Henry Cavill IS Superman: Part III

[BH/HHH]

Damn, chiseled much?? :wow:

Thats our Superman :D

[Rowsdower!]

Does anyone know when we're getting a trailer for Immortals? I know the release date is still a long way off, but I'm really excited about that film. And I was interested way before the Superman announcement.

[BH/HHH]

Well the Immortals isnt out until November so sometime in the summer maybe

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, true. Oh well. At least they are taking their time with it and not rushing it like Crap of the Titans. I'm sure that, at the very least, it will be better than that horrible movie. Of course, that's not saying much...

[GoblinWhirlwind]

The Immortals will probably get alot of attention just from the fact that "New Superman Star Henry Cavill" will be mentioned everytime. But yeah, I've been looking forward to it for quite some time, ever since I first read about it. I still like the original title though, wasn't it "War of the Gods"?

War of Gods sounds much better

[GreenKToo]

I have a question for those posters like me who were not big Henry Cavill supporters or Cavill haters. Does his casting as Superman make you want to see the Immortals movie more now? It does for me.
It pertains to me, and yes...

[Micah12345]

I think I won't see it. Seeing cavill for the first time as superman will make it seem more like he actually is the character.

[Zack Snyder]

I think Cavill wouldn't have done the Immortals if he knew he would get Superman ;) lol

Anyways let me say what I like about Cavill's look the most.

1. Does not match Reeve but still has features of a comic book/animated Superman.
2. Contrasts from previous Superman Routh who was more Reeve like, and looks very different from Welling as well. This will really help separate the film from past projects.
3. Best looking actor facially since Reeve, this will pull in a demographic of female fans that Routh didn't pull in. He is a decent looking fellow too, but not the type women would swoon over imo.
4. A distinguished natural regal appeal, no doubt in part from being British... This works for Superman well though. He is the son of Jor-el from the house of el after all. Many compare Superman to having the look of a greek God, and this certainly helps. No Cavill is not god before you go nuts! lol

[Zack Snyder]

I realize this points aren't entirely separate so numbering them may appear silly. Just in the mood to Obama style my points :D

[DorkyFresh]

I think Cavill wouldn't have done the Immortals if he knew he would get Superman ;)

then again....if Cavill hadn't done 'the Immortals' (which will undoubtedly make him a bigger star) he might not have gotten the role :word:

Agreed in full!

[Compi716]

I wanted to repost this from the original casting thread, about how Joe M wasn't going to get the role...because it just goes to show how right I was :grin:.
I've been around these boards a long time...I've seen fan wish lists come and go, and "front runners" drop into obscurity.

Do you guys want to know the one thing that EVERY major front runner for a superhero movie has in common? They NEVER get the role.

Logan Lerman/Josh Hutcherson.
Bradley Cooper.
John Krasinski.
Alexander Skarsgaard.
Alice Eve.
Crispin Glover.
Lachey Hulme (yeah, that's going back to 2006/7).
Ashton Kutcher.

Just saying...

[Stephen K. Hone]

I wanted to repost this from the original casting thread, about how Joe M wasn't going to get the role...because it just goes to show how right I was :grin:.



And going by your criteria, Cavill shouldn't have got it but he did!

[JAK®]

He also ignores that John Krasinski and Josh Hutcherson actually got their respective roles, but were replaced almost immediately.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I have to wonder how Cavill's casting came to be. Did the WB folks like and remember him from earlier on? Or did Snyder hear about all his fan support and was like "Yeah, let's see what he can do"

I gotta admit, even though he was my top choice, I didn't have a whole lot of faith he'd actually get the role. Mainly because there hadn't been a word about him and all the Joe M talk kept going on. I guess that probably should've been a positive sign.

[Astrodust]

I don't think Immortals played a part in Cavill's casting. Cavill was a previous runnerup and was also on Nolan's radar from the Batman casting. As a director, you tend to feel bad for your shortlist actors and keep them in mind when they don't get the main part. Also Cavill wasn't weak in any areas.

On a side note, I want to say that I like how this Superman board has evolved. There seems to be a lot more older posters and more dialogue. I like the fact that they are not removing every new thread and making a one thread for all type of deal. Hopefully enough positive news keeps coming to keep people excited for this film. Can't wait for the poster and next year's Superbowl spot.

Apparently Chris Nolan saw his old screen tests and suggested him to Snyder and Snyder said "bring him in" and then Cavill won the part. This was also relatively recent. Like, last week recent.

[Sebastos]

Aren't we supposed to get news tomorrow?

[BH/HHH]

Aren't we supposed to get news tomorrow?

Herocomplex said they have some Super scoop or something that should be on when the Superbowl kicks off.

[flickchick85]

I'm crossing my fingers right now that Latino Review didn't already scoop them (I was thinking it would be villain news, which likely would've been the news LR got about Ursa/Zod).

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I'm gonna try not to think about it too much... otherwise I'll hype it up in my mind and we'll be getting a huge interview with Snyder and Cavill with a Lois and Luthor casting announcement and costume concept art.

In reality it's probably just a villain or plot announcement.

[Sebastos]

Shall be one Super Sunday then. :up:

[Kal-El.9859]

can't wait regardless

[Mako]

Also wasnt the looks of Edward Cullen based on him? Not the movie Edward but the book.

[Doctor Jones]

I think that Hero Complex thing will be an interview with Snyder. Possibly some story points but that's a reach.

[flickchick85]

Also wasnt the looks of Edward Cullen based on him? Not the movie Edward but the book.
I'm sad that I know this, but yes, the author of those books said he was her ideal Edward Cullen. I've never read them (I tried a long time ago and got about 20 pages in before deciding it wasn't worth the time), but I'm pretty sure he's basically described as the most beautiful creature on the planet, lol.

[Doctor Jones]

That's because he is.

Henry iz teh sexxx.

[mclay18]

Same here.

I pray LR or someone else scoops villain/Lois casting rather than Nikki Finke. Hate that woman.

They (or rather Mike Fleming) conveniently 'forgot' to credit IESB for scooping the 'Joss Whedon directing Avengers' news on April 1st.

Yeah, I remember hearing that. Hopefully Stephanie Meyer will publicly gush over him during a press conference somewhere in the months leading up to the movie. Then her army of teenage drones will flock to see this Superman movie and it will make $150 billion at the box office.

Lol well rumoured villains have been Hugu Strange (could still be in the film), The Riddler, Talia AL Ghul, The Joker (a CGI Heath Ledger), The Penguin, Night Scourge, etc and some of these apparantely came from reliable "sources". So I wouldn't worry about the villain(s) until we hear something official.

Thanks for the info, I just hope we get Brainiac or Metallo...maybe even both.

I'm not looking forward to Generel Zod or Ursa :(

There was a ton of Bane talk before it was announced. Not a lot of people thought it would happen, but there was talk.

Exactly that took everyone by surprise.

[Micah12345]

There was a lot of talk of bane. I was hoping for bane personally after riddler was ruled out, but hardly anyone was actually expecting him. Catwoman and Bane are the first villains nolan's using that don't wear suits. Of course that could change once he nolanizes them, but he's still an unexpected choice.

Bane was a HUGE plus for me, I love the character and it let me know that they were'nt gonna try to do a TDK rehash (although it was an awesome movie).

all i know is henry better get as big as evans did for cap as shown in tv spot

[Sawyer]

Bigger. :o

[I Am The Knight]

Well, Cavill is taller...Suppose that helps?

[sf2]

how tall is evan?

[JAK®]

Well, Cavill is taller...Suppose that helps?It actually hinders. Taller people have longer muscles, so they need to put on extra weight to add significant size.

It's negligible anyway because Cavill is only an inch taller than Evans. Cavill can easily reach the amount of muscle Evans has for Captain America in the time he has.

[Crazymaverick]

can anyone recommend a movie with him? All i've seen is his work in stardust, and that was only minor supporting role and he's wearing a blonde wig and a mustache.


..so, Dracula, Magneto and Superman walk into a bar(n)... :D

Seriously though, check out 'Blood Creek' alternatively titled 'Town Creek'.

[jest]

I finally saw "The Social Network" this past weekend, and while I liked Armie Hammer in the movie, I feel he is too nondescript as an actor. Totally forgettable. He would blend into a crowd of other blonde, blandly handsome actors. On the other hand, I watched every episode of "The Tudors" and was riveted every time Henry Cavill was on the screen. He has that certain "je ne sais quois" that can't be explained but is completely mesmerizing. That, coupled with the fact that he's a gorgeous hunk of manhood, makes me believe he will be an AMAZING Man of Steel. That is just one fangirl's humble opinion.

I second this recommendation. And you get an idea of his American accent in this also. It's decent - one or two funny sounding words spat out in anger -- but you wouldn't know he was Brit if you didn't know to begin with. The movie itself is so-so -- not horrible, not great -- about two brothers getting revenge on a family harboring a Nazi zombie/vampire...or that's what I got out of it anyway. Henry's character was heroic, well-intentioned, but macho and sensitive. And he looked pretty good too.

This might be the first superhero movie that women drag their husbands and boyfriends to!

[Rowsdower!]

This might be the first superhero movie that women drag their husbands and boyfriends to!

Please do!

If there's one thing superhero films need right now, it's more female viewers. As much as I make fun of the Twilight crowd, it's mostly because I'm envious that the genre films I like don't usually get the turnout that they do.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I'm expecting Cavill to be somewhere between Hemsworth and Evans' physique. If Evans had only 4 months to get in shape, and they don't start shooting Superman until August, Cavill can easily do it. Especially since Snyder likes a more muscular Superman, we'll finally get a powerful looking Superman onscreen.

[Astrodust]

I think Cavill has the dedication to get into shape. He doesn't need to by bodybuilder big. Just athletic or like Craig from that water scene in James Bond.

[Astrodust]

Am I the only one that thinks the Evans pic is enhanced a little?

[JAK®]

Am I the only one that thinks the Evans pic is enhanced a little?The fact that he is covered in some sort of fluid makes him look bigger, and he probably did some bicep curls before shooting to pump up his arms, but set pictures have shown that he isn't that far off from looking like that.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I think Cavill has the dedication to get into shape. He doesn't need to by bodybuilder big. Just athletic or like Craig from that water scene in James Bond.

I've always thought Craig had a great Superman physique in that scene... powerful looking, but not pretty boy ripped.

Am I the only one that thinks the Evans pic is enhanced a little?

Evans looks weird to me because he's pretty buff, but he has a scrawny pencil neck, unlike Hemworth who has that thick bull neck, especially in that Hammer scene in the rain.

[JAK®]

Scrawny pencil neck? He doesn't have a big neck like Hemsworth but scrawny?

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Scrawny in comparison to his build. You don't see it? I had always hoped his EW cover was shopped because his neck was laughably thin on that... he looked like a little kid. It was, but not much apparently.

[JAK®]

Scrawny in comparison to his build. You don't see it?
Not really. He has very broad shoulders which might make his neck smaller in comparison but I can't say I ever noticed it.

Not speaking for Evans or any particular actor but do you really think that actors are beyond taking steroids in order to meet the physical requirements for a role that will pay them millions of dollars?

Not knocking your manip, but that pic of Cavill's face has to be among the worst ones. He looks like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

[Dark Knight]

i think Cavill will be as big as evans maybe bigger because Evans was cast in march and filming began in june that is 4 month to get big and he did and
this is what chris looked like in march.

I still get a kick seeing how big Evans got and how small his hands are!

Disproportionally way off! LOL

[Dark Knight]

well, i wouldn't be surprised if they used some enhancements.


With Evans they most likely did use PED's or steroids.

[Rowsdower!]

That pic of Haley feeling Evans' pectoral is just hilarious to me. Especially with the look on Evans' face. "Oh... that's the first time a girl touched me... uh oh..."

[Project862006]

i'd rather feel haley's pectorals if you have seen pillars of the earth you know!!!

[flickchick85]

Let's not forget, the guy has been in similarly impressive shape in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised if muscle-memory didn't play a big part in it. This was 7-8 years ago:

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7263/chrisevansripped.jpg

I mean, it wouldn't shock me if he used them, but I don't think steroids would've been necessary for his build in Cap.

[Dar]

Yes to the pecs, NO to the waxing. Not that it matters, since I can't imagine there'd be any shirtless shots...but a bit of chest hair looks good on a man IMO

[KrypJonian]

Take it easy everyone, if he's anywhere near as dedicated to the role as Jackman or Bale it's not actually that hard to put on bulk and muscle at the same time...

I don't know why Routh didn't bulk up more in the time he had, except for what the trainers and "powers that be" wanted him to look like, but overall they could have done better

[BritishChap007]

Yeah, seems like he knows how to work out... He'd just need to pack on the weight while still working out. Not hard to do...

[Sub-Zero]

pretty sure that cap pic of evans in the tank is digitally enhanced. his chest is too round. like they used the bloat tool in photoshop. cavill's pretty toned or was in that immortals pic. he just needs to get bulkier.

[Doctor Jones]

No, it's real. It's probably the lighting and the camera angle. You've seen the set pics of him right? He's really that big.

[Sub-Zero]

i have, but it still looks off. it's like he has moobs in that shot.

Look at how his torso, upper body, arms look compared to his head, neck and his little hands.

He looks weird actually. His face looks weird also.

It's obvious he used PED's and some kind of steroids to build mass quickly.

[SatEL]

No it isn’t, his most likely on a pump and the way he is positioned adds to it as well. Before that shot was filmed he probably did a few push ups on set. And whats with everyone talking about Evans body and gushing all over it, of the two Hemsworth has the much better body by far.

Head? Little hands? Working out doesn't change the size of those things. And the neck is one of the most genetically dependant areas of your body as far as bulking up is concerned. I don't see what's wrong with his neck anyway.

As for using steroids, possibly. He didn't have a lot of time to bulk up for Cap.

[Willi Berg]

Chris Evans has mentioned before that he felt self-conscious about his skinny legs and how he is a naturally skinny guy, so yeah, he can't change things like his hands and neck.

You hear stories of actors taking HGH (Human Growth Hormones) but any PEDs and steroids are a worry because of possible side effects.

[04nbod]

Evans looks gross in those pics. He looks a bigger cup size than me. :p

This is the second post by you where you've mentioned Chris Evans and his supposed 'little hands'. Got something to share? :cwink:

He looks fine to me. Except where he appears to be 'pinching one off' with great strain.

Actually there are weight training methods for the neck that will enhance muscle growth. Very popular (and has been for decades) amongst football players. We do this to protect ourselves from injury.

I didn't call him a dick though, so I don't know where that came from.

Anyway, no celebrity is going to get any pity from me for having to deal with the paparazzi once in a while. It's the price of fame, a small one at that, and one that they knowingly invite when they decide to be an actor/actress.

Good point. It would be even worse if he actually went to the game and was one of the unfortunate people who got turned away. Probably not, but he's not that famous (and thus probably not that rich) so it's entirely possible. I doubt he would have gotten to sit in the owners box with the Antichrist Twins (Jerry Jones and George W. Bush).

[Lighthouse]

It's a little odd to go to the main Hype! page, and see a flash announcement of Henry Cavill as Superman, with a picture of Brandon Routh.

I know we can't take actor's words to heart especially after his particularly snide dismissal of who got the part, but is he trying to indicate that Cavill only got the part because he couldn't work out a schedule for both True Blood and the film? I'm siding more with TMZ here that he's just trying to save face. Though it's strange he's strongly hinting that it was his part to lose.

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, but he does make it sound a bit like the role would have been his if he didn't have a scheduling conflict. And that, I just don't buy. Not that I blame him for being pissed; I would be too. But he does seem a little arrogant there. Of course, it could just be because TMZ "reporters" are just turds who know how to operate video equipment.

I'd really like to hear if this has been a dream role for him, or just something that kept coming back around that in he finally got in the end. I'd like to know if he actively went after it this time, or if was more like Chris Evans' casting as Cap and they pursued him.

Sounds like they pursued him this time. Nolan found his audition tape, sent it to Snyder as a suggestion, Snyder called him in, Henry got the job. I think he might have thought that if he didn't get the role for Returns, he wasn't getting it this time.

[04nbod]

Henry has 2 movies out this year where he'll be on the interview circuit. The Cold Light of Day and Immortals. Neither come out for months.

Cavill in this type of shape now, gives me ultimate confidence that he will at the very minimum look the part of Superman provided they nail the costume.

I don't think Routh, Reeve or Welling were as big & most importantly as ripped as Henry Cavill currently is heading into the training for their respective roles as Superman.

Hes definatly got a very good base, if he could get to near the same size as Chris 'Captain America' Evans I'd be very happy. It is achievable as well as right now Cavill looks the same size as Evans was in F4.

EDIT - BTW whos the actress with him in the second picture?

I have started watching the Tudors bought them on DVD and I have to say Henry Cavill is superb in it.

As you go through it, you'll see Cavill has a pretty impressive character arc. He goes from cocky playboy to nobile soldier to guilt-ridden old man and it all feels very natural and seemless. At times he is a bit underused, but he's one of the few characters that makes it from start to finish. I'm not entirely sure why, but The Tudors had a tendency to just completely drop characters with no explanation as to why and then have other characters do the things that (historically) the dropped characters did. Still a great show, but one that will leave you scratching your head at times.

I'm pretty sure Henry filmed Immortals before Cold Light of Day, so he's not quite as ripped as this now. The most recent shirtless pics of him would be the beach shots on the CLOD set. He has said (can't think of which interview) that he gains weight pretty quickly when he's not keeping in shape for a role. I've no doubt he'll look the part when it's time.

I agree on all counts. I imagine it has something to do with compressing 20 years or so of history into 38 episodes, but I found it rather amusing actually, save for Charles (Henry), the wheel of fortune on that show did turn maniacally quick, LOL

Yeah, I understood their need to compact some things, but some of the actors and characters they dropped were among the most interesting, like Thomas Cranmer (Hans Matheson) and Francis Bryan (Alan Van Sprang). particularly Bryan... he was such an evil bastard and I was really disappointed to see him evaporate with no explanation.

He is really good in the series. Especially later on when Henry gives he the order to put an end to the uprising of the people. He is a good actor no doubt and has the look but does that mean he has what it takes to be Superman remains to be seen.

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, Cavill doesn't do a whole lot in the first season, but he gets a lot more screentime in the following ones, especially as the Boleyns become more central. Though Henry does have that one awesome scene in the premiere when he's plowing that one guy's daughter and the dude accuses him of stealing her virginity and he's like, "I can assure you, someone was there long before me." lol

Well after digesting season one of the tudors, its official this guy is absolutely perfect for the role. He is charming, imposing, a solid actor, and he just conveys this amazing screen presence.

Totally agree, JRM would make an awesome Lex. Sadly, that won't happen because WB won't want to make the movie feel like a Tudors rehash, but that seriously would work.

[Rust]

Cavill surely has the physical and rhetorical presence. I dunno if it's an intentional or unintentional thing or if he's just stuck-up or if he's just been on Tudors for too long, but the man really carries himself like a king. He has a very regal way of appearing, like he's of royalty. Often I've suspected him of doing it on purpose as if trying to stick out and make casting directors see Superman in him for a possible future role. Well, in that case it's paid off.

Cool I wil stick with it I watched an episode before I bought it to see if I'd like it and I do. I'm abit hooked on it, my main reason to want to watch was Henry's Charles Brandon character but I'm hooked by all the storylines. I loved when we covered Henry VIII back in history at school (long time ago now) so its good to revisit that.

Aren't you the one that was googlling nude Ashely Greene photos? Anyways sex appeal sells. I wouldn't be surprised to see them market the leads heavily to teenage girls. They make up a large part of movie goers. Cavill will probably do some shirtless pics and Lois will be in some skimpy outfits. Then they will be in some cover shots together. Kinda like the two in Twilight. Get people talking about the chemistry Cavill has with whomever is cast as Lois.

They make up a large part of movie goers. Cavill will probably do some shirtless pics and Lois will be in some skimpy outfits. Then they will be in some cover shots together. Kinda like the two in Twilight. Get people talking about the chemistry Cavill has with whomever is cast as Lois.

negative...I just simply stated she has no shape to her torso. You can tell by looking at her in a bikini.

[Kal-El.9859]

"muscles are cool... "

Haha, what? Are you agreeing with me or saying it's weird to think that? What is that? :D

and yeah, I was agreeing with you...

[04nbod]

He does, but he's still comes off very distinguised and speaks like he studied at Oxford for too long.


"You know, the only problem with Cavill is that he looks better with that stubble then without. Hehh."

He definitely looks older, yeah.

He paid for school so yes, he's posh but he's not the kind of posh that alienates you. He seems upper middle class and raised very well. You should see the outtakes from The Tudors to see what I mean, he's so composed no matter how frustrated he is.

She's an apple shape. Does it matter? She's an actress not a model.

[Kal-El.9859]

most young actresses today think they are models...she's lame

[Night Owl]

I'm sure you wouldn't mind seeing whoever's cast as Lois in her bra at one point. >.>


Yes please :woot:

[Kal-El.9859]

Yes please :woot:

hahaha...Night Owl!

[I Am The Knight]

I'm sure there will be sex in the new Superman movie. Or sex appeal, whateva.

[Rowsdower!]

Speaking of sex, did DC ever come to a consensus on whether or not Superman could have it with Lois (or any human)? Or would it kill her?

[El Payaso]

If Superman can't have sex then he becomes immediately the most tragic superhero ever.

I'm glad Donner made him make love to Lois.

[Rowsdower!]

Well yeah, but remember, he had to de-power himself there. I know he's lost his powers in the comics from time to time, but I don't know that it was ever for the purposes of getting laid.

[SuperMike335!!]

I'm not please with "how" they had him go about it. The whole complex losing his powers and so forth.

I think the most simple solution is best.

When he is intimate with a woman, some amount of his invulnerability should be temporarily extended to her.

[Mace Bloodstone]

I look at Superman this way, His human abilities are just like ours. walking, running, lifting, breathing, ect...
But when he has to use his powers it's like a turbo switch that turns on in his body. Like when we lift something heavy we physically prepare ourselves better more than we would say picking up a spoon off the table.. Otherwise He would be constantly holding back his superhuman strength, it would be overkill on everything.

[WarriorDreamer]

I'm sure you wouldn't mind seeing whoever's cast as Lois in her bra at one point. >.>


We MUST get Lois Lane in a bra at some point!! We were kinda starved in the eye candy for guys in Superman Returns. Kate Bosworth did nothing for me. We now need a hot Lois Lane.

I think Henry Cavill should have a topless scene as well. Especially if he's spent a long time getting in shape.

Although SR had some great effects it was VERY lacking in the script and story department. We need a much more exciting, thrilling story, including a sexed up Clark and Lois!!

Agreed. It would look at least a little odd to see Clark Kent struggling all the time to mask his uncontrollable super-strength.

[hippie_hunter]

Yes, he can have sexual intercourse with other humans. He's had sex in the movies, television shows, and comics. He just can't have children with them due to genetic incompatibility.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Carson made a quip about Supes losing his virginity while hosting the '82 Oscars if I remember correctly.

[C. Lee]

Let's try not to get too crude in our discussions please.

[sf2]

Oh come on. We had Robert Downey Jr in tank top, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth shirtless in Cap and Thor, so I think it's essential to see Cavill "topless" as well. I think muscles are cool. :P And being totally comfy with my sexuality, I can say that I want to see it.

we have routh topless in SR too. but not in a 'appealing' way.
http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4366/supeslifesupport.jpg

his muscle seems... soft to me. lol

[KRIM]

That spitcurl looks absolutely ridiculous in that shot.

[nouan]

Oh yeah, Superman Returns... only you could barely see anything because of the way it was cut... and Routh obviously didn't pump before that scene to show any muscle he had. Yeah, I left SR out for a reason. Hhahah :P

[sf2]

it was 'painful' to see anyway.

singer killed superman too early and too many times in a single movie. he should establish superman in the 1st movie.

the audience just didn't care his melodrama. and the end, he did kill his superman and get himself fired. :(

[nouan]

Yep, he was really busy pushing that christ metaphore down the audience's throat. At least let Superman return properly before you start nailing and ressurecting him and all that s***.

[NotFadeAway]

If Superman can't have sex then he becomes immediately the most tragic superhero ever.

I'm glad Donner made him make love to Lois.

I agree with this. Which if thats the case, I forgive any random sex romps with Wonder Woman.

This was in todays shortlist

The new Superman's secrets
No.1: He's more powerful than a locomotive

Traditionally cast only to ham it up as villains in Hollywood films, British actors have suddenly become in demand as the good guys. Next year will see Andrew Garfield’s debut as Spider-Man and Christian Bale donning Batman’s cowl for the (possibly) final time in The Dark Knight Rises. You can now add new Superman Henry Cavill to that list, as he’s just been cast in the tentatively titled Man Of Steel. Or you could if you knew who he was. Handily, we’re here to bring you up to speed.

1. Born Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill in Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, in May 1983, he then moved to mainland Britain to board at Stowe School, situated in Buckinghamshire.
2. The latest Superman reboot isn’t the first time he’s been in the frame for a long-running franchise. Or even the first time he’s been linked with Superman. He narrowly missed out to Brandon Routh on Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns, and was only beaten to Bond by Daniel Craig on the final screen test.
3. More so than most men, Cavill has good reason to resent rival actor Robert Pattinson. Harry Potter fans launched a letter-writing campaign in support of Cavill playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, while Twilight author Stephenie Meyer claimed Cavill was her “perfect Edward”. He was usurped by Pattinson who ended up playing both parts.
4. His breakthrough role was in The Tudors playing Charles Brandon, 1st Duke Of Suffolk. Off the back of the show he landed a high-profile modelling contract in Dunhill’s London fragrance advertising, as well as some blockbuster film offers.
5. Cavill claims that if he hadn’t become an actor he would have either joined the Army or gone to university to study ancient history and Egyptology.

[Rowsdower!]

Damn. $10 bucks to the first person on this board who can figure out how to pronounce "Dalgliesh."

[elgaz]

It's pronounced Dall-Gleesh.

Do you want my Paypal addy?

[Mr. Thing]

Yeah, Dall-gleesh. I'm pretty used to this name though cos of Kenny Dalglish. Former Scotland and Liverpool Soccer player. What a legend that man is.

[Kal-El.9859]

That spitcurl looks absolutely ridiculous in that shot.

that whole scene looks ridiculous to me

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Isn't it kinda weird that no one's gotten an interview with Cavill yet? I wanna hear his thoughts on everything.

Unless they're waiting until Lois is cast so they can do the whole "Meet the new Lois and Clark!" thing.

[DorkyFresh]

has any of the main stars gotten interviews for their respective parts shortly after their casting? if anything, i wouldn't expect one until production is about to begin at the earliest...

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Didn't Garfield get an interview shortly after he was cast? I don't really remember... I wasn't too hyped for Spidey then.

I'm just talking about an interview where Cavill shares his thoughts on finally getting Superman, how he sees Superman, etc. Just seems like there should've been something. Maybe one of the big movie mags will have one in a month or two.

Garfield was cast in early July. But I don't recall him immediately talking it up since filming started this past December. He was however making the press rounds for The Social Network and Never Let Me Go that fall. So he was obviously asked about Spider-Man then.

Eh...it's altogether possible they round up a big press conference on the eve of production starting, like they just did with The Hobbit. At the latest, he'll talk it up during the Immortals junkets.

Cavill (and picture) and Snyder on his audition in EW...

http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/02/17/superman-henry-cavill-interview-ew-cover/ (http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/02/17/superman-henry-cavill-interview-ew-cover/)

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly previews the onslaught of box office super-friends about to descend upon us — and it also brings you the first interview with British actor Henry Cavill (The Tudors) since director Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) and producer Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) tapped him to become Hollywood’s newest Man of Steel. Among the topics of discussion: Cavill’s audition, which included shooting a screen test wearing a replica of Christopher Reeve’s once impressive, now dated Superman suit. “If you can put on that suit and pull it off,” says Snyder, ‘that’s an awesome achievement.” Cavill was feeling less than super in the moment, at least about his ability to fill out the costume: He had just finished shooting a film with Bruce Willis called The Cold Light Of Day, and the part required to him to shed the impressive abs of steel and muscle tone he had put on for the movie he made right before that, the forthcoming mythic fantasy Immortals. As an assistant helped to him put on the Super-suit, Cavill recalls: “All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!” Snyder saw something — or rather someone — different. “He walked out, and no one laughed,” says the director. “Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.’”

[FilmNerdJamie]

Push Cavill to the masses ASAP and sell him as the new Superman with stuff like this?

Very, very smart move, WB.

[batsfan81]

Cool, glad to see they are starting to hype it early. Cavill's gonna be great. He seems to have lost a lot of weight sinse the last pics we've seen of him. You can see it in his face. I wonder how soon he has to begin working out. No worries, i know he'll be ready.

[Compi716]

Very smart PR move by WB.

[green]

Bigger version...:up:

[KRIM]

Anyone else think he looks a lot different now? Not necessarily in a terrible way, but the pics that were posted here when he was cast were a lot better. Maybe it's the hair or supposed weight loss.

Nice. Can't wait to see him in the suit. :supes:

[mclay18]

I like the interview, but the picture they did of Cavill for the EW cover -- less than flattering. He looks a little like Bryan Singer there.
