Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot are the two names who have established their names in the industry with superhero roles. Both actors embodied their respective characters with such prowess that they left an everlasting impression on fans. From analyzing the characters deeply to working on creating a resembling physique, these two have shown sheer dedication. They did not do it just to get their hands on the role but also because they loved them.

A testament to their attachment and dedication to DCEU can be witnessed in an interview they gave during Justice League promotions.

Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot thought DCEU was their home 

Back in 2017, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot sat down with The Bellissimo Files to talk about their film Justice League. In the interview, the host asked the duo how it felt to reprise their superhero roles in the movie. In her response, the 38-year-old said that it was an amazing experience, but to her, it never felt like she was going back. To this, the Man of Steel alum added, “We never left”.

The Israel-born star then revealed she jumped right into this project after shooting Wonder Woman. So it felt more like a “marathon” to her. This was the same time when Cavill was shooting Mission Impossible: Fallout and the schedules of both shoots got mixed up. In the interview, he was donning the iconic Agent Walker mustache that resulted in a meme-fest among fans and cost DC a million dollars.

While they reflected on embodying the iconic superheroes, they revealed their real-life inspirations.

Who inspired fan-favorite DCEU superheroes? 

In the same interview, the host asked Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot about the people who inspired them. To this, the Enola Holmes star instantly said his mom had always been his hero as she raised five boys in the household. He praised her for having “quiet strength” and called her a “miracle worker” for handling them all at once. The 40-year-old has always aspired to become like her and have that kind of energy.

Like her co-star, Gal Gadot also saw a hero in her mother, who raised her two daughters. The actress revealed how her mother encouraged the sisters to follow their hearts. The 38-year-old also added she would like to pass on the same traits to her daughter someday. It is surprising to see that the inspirations of fan-favorite superheroes are their mothers.
