The recent Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice rumour suggesting that the film will be split into two parts with the first part scheduled to release in October 2015, has been shot down by lead star Henry Cavill.

During a Bafta party in Los Angeles, Variety reporter Ramin Setoodeh spoke to Cavill about the latest rumour and also got the Superman actor to talk a little bit about Ben Affleck as Batman and whether Dawn of Justice will be better than The Avengers. (via Comicbookmovie.com)
