Henry Cavill Superman EW Spread!
Pictures and quotes from the Entertainment Weekly Spread!
Henry Cavill on the scariness of auditioning for Superman.
"All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go: ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance,’” he says. “The actor inside me was going: 'You’re not ready! You’re not ready!"
Director Zack Snyder on Cavill being Superman.
“Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors,” says Snyder.
"If you can put on that suit and pull it off, that's an awesome achievement."
“Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow. Okay: This was Superman."
The star has revealed he had to turn Snyder's project 300 down because he was in contention to play Bond with the man who landed the spy role - Daniel Craig.
"I came very close. The choice was between a younger Bond and a Bond closer to his 30s, which is to say, Daniel Craig."
But now he's working with Snyder on the new Superman movie - seven years after he first planned to play the Man of Steel. He was up for the same superhero part when McG was on board to direct in 2004.
Cavill says "It was wonderful to have a second stab at a job - and as a wiser, older, more experienced actor."
Cavill also had this to say on telling his loved ones the news he had the job as Superman. "I was like, This is ridiculous! I've just been given the biggest job in history, and nobody's picking up their bloody phones."
The currently Untitled Superman Movie is scheduled for release in early December 2012. Directed by Zack Snyder from a story by Christopher Nolan & David Goyer with screenplay from David Goyer. Henry Cavill stars as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman. Produced by Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Charles Roven.
