
According to People, the black suit appeared in The Death and Return of Superman comics from 1992-1993. The comic details Superman’s death after losing a battle with Doomsday, a villain from the DC Comics universe. Anyone who has seen Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice may be familiar with this. Eventually, Clark Kent returns from the grave wearing the black suit with a silver “S” as his emblem.
