'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Actor Says Upcoming Film Won't Necessarily Be a 'Man of Steel' Sequel
Zack Snyder and Warner Bros.' upcoming big screen offering "Batman V Superman: Man of Steel" is intended to be a direct follow-up to the 2013 "Man of Steel" film.
Recent news however pointed out franchise main actor, Henry Cavill, saying that the forthcoming superhero movie won't be a second installment.
"I wouldn't call this a Superman sequel," the 31-year-old British actor tells MTV in an interview. "This is Batman vs. Superman, so it's a separate entity altogether."
He also announced that the movie, which will also see the act of Ben Affleck as Batman, will act as a prologue to the already announced "Justice League" big screen adaptation.
"It's introducing the Batman character, and expanding upon this universe, which was kicked off by Man of Steel. It's an introduction to the character, and ultimately an introduction to Justice League," he went on to say.
With still a year left before the movie hit the cinemas worldwide, it can't be helped that the actor would be asked about some details of the movie which is now reportedly in a post-production phase.
"I've only seen a little bit of ADR stuff, but that's it, and that wasn't even in color … I'm hoping to see it some time this year, for a friends and family screening or something. But I really know nothing about what the finished product looks like," he replied.
"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to debut Gal Gadot's Amazonian princess character, Wonder Woman, as well as Jason Momoa's Atlantean king, Aquaman.
Directed by Snyder, the movie is slated to open in theaters on March 25, 2016.
