I'm really glad that Cavill landed this role and was given the opportunity to play [frick]in' Superman. Much like with any huge role, especially major CBM roles, it's a daunting task to bring about a performance that can satisfy millions of fans and movie-goers world-wide. It's a huge responsibilty to have that type of position in your place and handling, but I honestly think and believe that Cavill has got what it takes to take the role of Superman to new and exciting heights. Plus, he honestly looks like he really cares for not just the role, but the character and the mythology behind the Man of Steel. And that goes for the rest of the cast and crew of Man of Steel.

So here's to you, Mr. Cavill....

Up, up, and away....

Either him or Fassbender for the next Bond. If playing Bond will take Cavill away from Superman, then I vote for Fassbender.
