Superman star says his first comic book role in an X-Men movie was a "missed opportunity": "There was a lot they could have done with the character"

Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific in Superman.

Superman star Edi Gathegi thinks his role in the new DC movie will "undo the wrongs" of the comic book character he played 14 years ago.
