Henry Cavill Hopes Not To Follow In The Footsteps Of SUPERMAN RETURNS' Brandon Routh

you have nothing to worry about henry

His looks itself looks better than Returns

He would be an awesome BOND

I do not think Thor could do this to Cavill's Superman

If Henry Cavill doesn't wanna play superman. He would make a great Clark Kent. ;)

It won't happen !!

The last trailer is already better than the entire Returns.

Superman Returns was very very very bad ... made by a bad director ... who killed X-Men and especially Cyclop and who'll kill the new franchise X-Men created by Vaughn and the future X-Men Days of Future Past !!!

He's not too young for Bond. Craig has 1-2 more films in him yet then Cavill would be the same age Craig was when he was cast...he was too young ten years ago though.

That's good that Cavill doesn't want to follow Routh's footsteps because I don't think it would be possible. No offense to Cavill but I don't think he can live up to Routh and his performance in Returns.

Singer ruined Routh's career for the time being... besides, Cavill had a more extensive resume than Routh to fall back on. If Snyder had did Superman Returns perhaps Routh would be the bigger star today.

EITHER WAY, Snyder should bring back Routh as Bizarro, created by Luthor and CADMUS from DNA left from the battle with General Zod, to close the loop from Superman Returns.

It's sad, but when I see Brandon's Superman now, all I can think of is that weird filipino guy that had all the surgery to look like Brandon's Superman. Creepy.

Superman returns pid to much of a homage to the 70s superman but this is a different beast and Canill will totally own the character

Cavil is very charismatic and will win over audiences everywhere

"Cavill IS SUPERMAN!" "Cavill IS SUPERMAN!" Amazing how people keep saying that crap BEFORE they even see the film. Same thing was said about Routh and about Garfield with Spider-Man. Every generation has their own VERSION of these heroes but there will never be any one actor to be THE version of a superhero. EVER.

Routh is on a new show on CBS called "Partners". I haven't seen it, he's not a good actor at all, one magazine dubbed him "The Poor Mans Keanu Reeves" lol. Aside from having a resemblance to Christopher Reeve, Brandon had no right starring in that movie. Its pretty apparent that he wasn't up to par when it came to acting because he has like 5 lines in the whole movie, i know the writers were basically re-writing the movie through out the entire shoot, so they probably restructured the script to be carried by Kevin Spacey. That was the first thing i said to myself after i saw SR, "Mannn, he was barely in the movie."

Henry is a good actor, i remember seeing him in "The count of monte cristo" like 10 years ago and i was like ya kno if this kid was a little older he really would be a good superman...provided he can do an american accent lol. I know he was casted by McG but i do remember reading an article with the costume designer in which he said he felt that Superman needed to played by a man and not a kid, henry was only 21 at the time.

Dear Henry,
Despite my crush on you- I can objectively say you have nothing to worry about. Brandon Routh cannot act. He can do a mediocre Chris Reeve impersonation and a sub par gay man impersonation. He does have a hot wife so kudos to him for that but otherwise Henry you'll be just fine. Now- as for next project....ummm yeah you can lead the Justice League against the forces of Darkseid.
Thanks,

Nice. I love how you're tearing apart the Empire article into little pieces and using it for hits. It's not like we can all go to MrCavill.com and click on the scans that they made of the entire article. And singling out an entire CBM post just to diss on Brandon Routh's career? Loved it. It's not like he's a human being instead of an emotionless comodity.
