Tarsem has described his Immortals star Henry Cavill as the "perfect" choice to play Superman. British actor Cavill was cast in Zack Snyder's superhero reboot Man of Steel after playing Theseus in the 3D fantasy epic, which is released on Blu-ray and DVD this week."I think he's about the best Superman you could ever have," the filmmaker said.
"When I first saw him - this was before I knew he [auditioned] for Superman, because the last Superman had been made a year and a half before Immortals and tanked - I said, 'This is Clark Kent!'"
Tarsem, a former film school colleague of Man of Steel helmer Snyder, said that the Watchmen director would be "blind not to see how right he was for [the role]". "He's very gentle, manly, just everything was perfect for it," Tarsem said of Cavill. "He was so excited when he got it but I didn't doubt for a second that he wouldn't get it."
