I'm hoping Cavill has the acting chops (I thought he was just fine in the roles I've seen him in) to back up that charming personality. I have pretty high hopes for his performance in MOS after that last trailer. Not impossibly high hopes or anything. Last edited by I SEE SPIDEY; 04-29-2013 at 04:43 PM. |

Who knows, all I know is that I thank all the gods everyday for the fact that Zach didn't choose Joe Manganiello.
I still shudder at the thought.

Manganiello was never a good choice for Supes. He's just too animal.

Oh yeah I remember Manganiello. I think that he was tied up with his TV schedule, so couldn't make it to the audition. He would have made a fine Superman physically, but he would have gave off wrong vibe. Can you imagine him with Lois in that scene in the third trailer?

I did a little digging, going through tons of old bookmarks and came up with this gem:
Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane? No, It's The Playlist's Picks For The Cast Of Zack Snyder's 'Superman'! http://theplaylist.blogspot.co.uk/20...playlists.html They listed possible Superman: Matthew Bomer Henry Cavill Matthew Goode James Wolk Anderson Davis/Anyone Off The Street/An Unknown Because We Know You're Going To Ask: Brandon Routh Honorable Mentions: Scott Porter It was posted in 2010. So they were correct in Cavill and Goode aspect. They were however wrong about Lois,Perry and Jimmy casting. |

I would also have been happy with him, frankly. Even if it would have felt a little weird, since he's just barely older than me.

I like how Henry's presence as a nice guy is what edged him out. "But in the end, I think Henry just has this innocence too [in addition to the look and physicality required for the role]." Believe it or not, the CASTING of Cavill has Zack Snyder written all over it. Bale had already made a splash with Machinist and American Psycho. All Cavill had as a lead was Immortals. I think Snyder cares less about bank-ability than Nolan. And yes, I feel the A-list casting is more Nolanish, so there.

Then he should be advised to stay away from the Spidey boards.

Look what I found:
Henry Cavill: The Most Overlooked Man In Hollywood, Still Just Half A Step From Stardom: http://theplaylist.blogspot.co.uk/20...ed-man-in.html That was posted in 2009.The Playlist blog seems to be on the money. Cavill was overlooked for Green Lantern, Batman Begins, was upagainst Craig for the James Bond, and Twilight (lol). He was attached to McG's Superman before Singer took helm, he went as far as trying out costume made in Stan Wilson effect studio. |

Well, I'd like to think that was the universe's way of aligning the starts so that we could have this now

I don't know if Cavill auditioned for it, but he was considered.

All I have to say, is the title of this thread is my perfect viewing of this whole conversation:
HENRY CAVILL IS SUPERMAN! And I couldn't be more happier as a Supes fan! |

Losing one role can lead to a better one. I bet every well known actor who lost out on the Green Lantern role are happy as hell in hindsight. It just wasn't Cavill's time.

I was specifically thinking about Cooper because I didn't know whether or not Pine was really up for it.
I actually like Reynolds but I don't think he is ever going to "happen" like Cooper has. I'm rooting on him though. |
