Zack Snyder wants to make Superman 'physical'

Zack Snyder's 'Superman' will be "physical".

The filmmaker, who is directing the forthcoming movie 'Superman: Man of Steel' with Henry Cavill as the flying hero, refused to confirm specifics about the script of the film but did admit he had ideas in mind of how his version of the character would be.

He said: "I can't really talk about that without being kind of specific. But I can say I think Superman needs to be physical."

Further discussing the movie, '300' director Zack said he is a long-term fan of the superhero but is thinking how he would fit in "the modern world".

He told SFX Magazine: "My feeling about Superman is that I've been a fan of the character for a long time. But the question for me was always, 'What can you do with Superman in a modern world?'

"And I think the amazing thing that Chris Nolan Batman and David Goyer have created, that I'm working on now, and the reason why I was like, 'Yeah, I'll do that,' was that they found that in him. They found the why in him. That's the exciting part for me."

Lindsay Lohan has been among a number of actresses named as a possibility for the lead female role of Lois Lane in the project, with Olivia Wilde and Kristen Stewart also screen tested.
