Watch a behind-the-scenes video from the Man of Steel DVD and Blu-ray release.

Man of Steel has premiered a new behind-the-scenes clip exclusively through Digital Spy.

The minute-long video, which will appear on the upcoming Man of Steel DVD and Blu-ray release, looks at how director Zack Snyder and his visual effects team made Henry Cavill take flight.

The British actor is shown being suspended from wire and gimbal rigs in front of a green screen as a starting point for the comic book hero’s supersonic flight.

“In the film, you’re going to see Superman flying faster than he’s ever flown before,” said stuntman Ryan Watson. “It’s hard to come up with those speeds.”

Man of Steel will debut on DVD, Blu-ray and download on November 12 in the US and December 2 in the UK.
