Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill has described the new Superman movie as a 're-imagining' of the popular cartoon character.

The British actor has landed the role as the Man of Steel in the new movie which will be directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan.

Speaking to MTV the actor said: "It's true to the source material, but there's so little I can say about it.

"It's basically a re-imagining and modernisation of an iconic character."

When asked is his portrayal of Superman would differ greatly from that of Christopher Reeve he said: "That's tough to say; it's very early days yet.

"Superman is Superman, after all. There's only so much of a change you can make to that."

"It's going to be different, but not so different that it's unrecognisable." He then concluded with a laugh,"How's that for an answer?"

Amy Adams has been cast as Louis Lane while Diane Lane and Kevin Coster have landed the role of Martha and Jonathan Kent.
