Henry Cavill Talks Two Part 'Batman v. Superman' and Beating The Avengers

Henry Cavill appeared at a BAFTA party in Los Angeles over the weekend, and Variety reporter Ramin Setoodeh caught up with the British actor to ask a few questions.

Setoodeh posted the information to his Twitter feed. First, Cavill debunked the recent rumors that Batman v. Superman would be split into two parts. He also called Ben Affleck a "great" Batman and debunked the rumors that he was injured in a fight scene with Affleck. "Are you kidding? I'm the Man of Steel," he said. Finally, Cavill simply said "You'll see" when asked if Batman v. Superman would be better than The Avengers.

News has been quiet on Batman v. Superman recently, but one of the persistent rumors has been that Jena Malone would have a role in the movie, possibly as a female Robin.

Moviefone asked the Hunger Games actress about that possibility in a recent interview.

"There have been rumors that you are in talks to join another sizable franchise for a director you've worked with before, as part of Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Can you say anything?

Ummmm... no.

Would you say, hypothetically, that you would be excited to contribute a strong female role model to a genre that is somewhat bereft of them?

I don't think that it's bereft. I mean look at Hunger Games -- are you kidding me?

Yeah, but The Hunger Games isn't a comic book.

It doesn't matter. You're turning something into a film, you're creating a myth. What is a comic book but a written myth? I feel like there's so much negativity, but we create. We're still making things. It's not about having as much as they have, it's about continuing the conversation."

What do you think of Cavill's remarks? Let us know in the comments section.
