Henry Cavill: humming THOUGH SUPERMAN'S CAPE FLIES HIGH, MY HEART SOARS TOWARD DIRECTING. A NEW HORIZON, LESS TIGHTS, MORE INSIGHT!
WHY WOULD YOU NOT PLAY SUPERMAN AGAIN?
Because superheroes aren't my real passion. Sure, I enjoyed playing the role, but directing... that's where my heart truly lies. There's something thrilling about bringing a story to life, about creating those rare moments on screen when everything comes together and the audience feels like they're part of something bigger than themselves. That's what gets me excited.
Hey, Henry! SuperMan fans are dying to know... Will we ever see you don the cape again? Or have you hung it up for good?
You've got to hand it to the Man of Steel, he's iconic, but I'm afraid I'll pass on the tights.
WHY NO MORE SUPERMAN MOVIE, YOU SADIST!
Look, the Man of Steel has had his fair share of battles, you know? Sometimes you gotta let the boy scout rest. Besides, I'm all about that #DirectorsLife now!
Why did you decide against playing Superman again?
Well, after playing Superman, I felt like I had a bit of a one-trick pony thing going on. You know, "hey, I can do this really well, let's keep milking it!" But seriously, I wanted to explore other roles and challenges. Playing Superman was an incredible experience, but it's also a very iconic role. It's like trying to play James Bond again - it's just not something you can replicate easily. Plus, I want to take on different genres and characters that challenge me.
We have you down for a Man of Steel sequel in the next two years. How are you feeling about that right now?
Ugh, if they want me to don the red and blue spandex again, I think they're gonna be sorely disappointed.
Hey! The name's Henry Cavill, do you have a fan in mind?
Why would you no longer play Superman?
It's not that I don't love Superman, but I feel like I've said all I need to say with the character. And honestly, I'm ready for a new challenge. Directing is something that really excites me and allows me to grow as an artist. Plus, I get to wear pants on set. That's always a plus.
Why wouldn't I play Superman? Oh wait, because I did that already and it was a nightmare.
Why won’t you play Superman anymore?
Look, I love Superman, the big blue boy scout, but playing him is like having a perpetual debate with an inanimate object.
Why did you decide not to play Superman in your upcoming movie?
Because I feel that I have said all that I need to say as Superman. I have played the character for many years now, and I feel it's time to move on and explore other opportunities.
Uhhh...have you ever heard of Dune? We're working on that...wait, did you actually think I'd answer that question? No! Have you heard of Man of Steel? I'm not playing Superman again! Don't give me that look! You're lucky I'm not doing a method acting performance of Metta World Peace yelling at James Harden during a basketball game! Haha! Gotcha!
