March 30, 2011: Snyder Talks Superman Cast and Possible Villian

In a recent video interview posted by LeicesterSquareTV.com, director Zack Snyder talks about his choices for the cast of his upcoming Superman reboot and how he feels that Henry Cavill and Amy Adams are perfect for their respective roles. Here's some key points that Snyder touched on:

On Amy Adams being cast as Lois Lane:
"Amy is really just an amazing talent. I think she grounds the part in a really amazing way, for me anyway. She's beautiful and she's smart. What we're trying to do with the project, she just really sort of embodies everything we're going for."

On Henry Cavill being cast as Superman:
"As you know, he was up for the role before. That was 8 years ago I think. And I think now, the thing's that awesome, the thing that i love about him is that he's a man. And I think it's been a while since we had a manly Superman. And also, he has this little bit of kindness which is important."

On Whether or not the villian will be General Zod:
"I like that there's this whole process of elimination. I can't say exactly who it is. As you know, this is a secret project! I hope that when people do find out that they like it, because we think it's the right guy we're going after.
