October 31, 2017: Henry Cavill Talks About DCEU Movie Mistakes

In an interview with The Rake magazine, Henry Cavill talks in detail about his work in the DC Extended Universe of movies, "Mission Impossible 6" and his charity work.

In talking about the DC movies, Henry admits that the original vision for these films may have been misguided.

"Even if Marvel didn't exist, we'd struggle," he says. "There was a style they [DC] were going for, an attempt to be different and look at things from a slightly different perspective, which hasn't necessarily worked. Yes, it has made money but it has not been a critical success; it hasn't given everyone that sensation which superheroes should give the viewer."

"I think it is a wonderful time for the female hero. It is the perfect setting in social politics right now, we need it, we want that perspective, and Wonder Woman has struck at the ideal time and has become a phenomenal success, which is fantastic. Any success within the superhero universe, especially within the DC Universe, is wonderful, because I want to keep telling the Superman story; selfishly, that works for me."

"I feel like now the right mistakes have been made and they haven't been pandered [to], and we can start telling the stories in the way they need to be told. It is even better to come back from a mistake or stylistic error into the correct vein because it will make it seem that much stronger. Wonder Woman was the first step in the right direction."
