Henry Cavill’s DCEU Superman Workout Routine Is Even More Impressive 11 Years Later

Summary

• Henry Cavill's dedication to portraying Superman involved both physical and emotional depth.
• Cavill's commitment to his superhero physique through intense workouts and an increased calorie intake was a key factor in making his Superman portrayal convincing and impressive.
• The six-month training regimen Cavill underwent to prepare for his role as Superman in Man of Steel resulted in a muscular and powerful physique that set him apart from other actors who have played the iconic character.

The DCEU had a tumultuous run since 2013’s Man of Steel, but Henry Cavill’s commitment to the role of Superman only seems to age better with time. Before making his DCEU debut, Cavill had starred in only a handful of films, like the Greek mythological epic Immortals and the fantasy adventure Stardust. But Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and the subsequent DCEU movies turned him into a household name, winning over many a Superman fan. David Corenswet might be the new Man of Tomorrow in James Gunn’s Superman reboot, but audiences won’t forget Cavill’s performance anytime soon.
Apart from capturing the Kryptonian hero’s compassion and optimism, Cavill also explored the character’s occasionally reckless nature. This is what set him apart from other live-action Superman actors. Along with his dramatic prowess, Cavill also gave his all physically. Cavill’s intense workouts and attempts at bulking up made the DCEU Superman a real tour de force in the franchise’s action sequences, from his fast-paced duels with Zod and Batman to his one-man battle against the entire Justice League. After more than a decade, the British actor’s physical commitment to the part makes his take on Superman all the more convincing.
