​Now that "Justice League" is in theaters, it's no longer a spoiler to say that yes, Superman does return after sacrificing himself in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice." Everyone knew Henry Cavill was in the movie, it was only the film's marketing that pretended Superman's return was some big secret.





What's more interesting is the dramatic change in character the Man of Steel underwent while he was "dead."

Speaking to the ​Los Angeles Times, Cavill shared his thoughts on the new attitude Superman displays in "Justice League." He says not only is it more in line with the hero we know from the comics, it's how he's always wanted to play the character.





" I feel like this is the natural progression from the end of 'Man of Steel' into what he is now. This is a rebirth of the character, to coin the D.C. comics franchise right now: It's a refresh," he said.





" This movie highlights the qualities of Superman that exist in the comic books. That's something I've always been very keen to highlight in the character."

Cavill says he and Joss Whedon, who was brought in to direct post-production and reshoots on the movie, saw eye-to-eye on how the superhero should be portrayed.





" I think there's an opportunity for these heroes to be represented in a way in which everyone can access. It should be funny. You should be able to take your kids to it," Cavill said.
