Interview
MAN OF STEEL Will Feature A Bullied Young Clark Kent

“Man of Steel, yeah. It’s a reboot of the franchise with Zack Snyder who did the 300 film and a young English fellow named Henry Cavill. Superman or Kal-el as I would call him because he’s my son – times have changed, I’m Superman’s dad… To be able to find out that at his core and center that he has that sort of humility is a wonderful moment.”There is another interesting bit of info that’s been revealed about the story – namely, Clark Kent will be bullied in the movie as a teenager. One of the interesting aspects of the bullying is the person that’s doing it. In the comic books, Pete Ross is Clark Kent’s childhood best friend who knew of Clark’s abilities. There have been a few different stories about how Ross and Kent became friends over the years, though. According to the actor that plays Ross in the movie, Jack Foley, the character will actually bully Clark. In an interview with Artcenter.edu, they describe Foley as “a teen actor whose character in the film bullies a young Clark Kent before the two become friends.”
