Henry Cavill: I still have a lot to tell as Superman

The actor told ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ that he would love to put on the Man of Steel suit again.

Henry Cavill still hopes to put on the Superman cape for a future movie that continues where Man of Steel he stayed. The 38-year-old British actor says he’s interested in further exploring the character’s myth.

The star of The Witcher and of Mission Impossible: Impact he’s been Superman in three DC movies. Director Zack Snyder calls him “a warrior monk.” His colleague Christopher McQuarrie (Mission Impossible) sees him as “a classic movie star.”

At the moment, Cavill works on the reboot of the action and fantasy saga Highlander, but he will also reprise his role as Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes 2, and will be in the spy movie Argylle. Do not forget that the second season of The Witcher December 17th arrives. Now rumors put him in line to be the next James Bond.

In May, DC announced plans to produce a film with a Black superman. Cavill thinks it’s exciting. “He is much more than a skin color,” he says. It is an ideal. It is something extraordinary that lives in our hearts. Why not have multiple Superman? There are different narrative lines in the comics that happen at the same time ”.

That doesn’t mean you have given up hope of putting your superhero costume back on. “I still have a lot to tell as Superman, and I would love the opportunity“, He says. “Killing Zod gives us a reason why the character will never kill again. When he falls to the ground and screams after that, it wasn’t originally in the script, but I wanted to show his pain. He killed the last member of his kind. That is the decision you will never make again. There is an opportunity to grow from that, to explore Superman’s psyche as a profound and seemingly invulnerable demigod, but with real feelings inside. And as I always say, the cape is still in the closet. “

Cavill is able to immerse himself in the fate of Kal-El, a character he left years ago. His dog is named Kal. AND is also a video game fan who deliberately sought the role of Geralt de Rivia in The WitcherSimply because he is a fan of the books and games on which the Netflix series is based.

The show’s screenwriter, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, says Cavill knows he’s the first name of the cast, and that he could easily turn everything around him, but, much like Superman, that doesn’t happen. “Henry works hard to keep that from being the case. Arrive on time. You always know their dialogues. You always learn the choreography and you can count on him always being aware of what he has to do ”. (AND)
