Henry Cavill kick-started the DC Extended Universe in 2013 withMan of Steel. Looking back at the positive reactions the movie received back in the day, one wonders why DC chiefs couldn’t keep up with their own standards and mimic the same quality in other DCEU projects.
What’s even more puzzling is the fact that the very brilliant Cavill isn’t part of James Gunn’sSuperman: Legacy. The square-jawed British actor was the perfect Superman. Fans didn’t just love his superb physique and combating skills when he took on his opponents, but also really liked the charming personality of his alter ego, Clark Kent.
In particular, Clark’s down-to-earth persona with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) really reflected his geeky side (the way it is meant in the comics) very well. Both Cavill and Adams shared lovely chemistry, albeit with one minor hiccup.

How Henry Cavill Reacted to Amy Adams’ Kissing Technique
In one of the scenes of Zack Snyder’sMan of Steel, the world has seemingly gone awry, and amid all the burning buildings and rubbles,Amy Adams‘ Lois Lane kissesHenry Cavill‘s Superman (by that time she’s made aware of Clark’s identity).
The contrasting nature of the scene is certainly beautiful and despite all the chaos, the way Snyder approached the moment, the romantic encounter felt smooth. However, smooth is exactly the word Cavill would never use to describe that kiss, at least that’s what his reaction onThe Graham Norton Showsuggested in 2013.
In conversation with Graham Norton, the pair gave an insight into what went behind the scenes (as well as in their minds) during and after that kiss.
TheAmerican Hustleactress used too much tongue during the kiss.“I tried that [using tongue] with Henry it didn’t work,”Adams said. Cavill replied,“Too much, it was too much”.
She continued:
“I’m coming across as such a creep for poor Henry. I talked to other people like ‘Oh Henry is beautiful, he’s such a nice guy.’ But then you say it in front of him and then you feel like really creepy.”
Thankfully the moment didn’t ruin their chemistry, which only got better when they reprised their respective roles inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Who Taught Amy Adams the Bizarre Kissing Technique
The six-time Academy Award-nominated actress certainly doesn’t need much guidance when it comes to acting, having delivered a number of excellent performances since her debut in the movieDrop Dead Gorgeousin 1999.
However, she’s clearly not very confident about her kissing technique and had to take a leaf out of David O. Russell’s book to stun Cavill. Adams revealed herAmerican Hustledirector has a thing for tongue. “He likes to see it. He’s like a 1980s music video or something,”she said (viaThe Graham Norton Show).
On a serious note, despite that awkward kiss, Cavill and Adams were absolutely brilliant as Clark and Lois. Both David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan will have to step in a big way inSuperman: Legacyto make DC fans forget their favorite couple.
Man of Steelis available for streaming on Max.
