Henry Cavill IS Superman: - - - - Part 13

[Axl Van Sixx]

Call me crazy, but I'm getting a Clint Eastwood vibe from Henry's Superman in a couple of scenes we've seen in TV spots so far.

One is where he's facing off against Zod in flight ("You're a monster, Zod. And I'm going to stop you"). The other is when he saves the guy and asks if he's okay. The first is more relevant to my main argument, which is that this movie - as suggested by Snyder - will feature a tougher, more "badass" Superman.

I'm not saying that Cavill is intentionally mimicking Eastwood ... just that Clint is now so embedded in our cultural DNA as the ultimate movie "tough guy" that his performances continue to influence actors, maybe even subconscously. And that's not a bad thing. (Jackman's Wolverine is a good example, where any Eastwood influences are subtle and only serve to enhance the overall performance.)

I wouldn't say Clint Eastwood vibe but I totally see an effort by the filmmakers to make him less ethereal and more badass than the last movie presented the character.

^ One of the Walmart pics did look like Eastwood.
Also the shots of Superman walking through streets are totally like a Western stand-off

I've seen the Western Stand off of course (which looks awesome) and I've seen Cavill putting on his pimp face but nothing about it reminded me of Eastwood.

Indeed I remember making a bunch of RWaC gifs back in the day. I should probably make some more since I've gotten a lot better since then.

Did Cavill say that his american accent was midwest american?

 

[MrMaooz]

Yep.

 

[Poeman]

Fair to say his career will take off if the reviews are great for Cavill

^ Yeah I read he's currently jobless at the moment, reading a few projects here and there. If MOS and himself are very good, he has nothing to worry about.
