I was very very passionate about the games.

I thought, I really hope they make this into a TV show or movie.

In 2017, fate intervened to make his wish come true.

They become mutants, he continued.

Theyre often rejected by people and not supposed to have emotions.

But after a while, Cavills tenacity wore her down.

He was really annoying, the writer-producer confirmed.

I finally said, I will meet with you.

The show is not green-lit.

I said, Thank you.

Now I have to go write the show.

Meanwhile, the erstwhile Man of Steel continued to pester his agent about getting him the role.

I annoyed my agents all the time.

They said, Theyre not ready.

I had three swords where I lived, four at work.

It waspractice, practice, practice.

And Cavill, for his part, seems to have deeply internalized his characters motives and foibles.

He has this dichotomy, he explained from the stage.

Hes very hard on the exterior.

Thats how he believes the world is.

But deep deep down theres this man who has a belief in what the worldcanbe.

So theres moral decisions he makes along the way and all of them get him in trouble.
