'Man of Steel' Spoilers: Henry Cavill Reveals Superman's Weakness

Henry Cavill revealed that Superman's weakness in the anticipated film "Man of Steel" is his own confusion and sense of isolation.

The actor told F*** magazine, "There's a very real story behind the Superman character." Cavill explained "everyone's goal has been to explore the difficulties his character faces as a result of having multiple identities -- including his birth name, Kal-El, and his alter ego, Clark Kent."

He added "He's alone and there's no one like him. That must be incredibly scary and lonely, not to know who you are or what you are, and trying to find out what makes sense. Where's your baseline? What do you draw from? Where do you draw a limit with the power you have? In itself, that's an incredible weakness."

"Man of Steel" tells the story of a young journalist who is forced to confront his secret extraterrestrial heritage when Earth is invaded by members of his race.
