Henry Cavill Discusses Why a Brit Can Play Superman

During Sunday's media day to promote the epic Greek hero film Immortals in which Henry plays Theseus, he was certainly asked about his role of Superman in Man of Steel. Cavill's lips were sealed tight to not to reveal plots or the smallest of details, but he discussed with io9 why a Brit can portray the “Boy in Blue,” drawing a comparison to Superman's own alien origins.
It is an iconic American role... well, he's an American icon. Whether it's an American role or not, I can't be sure. Superman is a universal image, and what he stands for is very universal. He was certainly raised in America, but he in himself is not necessarily American, because he comes from somewhere very far away and very different, and he is very different. And therefore all the more beautiful when he tries to do so much for all of us who are so different from him.
As io9 points out, Cavill was very tight on any details about Man of Steel, but they did have a humorous discussion about Cavill's hair in the movie.
This is my hair. The style? [Slowly] Yes... there's only so much I can say. It varies. What you've seen is what you've seen, if you've seen anything online. And who knows how different the finished product will be? How's that for a non-answer?
There you have it everyone. Superman's hair styles may be varied in Man of Steel.
Man of Steel flies into theaters June 14, 2013 and stars Henry Cavill as Superman/ Clark Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Antje Traue as Faora, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Ayelet Zurer as Lara Lor-Van, Kevin Costner as Pa Kent, Diane Lane as Ma Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick, and Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy.
