McG has admitted that he cannot wait to see Henry Cavill take on the role of Clark Kent in the new Superman movie.
The This Means War director had been linked to a Superman project before Bryan Singer brought the character back to the big screen.
And McG reveals that he had had Cavill in mind for the role back then.
Speaking to Digital Spy the filmmaker said: "I did indeed cast Henry Cavill [as Superman]. He's a fantastic actor, he's very, very strong and he's wonderful.
"I think Zack Snyder's going to do a great job with Henry Cavill. I can't wait to see that picture."
McG is back in the director's chair this week for This Means War, his first movie since Terminator Salvation.
The film teams him up with Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine.
