In an interview in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, the critically acclaimed director of the Batman franchise and producer of Zack Snyder's Superman: The Man of Steel was quizzed on Henry Cavill's test for the role and how he think he'll do come 2012.
"Henry's a terrific choice as Superman. Other than having the look, he gave an incredible performance in the test we did and I think he's going to be something really extraordinary in the role."
Although Christopher Nolan has stated in recent interviews that he'll now be taking a step back from this movie to let Snyder do his thing, this does at least make it clear that he was involved in the casting process. Guess that explains why Tom Welling didn't get it, huh?
Superman: The Man of Steel is set to be released sometime during the Winter of 2012!
