The full article, which includes new quotes from Cavill, Snyder and Nolan, isn’t online yet, but here’s a tease from Cavill on his screentest, which included wearing a dated replica of Christopher Reeve’s classic Superman costume: “All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!”
Snyder disagreed saying that he may have laughed at how some other actors looked in the costume but felt that Cavill “exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.”
I don’t know that I’m 100% convinced in Cavill yet but I’ve been surprised before. What do you think? How does he stack up against Ryan Reynolds, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and this summer’s other superheroes?
