Well, I don't want say too much about it, because they are long way out. They are at the beginning of that (post-production) process, really, and it doesn't come out for another year. But, I think what Zack and Henry are doing with the character is going to make a pretty remarkable impression.
When asked about getting the role of Superman, Henry Cavill told the magazine about his whereabouts when Zack Snyder decided to let him know that he would play the lead role.
“There’s no better feeling than to get that call. Actually, I was at home when the phone rang. It was an unknown number and I ignored it, then looked down and saw it was Zack Snyder. I was like ‘Oh my God!’ and he’d hung up at that stage. Fortunately, he called back.”
He also discussed the importance of doing Superman's character justice, as quite a number of fans have disliked the most recent interpretations of the character from 2006's Superman Returns (played by Brandon Routh) and last year's Smallville finale (played by Tom Welling).
“It’s important to do the role justice. There are a lot of people relying on me to do this well. I gladly accept that responsibility, and it’s a great one to have because it’s a wonderful opportunity. I don’t let the pressure get to me because that’s going to hinder my performance and therefore, let people down. So I choose to ignore the pressure side of it and focus on doing justice to Superman.”
At the end of the interview, Cavill also said that he has no future goals for his film career, but he would love the opportunity to play James Bond, a role he was up for which he ultimately lost to Daniel Craig.
“I’ve seen a little bit, because I did some ADR for the film. It’s a very long process. Zack puts a lot of time into post-production on all his films, because he’s such a visual stylist, and there’s a lot of computer generated effects. But the little snippet I saw was pretty mind-blowing, and it wasn’t even finished.”
“I really admire Henry’s work ethic. I really haven’t seen somebody in this business work quite that hard. Obviously, it’s a tremendous responsibility, and an intimidating one, to wear that suit. But he had the confidence and the work ethic to accomplish it.”
"I always felt like I was in a scene with Superman. I never looked at him and thought that’s just somebody trying to be Superman. He felt like the real deal."
How was the experience of playing Lois Lane this summer?
Amy Adams: It was great. It was really good. Henry [Cavill] – I hope you guys love him as Superman – worked so hard. He is just yummy and really committed to the role. He really did a good job. I haven’t seen the final cut and I have only seen a couple of the teasers. So I am with you guys. I know it because I was there but there was so much that I wasn’t involved in that I can’t wait to see.
Is there going to be humor in your interpretation of Lois Lane? We’ve seen the humorous Lois Lane in some movies and TV shows and other times she is more serious and very competitive with Clark Kent.
Amy Adams: No, I think she is a little more…we will have to see. I don’t know. I mean, she is definitely a pistol still and she definitely gets herself in a lot of trouble still. But she is not as competitive, I would say, with Clark."
"In line with what I've heard, Superman barely scrapes by in the movie against Zod and Faora and other supposed less powerful enemies, the person who literally beats the bloody hell out of him the most is not Zod (he actually apparently fares much better against the General) is Faora. You know the ass kicking Spider-Man receives from Green Goblin in spider-man 1 what with Tobey screaming in major pain with each punch and knee that Goblin gives him... multiply that by 3 and that's what Faora does to Superman. Or of Omni-Man's beat down of Invincible.
At first they're not as powerful but later on as she applies her fight training and adapts them to her powers, she gives Superman one of the worst beatings a hero has faced on camera... She "Doomsdays" him... literally pulverizing him with precision and lethal strength with hitting pressure-points, nerves and even just outclasses Supes in bare knuckle and gives Supes a severe beat down...he's total agony this entire time, bloody and broken and barely gets away. My buddy doesn't know at all how Superman defeats these guys eventually but he did say that Superman in this film gets hurt a lot more easily than Routh's pre-crisis Superman...the military can hurt him too but Faora pretty much nearly kills him in hand to hand."
"Absolutely. It was fun. It was intimidating because it was played before by Margot Kidder, whom I love. One of my favorite movies growing up was "Superman" -- and "Superman 2." I was kind of a nerd; I loved them so much. It was important to create a character that was new because I thought she was perfect. It's hard to step into a role where you thought someone had already achieved what could be achieved. But coming from theater, you're always stepping into a role that's been done before, so you're always excited about it."
Talking to USA Today, Adams points out she never had any intention of recreating someone else's character. She said, "This was a new idea, down to the hair color. I knew people would want to talk about my hair color. It was going to be a thing. (Director) Zack (Snyder) told me he didn't hire me to play someone else. He hired me to play Lois Lane. It's a whole reimagining."
When asked what it is she made 'new' for the character, she added, "It's a totally different realization of the Superman lore, so I felt free in that way because I wasn't trying to emulate any sort of banter that had been established by Christopher Reeve and Kidder. I was given a lot of permission to create a new character."
Adams also notes that Margot Kidder's portrayal of the character affected her as a young woman and she hopes she can do the same thing, "I grew up really loving(her). I wasn't trying to be her but I hope I do enough of a good job to have the same effect on young girls as Lois Lane had on me. I really loved seeing a woman represented as a modern woman in a superhero movie, and not even glamourized, really -- she was kind of a troublemaker. She wasn't a typical heroine. I identified with her from a very young age."
Though as far as the final product goes Adams hasn't seen anything, "I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any footage. It's intense. Henry worked his tail off as Superman. It's different for me. A lot of running. I hold a laser taser of some sort."
Is there anything you can tell me about Zod?
He's a general. On a planet called Krypton. I don't know what to say about Zod. It's shrouded in secrecy. [Long pause.] He's a badass mofo.
A badass mofo in a jumpsuit like in "Superman 2"?
I will look slightly different than Terence Stamp because otherwise, what's the point? It will all be slightly different. I think it's pretty cool. I'm going to be doing so many interviews for the "Man of Steel." I'll save it for then. It is funny because people bring me pictures to sign at events and things, and there are all these mockups online and people imagining what I'm going to look like. There are some pretty funny ones, something with a black SS uniform and -- what do you call it when you got the mustache and there's this soul patch...
Oh, like a Zappa?
Yeah, like a T. Well, that's totally wrong but I'll sign it if you want me to.
