August 13, 2015: Henry Cavill Talks About the Complexity of Superman

Angry Superman In an interview with The Guardian Henry Cavill speaks about the complexity of the Superman character, the ridiculous thought of being typecast, and the richness of the character.

    "It's a wonderful role. There's a huge potential there for complex storytelling, and I'm looking forward to exploring those avenues. Come on, it's Superman! You can't be pissed off at the idea of playing Superman for the rest of your life." He mimics a grumpypants actor: "'Oh sorry, I'm just the grandaddy of all superheroes. It's such a pain.'"

    Cavill's Superman is the most troubled of any that has yet been seen - a hero forced to hide his light under a bushel, an immortal plagued by survivor's guilt. "He's a complex dude," he agrees. "People think Kryptonite can beat him. No. The only thing that can really beat Superman is Superman. His own noggin messing with him. His own moral choices. When you have that to start with, the storytelling can really delve into something rich."

You can read the full interview (which does have a few expletives) at The Guardian website.
