Superman fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. While the unofficial set of photographs for the upcoming movie in the series have been doing the rounds for sometime, now Warner Bros have officially unveiled the look of Henry Cavill as the new Man of Steel.
After the much-anticipated teaser for The Dark Knight Rises was unveiled by Warner Bros, fans had been waiting with bated breath for Henry Cavill’s Superman avtaar in Man of Steel.
The Zack Snyder movie will be a reboot of the series and stars Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne besides Henry Cavill.
The movie is being made at a budget of $175 million and its release date was pushed back from December 2012 to June 2013, which was surprising as the look of the new Superman was unveiled today.
Earlier the lead actor, Henry Cavill had said that he had to get into shape for the role, previously played by Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh, and he was eating “far more than usual” to gain the required muscle mass.
Apparently, Cavill is on a strict 5,000-calories-a-day diet that has him training two-and-a-half hours daily. The usually lean actor needs to pile on the pounds to suit the superhero’s buff look.
Being a British actor, Henry Cavill is inundated with questions about playing James Bond one day. Should the opportunity arrive, he says, he would leap at it.
