Re: The Man of Steel
Henry Cavill talks about what makes MOS different from previous incarnations.
"We see so much on the news that's gruesome, to put Superman in the realm of fantasy, people won't buy it," he said. "And you want people to believe the story you're selling."
"I don't mean anything against the movies and TV shows that have come before, because they were of their time, but this is epically cool.
"People in the past have criticized the character for being a bit chocolate-box, a bit vanilla, and this is not that - at all.
"The lore is there that we're drawing from, but to create something from that which is reflective of life today - that's the trick."
Asked about being a Brit playing one of America's most iconic pop culture heroes, Cavill said: "I suppose it's a fluke. It's about who looks right for the character and for the generation it's being cast for.
"If you only look at the American market, you're narrowing down your options an awful lot. The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.
"Chris Hemsworth is an Australian man, not a god from Asgaard. It would be even more fluke-y if every person who was playing a superhero was American."
It's cool, the more people share it, the quicker we get our first look.
