HENRY CAVILL: His Take on Superman, Man of Steel

Cineplex magazine has conducted an interview with actor Henry Cavill, in which he talks briefly on his role as Superman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, coming to theatres next summer. “What I can say is that it’s a modernization of the character and a very realistic view of one, obviously, very fantastic individual,” he said. “It’s an unreal situation, but it’s approached from a very practical viewpoint. We wanted to make the character easier to identify with. It’s important to do the role justice. There are a lot of people relying on me to do this well. I gladly accept that responsibility, and it’s a great one to have because it’s a wonderful opportunity. I don’t let the pressures get to me because that’s going to hinder my performance and, therefore, let people down. So I choose to ignore the pressure side of it and focus on doing justice to Superman.”
