Man of Steel Trailers: 7 Reasons To Be Excited About Superman Again

6. An Unbeatable Likeness?

It was obvious from the moment we found out he€™d been cast that Henry Cavill looks sort of like Superman. But after seeing the trailer, I€™m now convinced that Henry Cavill looks exactly like Superman. And not just any version of the character either, but Superman as painted by the mighty Alex Ross. Take a look: Ross€™ Superman tends to be painted as more mature of course but still, Cavill has the build, he€™s got the hair and he€™s got the jawline. Other than a young Christopher Reeve I don€™t think any actor could fit more organically into the role of a modern Superman than the young British talent. With casting nailed so effortlessly, at least in terms of a face fit we€™ll hopefully seeing the Superman franchise make a return to greatness after the god awful failed reboot that 2006 guffed out.
