Director Zack Snyder's Instagram account is starting to appear like a box full of treasure, especially for those who have the keys to access it. 

Batman-News recently reported that the filmmaker posted a new photo from the highly anticipated film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in his private Instagram account. The photo shows Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) standing in a vast field in a place which is presumed to be near the Wayne Manor, with dark clouds noticeably looming in the sky. 

The report mentioned that it is usually Clay Enos, the set photographer of the upcoming film, who reposts Snyder's Instagram entries to let other people see the images from the private account. He was the one responsible for the release of Batman's alleged "war" attire where Affleck wears a coat and a pair of goggles on top of Wayne's mask. He also shared the picture of Snyder and his son Eli in what seems to be a confirmation of the rumors claiming that the high school football player will portray the role of Robin in the upcoming movie. 

But this time, Enos was not the one who reposted the photo. According to the fan-made website, the new "Batman v. Superman" still photo was reposted by one of the 251 Instagram followers of the film maker. This is why the validity of the photo is still unconfirmed at the moment. 

Meanwhile, the old rumors about Scoot McNairy's role in the upcoming superhero film have been rehashed. In 2014, speculations claimed that the actor will portray the role of Clark Kent/ Superman's (Henry Cavill) friend Jimmy Olsen. 

Rumors began when several photos of McNairy on set showed him wearing a pair of CG socks, which could mean that his character will have a special pair of legs, to be incorported during post-production. This was never confirmed by the actor or the film's camp. A new photo that was uploaded in the Heroic Hollywood website indicates that the earlier speculation could be accurate as the actor appeared in the courtroom scene featured in one of the "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" trailers. 

Warner Bros. has yet to confirm the validity of this report.

"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to premiere on March 25, 2016.
