Additionally, in the NBC interview Cavill explained, "I love reading historical fiction and fantasy books, and if I got chosen to play those roles, I have such a connection with those characters that I have an in-depth knowledge of how they would be made into a real person. The opportunity is the same with Superman. It's absolutely fantastic because I've done all my reading and I'm really into the character.”

“I think you can either choose to accept, to focus on the pressure – and therefore, ultimately what you're focusing on is the celebrity aspect of achieving the role, as opposed to looking at the lore and reading the stories and having the opportunity to bring that to moving life,” he adds. “I'm avoiding the acknowledgement of the pressure because that'll kill me in the end. If you're holding the weight of the world up, you've just got to focus on the little speck on the floor in front of you and think of that, and don't think of the world on your shoulders.”
