Henry Cavill Talks Man Of Steel And Comic Books By Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell on Mar 12, 2013 COMIC BOOK THERAPY

Yesterday we got a glimpse at Total Film’s special Man of Steel cover featuring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, and today we get a few interesting quotes from Cavill featured inside the magazine. The man who will bring Superman back to life on the big screen this summer touched on the films more grounded approach as well as his comic book knowledge.

The British actor said Man of Steel is Superman “for a modern age” and that the film tackles universal questions about Clark/Superman’s purpose in life. Overall, it’s going to be a grounded approach:

This is a Superman for a modern age. It’s not betraying anything that Superman is, but it is grounding everything in reality. It’s the story of this incredible being who can do incredible things, but whom we can associate with. Because he’s gone through troubling stuff and had to make tough choices.

Henry Cavill & Michael Shannon Talk ‘Man Of Steel,’ Superman & General Zod (FLICKS AND BITS)

Speaking to Total Film Magazine (quotes via CBM) for their “Heroes and Villains” cover story on ‘Man of Steel,’ both Henry Cavill (Superman/Clark Kent) and Michael Shannon (General Zod) shed some light on Zack Snyder’s much anticipated Superman reboot. ”Having gone to boarding school, I didn’t have a comic-book store nearby,” Cavill said when asked whether or not he grew up a fan of the iconic DC superhero. “But as soon as I was cast in the movie, that’s when I got my full, real introduction to Superman.” After plenty of reading and watching a pile of box sets, Cavill finally felt as if he had a good grip on the character. “I managed to piece together this character, maintaining that baseline and having all differences and nuances that our script adds. This is our own thing, Stand-alone. It’s about Superman, but we’re not copying from any one comic book in particular. And that’s a good thing, because its an origin-story.”

On the topic of General Zod, Michael Shannon said, “He’s not a villain. He’s not a villain any more than any other General fighting to protect his people. He doesn’t like to just hurt people and steal diamonds; he’s focused on being successful at his job.” Unlike Henry Cavill, Shannon didn’t look to the past for inspiration, saying instead that he wants to take this version of the character in a different direction altogether. “I think the way Terrence Stamp approached it – and this isn’t any kind if criticism of his performance – there was something kind of detached about it. Pure, hatred, rage, whatever… I think this [characterisation] is more ambiguous.” As for General Zod’s suit in ‘Man of Steel,’ Shannon emphasises that motion capture technology was necessary as, “the real thing would probably crush me.”  Pick up the latest issue of Total Film Magazine for more from Cavill and Shannon about ‘Man of Steel.’
