It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s, Superman Henry Cavill? What? Who’s that you may ask?
If you have not yet heard of Cavill, you will once he plays the man of steel in the next installment of Superman!
Yes, that’s right, the British actor, best known for his role of Charles Brandon in The Tudors, has just been cast as the next man-o-steel in director Zack Snyder’s new reboot of the franchise.
Per the NY Times, Warner Brothers is planning on releasing a new Superman film sometime in the next two years, to be directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan. Says Snyder of Cavill as Superman:
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”
Looking at the photo of Cavill, I must say, I approve!
