Any fan of Henry Cavill would agree that his embodiment of Superman in Man of Steel was nothing short of otherworldly. With his sharp jawline and somber gaze, the British actor served as the quintessential Clark Kent. Well, that and some picture-perfect VFX work, made his DC debut for an engaging watch and won him millions of fans worldwide. Particularly, a little one who went viral a decade ago. 

After Man of Steel came out in 2013, a video of a baby watching Cavill’s first-ever flight sequence surfaced on YouTube. From following every twist and turn of Superman’s flowing cape to raising his arms when Cavill did, the toddler’s actions were certainly amusing. Today, the video, which went viral back then, resurfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter) through a user who came to love it like most other DC fanatics.

Earlier, Twitterati celebrated the film completing a decade in June this year. With this adorable clip reappearing, Cavill’s fans were overjoyed at having something to celebrate amidst the dry spell since then. Especially since the Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice actor has now been replaced by David Corenswet for his superhero part. What better way to remember the iconic flick than through the eyes of the excited toddler?

Like the baby who kept repeatedly saying “wow” while watching the clip, netizens were equally awe-struck by the spectacle. They poured their love for it into the comments section as well.

Twitterati adores the baby’s reactions to Henry Cavill in Man of Steel

As the clip ended with an “again” request from the baby’s family, The Witcher actor’s fans wished they could see him take on his Superman role again. Alas, the British actor has already been replaced by David Corenswet who was earlier ridiculed on X by Cavill’s fans. However, this time instead of singing the 40-year-old’s praises, the spotlight was on the baby who stole the show with its adorable antics. 

One user was thrilled to see the little “Superman fan” join the club. Another fan reminisced about watching “Superman fly for the first time” as a kid.

According to one user, Cavill’s was the best “first flight” sequence of all. Meanwhile, another user found the scene inspirational.

Who would have thought that even a baby would recognize the magic that Henry Cavill once brought to DC?
