“Well, I was glad I didn’t blink,” he joked about the cameo. Nicolas then added, “For me, it was the feeling of being actualized. Even that look for that particular character, finally seeing it on screen, was satisfying. But as I said, it’s quick.”
He went on to say that the angel he played in the 1998 movie City of Angels offers a glimpse of what he would have brought to the character of Superman.
“I was supposed [to play] Clark Kent after that [in ‘Superman Lives’], and I was already developing this alien otherness playing this angel,” he explained.
“That is a perfect example of the tonality you would’ve gotten for Kal-El and for Clark Kent: Clark would’ve been a little more amusing but Kal-El [had] the sensitivity and the goodness and the vulnerability and all those feelings that were kind of angelic and also terrifying,” he added.
