Actor Jamie Dornan Talks Superman Audition for "Man of Steel"
Posted on August 17, 2023 by Neil Cole
In a recent interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, actor Jamie Dornan ("Fifty Shades of Grey", "Belfast") revealed that he once auditioned for the coveted role of Clark Kent / Superman in director Zack Snyder's 2013 film, "Man of Steel".
"The only [superhero role] I auditioned for is Superman," said Dornan. "That was way back when, like when Henry Cavill got cast. That's probably 12 years ago or something. I wore my own suit there. Was that a mistake? They were Superman pajamas, they weren't an actual suit. I remember an early audition for that. I got nowhere near putting the [real] suit on… I've had meetings with heads of studios that do those things and would talk about it, but I never got deep in any audition process for them."
Of course, the role eventually went to Henry Cavill who continued to portray the Man of Steel in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "Justice League", and "Black Adam". The role of Superman will soon be portrayed by actor David Corenswet ("The Politician") in director James Gunn's film, "Superman: Legacy" which is scheduled to premiere on July 11th, 2025.
