There was some public filming for the upcoming Superman & Lois TV series in Vancouver yesterday, and as such, photographers were able to get a few shots of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman while they were at it. There’s a whole gallery of such photos at Just Jared; you can find their entire gallery here.
A lot of these photos are a bit blurry and far away; according to @Canadagraphs on Twitter, crew was trying to keep people from seeing the suit, possibly unaware that an official release photo came out earlier in the day. (That picture is a lot clearer, and can be found here.)
Canadagraphs also has a great gallery of photos — and video, which you can find on his Patreon — and he had a description of the scene that Tyler was filming. Here’s that description, and if you want to read Canadagraphs’ full report and/or subscribe to his Patreon, you can do so here.
The scene literally consisted of just a massive explosion of dirt and debris coming from a little storefront in an area made to look like a non-U.S. area (they literally built this store front in a side lot on an alley just for this scene), scattering dozens of feet into the air, then a couple moments later, Superman comes out of the building that just blew up, and does his up up & away fly away move. For the first while they had his stunt double do the rehearsals as they worked on where the camera should be, and how fast to do the scene etc (quite normal for the film industry.), I snapped a few pics of him as you could see the bottom of the suit poking out from under his jacket. Eventually Tyler showed up, and they shot 4 takes of this explosion with him there, and a herd of crew members standing around holding umbrellas on a dry day.
In any event, here are a few selects from the Just Jared gallery; as mentioned before, you can find many more at their website. We’re especially partial to the “up, up and away” shot.
