"When Zack (Snyder) and I were talking about it the first time, he was saying how Superman, they want to give it a more edgy feel like The Dark Knight but also make it more realistic and emotional so it's not just the all-american superhero that saves everyone. He has dilemmas and love and struggles throughout the whole movie, especially when he's a kid."
And on participating in the movie,
"It was really great. I didn't even really notice how big it was until I finished shooting. It was so overwhelming that it was crazy, I was like "I can't believe I just did all that." In the moment, I was really focused on the work and the acting."
Along with Henry Cavill who is playing the man of steel himself the movie also stars a couple of Hollywood's heavyweights Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe as well as Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Julia Ormond and Michael Shannon and is directed by Zack Snyder and is due to hit theatres middle of June 2013.
