Candian Actor Mackenzie Gray stars in MAN OF STEEL and briefly spoke to JTM Games about his involvement with the film.
On the Suit and its Construction
Oh yeah, amount of detail on Superman is unbelievable. Superman’s costume, is a three-layer costume; there’s a body-skin layer and then there’s a muscle layer that was molded to Henry’s muscles – it’s a silver, metallic rubber – and then over that is a mesh skin so whenever he turns into light it looks like he’s made of steel. It’s just incredible, the design of the film is fantastic. All the concepts and the designs is just remarkable and they didn’t have to build fake muscles for Henry because he’s really built.
On the tone of the movie
I wouldn’t say it’s darker but more hyper-realistic. Maybe it’s got a bit of a darker tone; it’s not as comical, there’s no comical villains or anything like that. It’s a very realistic film, but with all the magic of Superman. For example, when he’s flying you’ll really believe that he’s flying and it’s really great how they did that. I really think that Man of Steel is a different take and it’s not going to be cartoonish. Zack Snyder has done such an amazing job with the film.
On Man Of Steel as a whole
Man of Steel is going to be an amazing film, it’s a total reboot of Superman; it’s as if there was no other Superman movies before it. It’s starting fresh with great performances in it too. Henry Cavill is an amazing Superman; Michael Shannon as General Zod is fantastic, Russel Crowe, Diane Lane, and Kevin Costner – I mean it’s an amazing cast. I’m not allowed to say what I’m playing as, it’s a big secret so I’ll keep that one to myself. But I can say that Man of Steel is a really amazing film. I think fans of Superman and great movies are going to love it equally.
