Welcome to Mrcavill.com, a comprehensive source for information and more on British talent Henry Cavill. You may recognize him from his major role as Charles Brandon in the acclaimed series The Tudors. Being cast as the new Superman, you'll probably hear a lot about him. Check back for the latest news, photos, and more!
Things are pretty quiet on Henryland this days, so I think you’d like to read this article. Enjoy:
DOES Henry Cavill have what it takes to wear the Man of Steel’s cape in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, “Man of Steel”? If you didn’t see Tarsem Singh’s “Immortals” last year, “The Cold Light of Day” (showing this week), the actioner Cavill topbills with Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver, has the answer—and it’s a positive one.
We’re talking about the hunky actor’s performance, not the movie, which follows the misadventures of Will (Cavill), a Wall Street trader who finds himself running all over Madrid after his family is kidnapped during a sailing trip in Spain.
In the incoherent course of the darkly photographed movie, the distraught Will learns that his father (Willis) not only has a second family in the Spanish capital, but is also revealed to be a rogue CIA operative who has possession of a contentious briefcase that contains important documents—though the movie never divulges what they are.
The action-thriller meanders all the way into its perfunctory finale—but, at least Cavill demonstrates that there’s more to him than his good looks. His acting choices are consistently spot-on, from beginning to end.
This bodes well for the upcoming big-screen “rebirth” of the DC universe’s Mightiest Superhero, which comes in the heels of the disappointing “Green Lantern.” Of course, Batman’s “Dark Knight” trilogy is in a class all its own, because the brilliant Christopher Nolan is behind it.
Today is Henry’s 29th birthday, and MrCavill.com would like to wish him a great day with his beloved ones. We’ll be here cheering for you another year, wishing you continued success!
Feel free to leave a birthday message to him in our comments.
Mark Twight, the lead fitness trainer on Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel, received this very cool commemorative coin from actor Henry Cavill to “remember the satisfyingly hard work and good times.” Here’s his statement to the crew:
“Thank you so much for all of your hard work over such a long shoot. During shooting I discovered that the US military have a series of coins to commemorate each department and individual force within the military so I thought, considering the epic journey we all went through on such an iconic project, it only fair that we have our own coin too! This is just a little souvenir to keep and remember the satisfyingly hard work and the good times from start to finish – Henry Cavill”
Twight’s wife shared a photo of the coin with her followers on Twitter.
There is little over a year before the latest superman movie Man of Steel is due to hit the box offices around the globe, Dylan Sprayberry who plays a teenage Clark Kent has been interviewed about the experience and it seem that Man of Steel will be a lot “darker” than previous versions of the comic book superhero.
“When Zack (Snyder) and I were talking about it the first time, he was saying how Superman, they want to give it a more edgy feel like The Dark Knight but also make it more realistic and emotional so it’s not just the all-american superhero that saves everyone. He has dilemmas and love and struggles throughout the whole movie, especially when he’s a kid.”
And on participating in the movie,
“It was really great. I didn’t even really notice how big it was until I finished shooting. It was so overwhelming that it was crazy, I was like “I can’t believe I just did all that.” In the moment, I was really focused on the work and the acting.”
Along with Henry Cavill who is playing the man of steel himself the movie also stars a couple of Hollywood’s heavyweights Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe as well as Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Julia Ormond and Michael Shannon and is directed by Zack Snyder and is due to hit theatres middle of June 2013.
I went ahead and added 120 new HQ pictures of Henry promoting Immortals at the World premiere, plus some new ones of him at Leno show back in November. Check it:
The Man of Steel wrapped up filming a month or so ago, with Henry Cavill sporting at least some kind of resemblance to the iconic look of Superman’s hair. While Cavill may not have featured the “S” curl — at least as Superman — he did have some hair nonetheless.
Now, a new image has surfaced of Cavill featuring a buzz cut. It is unknown whether or not Cavill buzzed his head for a new movie, or to just look like the following super fan — Rob Allan!
Rob met Henry on a flight in Dublin, and posted the following pic on the Man of Steel Fan FB Page.
Pretty cool. For more from Henry Cavill check out Immortals currently on Blu-Ray, The Cold Light Of Day this coming Fall, and the Man of Steel in June of 2013.
