November 5, 2014: Holly Hunter Talks About "Batman v Superman"

The Wall Street Journal has published an interview with Holly Hunter ahead of her return to New York theater now that she's finished filming her role in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". In the interview she briefly talks about working on the film under Zack Snyder and what she thinks of Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck.

"It was really fun to be part of a giant, massive piece of machinery, headed up by Zack Snyder, who is thoroughly at home in that uber mega environment," she said. "Most people would have a nervous breakdown with that kind of pressure, and he's enthralled."

You've never been in this kind of blockbuster movie before. Why did you want to do it now?

Zack asked me. He came to me with an offer, and I was like, "Yeah, that would be fun." It's fun to mix it up.

Can you tell us anything about Superman? Or Batman?

I have scenes with Superman. He looks phenomenal. And to see Ben [Affleck, who plays Batman] and Henry [Cavill, who plays Superman] together is quite formidable. They are massive hunks of masculinity.

Can you tell me anything more?

No, of course not. I don't want anything to happen to my kids.

Ms. Hunter is now starring in a revival of David Rabe's Tony-winning play, "Sticks and Bones," with Bill Pullman, opening November 6 by the New Group at New York City's Signature Center.
