Henry Cavill got his fame for playing Superman in the DC universe. As the actor took on the role in 2013’s Man of Steel, he once felt that Justice League was when his character finally aligned a bit more with his comic book counterpart. While the world will no longer see him as Karl El in the new DCU, read on to find out when he felt his character had a ‘rebirth’.
The world was shocked after it was announced that Cavill would not be seen donning the red cape in the new DCU. Being one of the most loved characters from the superhero fandom, the studio also faced backlash for the decision. Interestingly enough, Cavill’s Superman differed from other live-action interpretations of the character’s mythology as it was more accepted by the public and a part of a more optimistic world.
During a conversation with Interview Magazine, Henry Cavill disagreed with the idea that his Clark Kent was darker than other Superman projects. However, the actor felt that his character matched the DC comics and the natural evolution of the character that started with Man of Steel and Batman Vs Superman. “In my opinion, this is the first time we see Superman in truth. We have seen the origin story of Superman. We have seen the downfall and doubt of Superman,” said Henry Cavill.
