HENRY CAVILL

Henry Cavill As A Glasses-less Clark Kent On 'Man of Steel' Set

The big story of the day is that Clark Kent will wear contact lenses in director, Zack Snyder's Superman outing, 'Man of Steel.' Star of the film, Henry Cavill had some photos and videos taken of him while he was shooting scenes in the small city of Planos, Illinois. They can be viewed below, courtesy of the unofficial Facebook page for the film. A Clark without glasses is yet another little tweak of Snyder's film that deviates from tradition. For example, when Cavill is in his heroic attire as Superman, he's without his trademark red undies. None of this is anything to get too wild about, but somewhere, there's someone staging a boycott group. That group will form an alliance with the people who refuse to see 'The Dark Knight Rises' unless Anne Hathaway's Catwoman knits some ears and a tail onto her costume. A video of Cavill walking around the set as Clark is below as well, along with others which include helicopters flying around, and a segment from the local ABC news station. The segment reveals that even though a lot of interesting stuff is open to the public, some of the set has been closed off. That must be why the shots of Superman looking ready to thrown down with Faora (Antje Traue) are from such a distance. The cast of the film also includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and Diane Lane as Martha Kent. 'Man of Steel' is being prepped for a release date of June 14, 2013.
