In an interview with Variety, Henry Cavill talks about why he loves and why it is important to play the character of Superman. This is what Henry had to say,
โIโve always been a fan of Superman,โ said Cavill, who is 37. โWith a character like that, you carry the mantle with you off set. And it becomes part of your public representation. When you meet children, children donโt necessarily see me as Henry Cavill, but they might see Superman, and thereโs a responsibility which comes with that. Because itโs such a wonderful character, itโs actually a responsibility Iโm happy to have, and I hope that I get to play more of Superman in years to come.
โMy life has changed dramatically because of it,โ
Cavill continues,
โAnd it has given me plenty of opportunity for roles, and yeah, itโs been one of those characters which changed the entire course of my career. Iโm incredibly grateful for it, and itโs also taught me a lot about myself.โ
โHeโs so good, heโs so kind, and when you start to compare yourself to him because youโre playing him, you start to really look inwards,โ Cavill said. โYou say, โAm I a good person? Can I be a good enough person to play Superman?โ And if you ever hear a whisper in there which is like, โHmm, hold on a second. Maybe not,โ then you adjust it, and you make sure you are a better person. I think thatโs all we can do in life.โ
Cavill was even asked about his thoughts on Zack Snyder finally getting to release his version of Justice League,
โIโm just really happy that Zack got to realize his vision. I think itโs important for a filmmaker & storyteller to have their intended vision released & shown to the world. Iโm looking forward to seeing it. Itโs been quite the ordealโ
When I first read this interview it put a big smile on my face because of how much Henry Cavill cared for the character of Superman and it shows in Man of Steel. Also, Henry Cavill wants to play Superman more made me smile even harder. Warner Brother has to make a Man of Steel Sequel and after this interview, we might get that announcement pretty soon. That it will happen; maybe DC FanDome!
