Man of Steel was a fantastic starting point for the DCEU back in 2013, but all did not love the film. The critics were divisive and the majority of the fans loved it. Just as any film ever made, Man of Steel had its flaws. In a recent interview with Cineplex for his upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, actor Henry Cavill spoke about the mixed reviews that came out for his first outing as Superman. “The reception of my first Superman movie, from what I’ve read, was fairly mixed,” he says. “Everyone I’ve spoken to enjoyed the movie, but [not] unlike if you’re going to meet a stranger in the street, they’re not going to badmouth you to your face. There’s no intentional move, I don’t think, in Batman v. Superman to address any issues that people had with Man of Steel. It’s just a continuation of that storyline and they continue to develop that world and introduce new characters.” Its good to know that they aren't backtracking and that they've accepted what happened with Man of Steel.
Cavill went on to talk about the aspect of a different Superman in the world that comes with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and how he's ready to explore his character of Superman to even greater levels. “I think maybe people may look down on some popular-culture stuff, but they’re actually very complicated and interesting characters,” Cavill stated. "Superman especially, he’s just wonderfully rich and one of those things, for me, that’s just enjoyable to play. There’s so far you can go with it; if you really, really delve deep into the character, there’s so much you can do. It’s just about exploring it within the vehicles and finding what you want to do. He’s going to have some very interesting character development in this one.” Many believe that Batman v Superman will focus more on Ben Affleck's Batman, but from what it sounds like, we might get more of Superman than we anticipated. What do you think about what Cavill said? Are you excited to explore Superman more?
