November 8, 2011: Audio Interview with Henry Cavill

Man of Steel Collider.com managed to snag a one-on-one telephone interview with Henry Cavill ahead of this week's release of his new film "Immortals", and also asked him about his work on "Man of Steel". Here's a few excerpts from the interview...

    Q: I know you can't get into specifics on Man of Steel, but what has surprised you about making the film thus far?

    Cavill: I haven't had any surprises. It's a really long shoot. The stuff we were shooting in Chicago...it feels like an age ago, it feels like a different movie altogether. I've been a part of this project for a while and been in pre-production since April. It's fantastic. You get fully immersed in the world. It's a wonderful experience.

    Q: Did you read any of the Superman runs? Did you watch any of the Christopher Reeve movies? What did you try to take in from the previous material that's been released and possibly incorporate into your version of Clark Kent/the Man of Steel?

    Cavill: I avoided watching anything which was someone else's interpretation of the source material. I didn't go back to the movies and watch them. I didn't go back to the TV series and watch them. I didn't want to take that and have that influence my interpretation and my performance of the character. Where the character truly belongs and where the character truly comes from is not from the movies or the TV shows; it's from the comic books. So I went straight to the comic books and had stacks of them and just read and read and read and read and read. I enjoyed so much learning about the character in such a dense manner. The comic books were my source of material; the TV shows and movies were someone else's interpretation and so I left that to them.
