Henry Cavill: ‘Batman V Superman’ Will See Superman Answer For ‘Man Of Steel’ Destruction [SPOILERS]

INQUISITOR
August 23, 2014



It appears Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will address the much talked about destruction Superman laid on Metropolis following an epic battle with General Zod. Director Zack Snyder — who is at the helm of both films — was heavily criticized for the final scene of Man of Steel, which showed a city in ruins and turned off many fans.

If you remember, Superman (Henry Cavill) has finally had it with the vicious General Zod (Michael Shannon) and doesn’t hold back when the two meet in Metropolis, and the villain tries to destroy all that Superman holds dear, including his mother, Martha Kent (Diane Lane). An epic battle ensues and nobody is spared; buildings are destroyed and glass is shattered as the two superhumans fight it out.



Some spoilers may follow, so beware before you continue to read.

According to Batman News, the Washington, D.C. scene we will see in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directly related to the havoc brought on by Superman’s fury. This is how the website describes the insider info they have:

“A major action scene was shot in July in one of the big studios in Detroit. Without giving too much away…it involves Superman and the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. Superman will have to answer for what happened at the end of Man of Steel. Half the public blames him for all the death and destruction. If it wasn’t for Superman being there, General Zod would have never come to Earth.”

Henry Cavill: Is Man Of Steel an Oscar contender?

Could Henry Cavill pick up the Best Actor award at the 2013 Oscars? No.

YAHOO
By Gregory Wakeman | Yahoo Contributor Network – Wed, Dec 18, 2013 17:24 GMT

Gravity,' 'Inside Llewyn Davis' and '12 Years A Slave,' have wowed critics and audiences alike over the last 12 months to almost universal levels of acclaim. But this hasn't stopped 'Man Of Steel', despite its comparatively mixed reception, from launching its own For Your Consideration page ahead of the upcoming awards season.

Warner Bros. are now hoping that it will compete in a number of categories at the Critics Choice, Golden Globes, Writer & Directors Guild of America and Academy Awards ceremonies over the next few months.



These include the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling sections.

They also fancy a dabble in the acting sections too, with Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishbourne and Russell Crowe all expected to contest in these sections.

But what chance does it have of actually competing for any of these accolades?



Personally, I can't see 'Man Of Steel' stemming the snobbish tide that has seen superheroes ignored by the Academy Awards and its various competitors over the last 13 years.

Since 'X-Men' legitimised the genre in 2000, 38 films have received just 22 nominations at the Oscars, going on to win a paltry 3 awards. And most of them were for the less respected gongs too.



The only successes came courtesy of 'The Dark Knight's' Sound Editing, Visual Effects and Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal as The Joker, which, even though it was obviously brilliant, rode a sympathetic wave to glory a year after his untimely passing. This is despite the fact that superheroes have dominated the cinematic landscape over the last decade and a half.

HENRY CAVILL: Box office report: 'Man of Steel' scores super $125.1 million debut, breaks June record by Grady Smith (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY)

man-of-steel-09.jpg

Faster than a speeding bullet, Warner Bros.’ $225 million franchise reboot Man of Steel has become a box office behemoth.

The superhero film began its run with a massive $125.1 million ($113.1 million over the traditional weekend, $12 million from corporate screening programs on Thursday), breaking the record for the biggest June opening weekend ever, ahead of Toy Story 3‘s $110.3 million bow in 2010.  Among 2013 films, Man of Steel had the second best debut of the year behind Iron Man 3, which started with $174.1 million in May.

Man of Steel garnered a fantastic $29,731 per theater average from its 4,207 locations. The film grossed $13.3 million in IMAX theaters, and 41% of its business came from 3D ticket sales. Audiences were 56 percent male and 44 percent female, a more even gender distribution than Iron Man 3, which had a 61/39 percent male/female split on opening weekend. The dashing looks of Henry Cavill (and Amy Adams’ appeal) no doubt helped Man of Steel play well with women. Reviews were mixed, but crowds issued the film a strong “A-” CinemaScore.

For Cavill, Adams, and the rest of the cast — which includes Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, and Michael Shannon — Man of Steel became their best ever opening weekend. The same goes for director Zack Snyder, who formerly saw gigantic numbers when 300 bowed with $70.9 million in 2007.

Man of Steel also clobbered the debut of 2006′s Superman Returns, which opened with $52.5 million and earned $200 million domestically against a $270 million budget. Widely considered a box office misfire, Superman Returns did not, in fact, return. In about one week, Man of Steel will likely have surpassed that film’s domestic total.

The news couldn’t be better for Warner Bros., which — with the exceptions of The Great Gatsby and 42 — has badly struggled at the box office in 2013. Films like Jack the Giant Slayer, The Hangover Part III, Beautiful Creatures, Bullet to the Head, and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone have massively under-performed at the box office, so Man of Steel‘s success is a welcome change. “We’re thrilled,” says Dan Fellman, the studio’s president of domestic distribution, “and it will fly through the summer. We’re going to have legs on this film.”

Fellman also notes that Man of Steel‘s success brings Warner Bros. and DC Comics one step closer to creating a Justice League franchise that might rival Marvel/Disney’s Avengers. The exec wouldn’t confirm whether Henry Cavill has already been contracted to star in Justice League films, though he did coyly remark, “Henry will be around for a while.”

Internationally, Man of Steel soared with $71.6 million in its first weekend, including $17.6 million in the United Kingdom and $9.8 million in Mexico. The film has yet to open in a number of large markets, but it’s already clear that it will easily outdo Superman Returns $191 million international haul.

Henry Cavill: NEW Superman Trailer - Papa Kent gives his son Clark advice BY: BRAD BREVET PUBLISHED: MONDAY, MAY 6TH 2013 AT 11:36 AM (ROPE OF SILICON)


Henry Cavill in Man of Steel Photo: Warner Bros.

Henry Cavill: Zack Snyder Talks ‘Man Of Steel’ & The Character Of Superman: “He’s A Christlike Figure”



In recent chat with the LA Times, Zack Snyder opened up about his eagerly awaited Superman movie, ‘Man of Steel.’ Long before the director began making the film, he’d heard a little piece of comic-book trivia that stuck with him: Superman’s red-and-yellow S-shield is the second-most-recognized symbol in the world, surpassed only by the Christian cross. “Whether that’s completely true or not, I don’t know, but you want it to be true. You feel like it could be true,” Snyder told the outlet. “And it’s intimidating to say, ‘We’re going to take on the “S” and we’re going to make it live again.’”

Reviving the world’s first comic-book superhero on the big screen — he recently turned 75 — is no small task, a challenge Zack Snyder was well aware of, “In the comic-book universe, you have all these sort of minor celebrities that have been put up as the end-all, be-all,” Snyder said, including past films that have featured Green Lantern, Ghost Rider and the Punisher among others. “And then you have the fallen king who’s sadly relegated to the shadows. It’s cool to resurrect him and say, ‘Understand that this is the granddaddy of all superheroes.’”

Henry Cavill’s ‘Man of Steel’ incarnation of Clark Kent/Superman lives in today’s world, not an idyllic, sepia-tinged past nor a gleaming, glossy future. “It’s the most realistic movie I’ve made. There’s no tongue in anyone’s cheek. I’m not apologizing for Superman in any way. I’m saying, ‘Superman is a thing that must be taken seriously and embraced and understood.’” Snyder continued, “We tried not to make him so predictably morally black and white. We gave him some shades of gray. His inherent goodness is still there, and if you really think about it, you still want him to be right and to make the right choices and to do the right thing. I think that we all hope for that in ourselves, and I think that’s what always has made him a very interesting character. He’s a Christlike figure. There’s no two ways about it.”

Alongside Henry Cavill in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent , the key cast for ‘Man of Steel’ includes Oscar nominee Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Oscar nominee Michael Shannon as General Zod, Academy Award winner Kevin Costner as Superman/Clarke’s adoptive father Jonathan Kent, Oscar nominee Diane Lane as Superman/Clarke’s adoptive mother Martha Kent, Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Antje Traue as Faora, Ayelet Zurer as Superman’s Kryptonian mother Lara Lor-Van, Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick, Michael Kelly as Steve Lombard, Richard Shiff as Dr. Emil Hamilton, and Academy Award winner Russell Crowe as Jor-El; Superman’s Kryptonian father.

Arriving in cinemas on June 14th, ‘Man of Steel’ is from director Zack Snyder and producers Charles Roven, Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy) from a story by Goyer and Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics.  The official synopsis and production notes for ‘Man of Steel’ can be read below.

NEW MAN OF STEEL STILLS & PRODUCTION PHOTOS FEATURING HENRY CAVILL & AMY ADAMS (DAILY BLAM)


BY PIETRO FILIPPONI
PUBLISHED: MARCH 15, 2013 - 8:22AM


This summer, Warner Bros Pictures releases their highly anticipated reboot of the Superman film franchise from director Zack Snyder (300) and producers Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy).

Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel features Henry Cavill in the role of DC Comics' popular hero Superman. The film also stars three-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (The Fighter) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do with It) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent's adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (Unfaithful) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves).



Henry Cavill & Michael Shannon Talk ‘Man Of Steel,’ Superman & General Zod (FLICKS AND BITS)



Speaking to Total Film Magazine (quotes via CBM) for their “Heroes and Villains” cover story on ‘Man of Steel,’ both Henry Cavill (Superman/Clark Kent) and Michael Shannon (General Zod) shed some light on Zack Snyder’s much anticipated Superman reboot. ”Having gone to boarding school, I didn’t have a comic-book store nearby,” Cavill said when asked whether or not he grew up a fan of the iconic DC superhero. “But as soon as I was cast in the movie, that’s when I got my full, real introduction to Superman.” After plenty of reading and watching a pile of box sets, Cavill finally felt as if he had a good grip on the character. “I managed to piece together this character, maintaining that baseline and having all differences and nuances that our script adds. This is our own thing, Stand-alone. It’s about Superman, but we’re not copying from any one comic book in particular. And that’s a good thing, because its an origin-story.”

On the topic of General Zod, Michael Shannon said, “He’s not a villain. He’s not a villain any more than any other General fighting to protect his people. He doesn’t like to just hurt people and steal diamonds; he’s focused on being successful at his job.” Unlike Henry Cavill, Shannon didn’t look to the past for inspiration, saying instead that he wants to take this version of the character in a different direction altogether. “I think the way Terrence Stamp approached it – and this isn’t any kind if criticism of his performance – there was something kind of detached about it. Pure, hatred, rage, whatever… I think this [characterisation] is more ambiguous.” As for General Zod’s suit in ‘Man of Steel,’ Shannon emphasises that motion capture technology was necessary as, “the real thing would probably crush me.”  Pick up the latest issue of Total Film Magazine for more from Cavill and Shannon about ‘Man of Steel.’

Henry Cavill Speaks On ‘Man Of Steel’ & Wearing Superman’s Iconic Costume (FLICKS AND BITS)



Talking to Total Film magazine for their “Summer Blockbuster Preview” issue, Henry Cavill opened up about play the dual role of playing Clark Kent/Superman in Zack Snyder’s hugely anticipated ’Man of Steel.’ On wearing Superman’s suit, the actor said, “I love wearing the suit! You put it on every morning and you feel fantastic. I mean, you’re wearing a Superman suit, for goodness sake!” Asked how long it took to get into costume, Cavill revealed, “It took the team about 15 minutes each day. They struggled hard…let’s just say we became very close!”

On what he tried to accomplish with the part, Henry Cavill said, “This is not a movie about Zack Snyder directing something, or Henry Cavill playing a character…It’s a selfless movie about a character who is going through what he is going through. He wants to do the right thing, but he’s fallible, like the rest of us. He messes up, and that makes us love him more.” Finally, on the ‘Justice League’ rumours, Cavill said, ” A decision’s being made, I’m sure, post opening weekend!” Check out the latest of issue of Total Film magazine for the full interview.

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.
