Putting the ‘Super’ in Superman

Henry Cavill may be a super muscular, ultra-masculine actor, so it’s clear to see why he was cast as the ultimate hero, ‘Superman’. That said, the epic triumphs of strength he portrays – like lifting buildings and holding up giant landmarks – are a little beyond the scope of the actor’s skills. That’s where the post-production team steps in to help!

Adding green screens in the background and clever CGI transformed the set into the spectacular scenes we saw in the cinema, and boosted Henry’s strength and endurance to the level of the Krypton hero we know and love. It’s easy to fight crime when CGI is on your side!
