Chatting with the press promoting this week's Immortals release, actor Henry Cavill expectedly discussed his leading 'Superman' role in Warner Bros.' highly-anticipated Man Of Steel reboot. Weighing in on potential criticism, set photos, keeping things confidential, and the "stylized" experience working with director Zack Snyder, read what Cavill says.
The British actor revealed to L.A.'s Daily News that the best thing about the Man Of Steel production is donning the iconic costume. However, when the first photos hit the web, he prepared himself for potential "haters."
"I block it out," he said. "You have to. Especially when it comes to whatever people want to say, and everyone's entitled to express their opinions. But you never know where an opinion's coming from or why it's coming in such a way. Sometimes it can affect you, certainly, so you have to be capable of taking everything with a pinch of salt. The nice stuff is nice. But it's like training. When you're training really, really hard and you're trying to achieve a certain look for your body, you look in the mirror and you ignore the good stuff because that's taken care of. It's only the stuff which you haven't quite got yet which you're panicking about. The same goes for any kind of Internet response or public response to a performance or the way I'm coming across."
Sitting in a separate interview with Jam Showbiz, Henry Cavill was questioned about thoughts on how recent set photos reveal, or rather hint at, details about the movie.
"Only so much you can do. You try to keep things private...As much as it does stimulate debate about what the plot is, I think it should be kept secret so it's exciting and new for people. Not so that they think, 'Oh, I saw so-and-so scratching their nose.' It removes you from the experience potentially. I quite like keeping the cards close to my chest."
And lastly, in another interview, now with SFGate, Cavill vaguely compared & contrasted the visual experience working with Zack Snyder & Immortals director Tarsem Singh.
"While Zack is very stylized; Tarsem is very artistic. Not to say Zack isn't artistic ... OK, watching that HDTV,"
he says, motioning to a screen in the room, "which is a masterwork in itself and seeing that painting on the wall, which is a masterwork in itself - they are both beautiful, they both affect you, and they are so entirely different. Like Zack is the TV and Tarsem the painting."
Man Of Steel, under Zack Snyder's direction, stars Henry Cavill (Clark Kent), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent), Michael Shannon (General Zod), Antje Traue (Faora), Julia Ormond (Lara Lor-Van), Russell Crowe (Jor-El), Harry Lennix (General Swanwick), with Christopher Meloni (Colonel Hardy) and Laurence Fishburne (Perry White).
