Batman v Superman: Affleck and Cavill Recall Difficult Parts of Making the Film
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill attended the NBA All-Star game yesterday, and spoke a bit about what it was like making the film.
The actors revealed they have seen the final cut of the movie, and Affleck said the hardest part about making it was "the amount of training you have to go into."
"It was very intimidating," said Affleck when asked about taking on the role of the iconic Batman. His one comfort came from the fact he didn't "have to play Batman in his prime," as the character is a slightly older version in the movie.
"It is intimidating when you first step into those boots," Cavill agreed, "there's a lot of pressure on you."
