This Friday you can catch Henry Cavill on the cover of Entertainment Weekly along with his interview on landing the role for the upcoming Superman film with Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder. During his screen test, Cavill wore a replica of Christopher Reeve’s costume, which Snyder told him, “If you can put on that suit and pull it off, that’s an awesome achievement.”

Cavill recalls: “All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!”

Snyder saw something — or rather someone — different. “He walked out, and no one laughed,” says the director. “Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.’”
