Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder Talk Superman
Among the topics of discussion: Cavill’s audition, which included shooting a screen test wearing a replica of Christopher Reeve’s once impressive, now dated Superman suit. “If you can put on that suit and pull it off,” says Snyder, ‘that’s an awesome achievement.” Cavill was feeling less than super in the moment, at least about his ability to fill out the costume: He had just finished shooting a film with Bruce Willis called The Cold Light Of Day, and the part required to him to shed the impressive abs of steel and muscle tone he had put on for the movie he made right before that, the forthcoming mythic fantasy Immortals. As an assistant helped to him put on the Super-suit, Cavill recalls: “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 saw something — or rather someone — different. “He walked out, and no one laughed,” says the director. “Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.’”
They should do a series of moves and I agree that Superman needs to get more physical.
Superman: The Man of Steel- Lex Luthor/Metallo
Superman:???-Zod, Ursa & Non
Superman:???- Brainiac
Superman:Doomsday- Doomsday
Superman: Apocalypse- Darkseid
Now that's how I would like it :D
I also wouldn't rule out Lobo
" @Dracade102: Nobody wants to see a bald guy holding some kryptonite, they wanna see METALLO a ROBOT who has a kryptonite for a heart and can punch Supes. "
I think it'd be interesting if they put Intergang in the films. So you've got the somewhat normal crime syndicate running things, and an easy-ish way to introduce the earth-bound threats like Metallo and Parasite. If Brainiac's the villain, they should keep him alive for sequels too. Then in the second film, Lex and perhaps Zod again but with the residual threat of villains from the first film. Third film, because there's been Intergang in the films so far, perhaps bring in Darkseid or another powerful alien character like Mongul? I understand the New Gods mythos is rather rich itself and might detract from the focus on Superman, so...
Yeah. He can pose a big enough threat while having less mythology behind him compared to Darkseid. The mythology of characters like Lex, Zod and Brainiac being enough to keep them interesting for a film or so, Darkseid's probably being enough to create a series of New God films.
Ive always thought it should go like this:
Lex luthor as primary villian for the first movie (Yeah I know people are sick of him but bear with me). Possibly, to add in some nice fight scenes, give him his suit or hired muscle like metallo.
For the second film, have no real mention of Lex at all. Let another villain shine. Brainiac or another alien adversary, like MONGUL, would be perfect. For this film, you could sneak in superman's rogue gallery with cameos like he can be taking parasite to prison or something. Also at the end of the movie, hint at doomsday.
The third film Doomsday is the enemy ( In my dream world this would have Been a Superman centric justice league movie with all the heroes fighting against him but thats never going to happen). Anyways, to make it a little simpler for casual movie goers Lex could be integrated into doomsdays arrival. Lex Luthor finds a kryptonian spaceship similar to superman's. Using his tech he genetically modifies/ or revives the 'creature' in the pod to use him against superman. Doomsday will be the primary villain but somebody else can be the secondary villain for superman to fight. At the end, instead of 'dying; or whatever Superman simply goes into a deep coma.
For the fourth movie Zod, Ursa, and Non should be introduced. Kind of like Allstar superman, they came to earth in supermans absence.
@buttersdaman000:
.....Cool, but no Lex Luthor.
" @AtPhantom said:No...NEVAAAA" @Primmaster64 said:I second that. Lex > Metallo. "" @Dracade102: Nobody wants to see a bald guy holding some kryptonite, they wanna see METALLO a ROBOT who has a kryptonite for a heart and can punch Supes. "I want to see a bald guy holding some kryptonite. "
" @Dracade102: Nobody wants to see a bald guy holding some kryptonite, they wanna see METALLO a ROBOT who has a kryptonite for a heart and can punch Supes. "
Nobody wants metallo either,seriously lame villian,cyborg superman showed him how to do it right.
i'd rather see lex preaching about humanity's greatness over metallo and his crush for lois.
