As dark and brooding as the new Superman is, the actor behind the cape is actually quite a happy, jovial fellow. At Comic-Con 2016, actor Henry Cavill went around the convention wearing a Guy Fawkes mask without anyone knowing.

He then arrived at the Suicide Squad autograph signing booth and feigned being an avid fan. As Will Smith, who played Deadshot in the upcoming Suicide Squad, took a picture, Cavill revealed himself. Check out the recorded evidence from Cavill’s own Instagram account.

Henry Cavill can next be seen in the upcoming Justice League. Though Superman died in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the character is set to be resurrected for the superhero team-up.
