HENRY CAVILL TALKS ABOUT THE PRESSURE OF BEING SUPERMAN

SCREEN SLAM

Will Henry Cavill Make Superman Cool Again? By: Scott Johnson on March 24, 2013 (COMIC BOOK)

There was a time when Superman was the most famous superhero in the world. He might very well still be, but you wouldn’t know it in America. At Halloween, Batman and Iron Man costumes usually far outnumber the Superman costumes.

Of course, the success of other superheroes has largely been driven by the movies. The Batman movie franchise is by far the highest grossing box office superhero franchise in the U.S. with close to a $1.9 billion total gross. The Avengers franchise is next with a $1.7 billion total gross.


Where is poor Superman on the list? Well, he’s way down below Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron Man. Superman has only accumulated a paltry $518 million at the U.S. box office. The Dark Knight by itself made more than all the Superman movies combined at the box office.

Now, in fairness, most of the Superman movies were released in the seventies and the eighties before tickets prices reached the inflated levels where they sit today. But the fact that Superman has only had one movie in the last quarter century sort of proves the point of his waning popularity.

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY CASTING: HENRY CAVILL VS CHACE CRAWFORD (FAN SHARE)

 We recently did a search to see who Fifty Shades of Grey fans wanted to play Anastasia Steele in the big screen adaptation, with Emilia Clarke coming out on top. Now, we will search for who you want to play Christian Grey, starting by taking a look at Henry Cavill and Chace Crawford.

Henry Cavill

 Henry Cavill has slowly but surely worked his way up the fans list to play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. With all the hype surrounding Henry's upcoming movie Man of Steel, his following continues to grow. Henry Cavill recently opened up about the Fifty Shades of Grey rumours, stating that he would have to read the script first.

Chace Crawford

 While Chace Crawford does not have a huge backing by the fans, there are certainly those who would love to see him play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey film. Chace certainly has the physique to pull of the role and is a solid enough actor to carry such a large project. Chace Crawford recently admitted that he would be interested in the role, as it would show him in a new light and prove his diversity as an actor.

HENRY CAVILL: Man Of Steel EARLY Review - Henry Cavill IS Superman By: Scott Johnson on March 5, 2013 (COMIC BOOK)

As far as Henry Cavill’s performance, the reviewer states, “Henry Cavill is Superman to me now. I like his take on the character. I don’t really care necessarily how Superman/Clark Kent is in the comics. But Henry has a really good performance and brings a new Superman for the modern era. One who is powerful, strong, and inhumane in ability, yet also relatable and earns our sympathy.

Ever since Man of Steel started doing test screenings, early reviews have started leaking out. All the reviews seem to have one thing in common. They are all extremely positive. In fact, Nikki Finke of Deadline slipped in her own feedback on the Man of Steel in a post about Jack the Giant Slayer bombing. In mentioning upcoming movies, Finke referenced, “the hotly anticipated Man Of Steel which by many accounts overdelivers. (That’s the buzz following its first internal screening.)” We assume overdelivers is meant to be a good thing and that she isn’t criticizing the movie for being too good.

Another new anonymous review also recently showed up on a message board. Here are some spoiler free highlights. According to the reviewer, who professes to not being a comics fan, “The movie is good, and entertaining. I don’t think I’ll use hyperbole of calling it the best movie of the year two months in, but it’s a top five, if not top three, superhero movie.” The reviewer also adds, ” I think this is the best live action version of Superman and it does a great job of making him feel relatable.”
