A fan Q&A with Snyder has been published on the social film network Letterboxd. One question was whether the director cries every time he watches the one Man of Steel scene with Kevin Costner. Snyder replied:
All the Costner scenes bring tears to my eyes. I get pretty tearful at: ‘You are my son.’ Costner is simply amazing in this film.

In a particularly dramatic scene, a tornado approaches Jonathan, which he prefers to be caught in instead of being saved by Clark.
