Man Of Steel: 10 Easter Eggs That Were Secretly Foreshadowing

1. The Kryptonian Pod - Supergirl In The DCEU

It€™s a tiny moment in the film, but Clark€™s discovery of an open and empty pod within the Kryptonian scout ship sparked huge debate online. Who had been in that pod? Where are they now? And what is this foreshadowing? A prequel comic that preceded the film offered important information about the scout ship that can help answer some of those questions. In the prequel comic, it was revealed that Superman€™s cousin Kara Zor-El (AKA Supergirl) had piloted the scout ship on an expedition prior to the destruction of Krypton. Her task was to find a suitable planet to terraform and breed a load of new Kryptonians. Things went very wrong, though, and most of the crew died. Kara crash-landed the ship and was never seen again. These events €“ and the existence of an empty pod in Man Of Steel €“ seem to foreshadow the idea that Supergirl survived the crash, and left the scout ship long before Clark discovered it. Perhaps Warner Bros will eventually cast a new cinematic Supergirl, allowing them to follow up on this Easter Egg and add another Kryptonian hero the DCEU. She could either fight alongside Superman, or possibly even take his place in the event of his death (Henry Cavill will have to stop making these movies at some point, after all). Which Man Of Steel Easter Egg is your favourite? Did we miss any foreshadowing moments? Let us know in the comments€
