Superman Goes To Washington: Exclusive Set Photos From MI

It's been an exciting last few weeks for fans eagerly anticipating Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice now filming in Detroit. Not only have we gotten a first look at Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent on set, but also at Superman himself.

Some of that filming took place at the old Wayne County Courthouse in downtown Detroit.

Photographer Randy Chiang was there, and has exclusively shared with us some new candids of Henry and the rest of the cast. Nothing too spoilery, but we do get to see Jesse Eisenberg and Holly Hunter on set for the first time. The pictures also pretty much confirm what we've been seeing in other photos, Superman is in Washington alright!

In the film Superman has a new slicked back hairstyle, so guess now we know how they keep Henry's curly hair in check. Tao Okamoto, Holly Hunter, Jesse Eisenberg, and Scoot McNairy were also spotted as they walked back and forth from that downtown Detroit set. 

 

Oh, hey Zack!

And who is this politician? anyone? we're told he was definitely a VIP, with a police escort and bodyguard both days he was there. UPDATE: Mystery solved. That's U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Thanks Ari Fantis (rprez2012). More from DCU Movie Page (knew we could count on you, thanks guys!)

@HenryCavillNews This Senator, he is a huge Batman fan https://t.co/Wovd5JJmpG he made cameos in TDKR, TDK, Batman TAS and Batman and Robin.

In case anyone still has doubts, that's appears to be a U.S. Capitol logo on the extra playing security that day. So Superman is definitely making a trip to Washington, but why? we'd like to hear your thoughts.  

And don't think we're done with the exclusives from that set just yet. On Thursday This weekend we'll have some pics that Henry's fans won't want to miss!

The BBC's David Fitzgerald getting us excited about the upcoming Gibraltar Rock Run. As you know Henry is participating in the October 25th run along with his brother Lieutenant Colonel Nik Cavill, who is a Royal Marine. They are raising funds for The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund for which Henry is an ambassador. So far your support has been amazing, but we need to take it up a notch if we want to get him to that £20,000 goal. This is his official fundraising page, where you can sponsor Henry and leave a message of support. We can get there if everyone pitches in!

Here is how donations are making a difference in this cause so close to Henry's heart.

Among the sites heavily involved in helping us spread the word about the run, is the Henry Cavill Jersey Facebook page. They recently talked to BBC Jersey's Kevin Pamplin about the run, and the cool raffle they're holding to help Henry reach his target -- LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW (at about 34:00). Thanks for all your hard work Sabrina, it's fans like you that make a real difference.

And the day is here, we have our two winners of a RMCTF t-shirt signed by Henry. Congratulations Maria Luisa and Lara! UPDATE 9/3: We didn't hear back from Lara, so the second t-shirt goes to Harry Osborn (JanexysOsborn) -- Thanks to everyone who participated and left encouraging messages for Henry. Please continue sharing the link to his official fundraising page to let him know we are here for him when it matters. We can't do it without you!
