Henry Cavill, reflecting on his role as Superman in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, described the process of creating the iconic suit as a meticulous and transformative experience. The team aimed to build a suit that not only embodied the strength and heroism of the character but also paid homage to his alien origins.
The process began with detailed concept art and 3D body scans of Cavill to ensure the suit fit perfectly, highlighting his physique and allowing movement during intense action sequences. The suit was made using a combination of intricate designs, including Kryptonian glyphs and patterns, adding depth and a sense of otherworldliness. Cavill emphasized how the construction of the suit was a collaborative effort, with frequent adjustments to ensure it captured the essence of Superman while being practical for filming. He mentioned that putting on the suit was like stepping into the character of Superman, helping him fully embody the role and project the character's legendary presence on screen. This guy is simply Superman, and BvS is highly underrated.
