Henry Cavill signed for the DC Comics factory to play Superman in 2013 when we saw him in ‘Man of Steel’. He was the premiere of him donning the kryptonite superhero suit and then he took the character by storm and made a name for himself in the Hollywood industry. But… how was your casting for the role?
We have rescued a photo on social networks of how he looked at the audition dressed as Superman, and we have been surprised that he had practically no muscle. The image is truly amazing and shows the incredible effort he had to put in in the months afterward to become a strong and very muscular Superman, which is the memory we have of him now. In fact, many consider him the best Superman of all time, even above the late Christopher Reeve. Do you agree?
“Nobody laughed at Henry Cavill when he put on the Superman suit”
Curiously, according to director Zack Snyder, Henry Cavill took over the role of Superman because “nobody laughed when they saw him wearing the suit and cape. Other actors put it on and they seemed like jokes with legs, talents aside,” explains the filmmaker. And he continues: “Henry put it on, and he suddenly had that kind of cool self-confidence that made me think, ‘Okay, go ahead, this guy is our Superman.’
