On a set visit for the upcoming Greek mythological film
,
Coming Soon talked with Henry Cavill - who will soon don the suit of Superman in Zack Snyder's
Man Of Steel. Of course, talk about
Superman came up, but instead of
Man Of Steel, Cavill briefly talked about a separate
Superman reboot that was in the works a few years (in which he was considered for the lead role) but was ultimately canceled. He also reveals just how close he was to playing the character then.
This may be strange, but every time Warner Bros. talks about rebooting Superman, your name keeps coming up. Has there ever been anything to that?
Yes, there was. A while ago now. Must have been four or five years ago, maybe more. McG was working on a script with them, and - I don't know how close I came, I'm not going to repeat rumors and hearsay. I understand it was very, very close. And sadly the movie was cancelled because, I understand, McG didn't want to fly. He certainly had a big fear of flying at the time and I think he's since overcome it. But he wanted to shoot in New York, they wanted to shoot in Australia, for obvious reasons, and he said, "No, I can't do it." These things happen, it's Hollywood.
