November 10, 2014: Michael Shannon Says Flying is Physically Demanding

Cavill and Shannon While Henry Cavill was photographed seemingly floating above the streets of Chicago this past weekend for production on "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", Michael Shannon (who played Zod in "Man of Steel") says that being in a flying harness and rig, and making it look as effortless as Henry does, is very hard work.

    "The only time in the movie I got in a harness was when I learned to fly," Shannon said Saturday as he co-hosted a fundraiser for A Red Orchid Theatre, the theater he co-founded in 1993, at The Underground. "It was very difficult work. It was very physically demanding. You can't just sit in the harness and expect it to do all the work. You're not going to look like you're flying. You have to pay attention to what your feet and legs are doing. It's like dancing.

    "But I had a blast making that movie. I love (director) Zack Snyder - great guy. I love Henry Cavill."

Michael Shannon and Henry Cavill reunited this past weekend, when Cavill stopped by the Underground on Saturday night (as seen in the attached photograph).
