Former Man of Steel Dean Cain revealed he's on Team Affleck when it comes "Batman vs. Superman" casting.
The "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" star explained to HenryCavill.org he believes director Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel 2" cast is strong and fans should give them a chance.
"Well, you have fantastic actors. Let's go one at time. Jeremy Irons is a fantastic actor. He can drip with sarcasm from just saying, 'hello'. As Alfred, I imagine he'll be fantastic. It will be an interesting chemistry between him and Ben Affleck. That may change the Batman lure a little bit," Cain told the Cavill fan site.
"Jeremy Irons doesn't seem as passive as others who have taken the roles in the past, so that should be interesting," Cain added. "Ben Affleck is a fantastic film maker and he's a very good actor and I think people should not judge him being cast in that role before he plays it. And I think that Gal is smokin' hot! That's the reason I'll go see the movie *laughs*. She is stunning."
Cain also commented on the backlash Affleck has received since his casting was announced summer of 2013 adding, "...I defend Ben. I will completely defend him until I see the final product."
The actor told HenryCavill.org he is a big fan of the "Man of Steel" franchise and believed Cavill will continue doing a "fantastic" job as Superman.
"I thought Henry did a great job. It's a completely different incarnation of the character than anything that I played or anything that I'd seen before on film or television. I think an alien not fitting in here on Earth in a more lonely brooding incarnation he was fantastic," Cain said.
