So excited that my BOO is going to be Superman.
I've been waiting for him to get his big break FOREVER!

Hopefully this will get him the recognition he deserves, because he's talented, gorgeous, and has a great personality.
I can't understand why he's not already a superstar.

Loved him in The Tudors, Stardust, and The Count of Monte Cristo!

So excited that he's getting his big break! Good on him!
Also Paullina Simons, the author of the Bronze Horseman trilogy was asking on her facebook fan page if people would like to see Henry play the role of Alexander! Hopefully shes also considering him!

Good for him, getting so much recognition.

To me he'll always be the guy who was perfect as Stephen in I Capture the Castle

 

[Nimue]

Loved him in The Tudors, Stardust, and The Count of Monte Cristo!

Stardust is one of my all-time favorite movie and everytime I watch it I find myself wishing Henry had gotten the lead male role and another actress (my favorite actress) the lead female role! (Even though I think Claire Danes and Charlie Cox were fine in the roles)

I hope Henry's career will skyrocket now.

It's long over due. He's got leading man written all over him and this Superman has good credentials with Snyder directing and Chris Nolan producing. I', looking forward to seeing how he does in Cold Light of Day and The Immortals it should be a good indicator, for me as much as I love JRM he was the star of The Tudors. I just hope he doesn't become too over-exposed in the process it would be a real shame.

^^oh no... Ben Barnes should have played Tristan instead of having like 5 mins on screen as his father!

Thank you for posting the EW cover, I'm really not into comic book movies but I am so happy for Henry, I really hope his career explodes now.

 

[littlepaperstars]

He looks so much cuter when he's not photoshopped to death. He's still beautiful on the cover though.He did a shoot a while ago where he wore proper geek glasses too and looked amazing so he can pull off the Clark Kent thing too. I'm really pleased he's got a big leading role and I'm sure with the combination of Zack Snyder directing and Chris Nolan producing it won't be as bad as the last one, but part of me is lamenting the loss of him as a tasty little secret who not everyone had heard of!

 

[sobriquet87]

Yay! I'm so excited for him!! I can't wait to get this issue.

Love him so much as Superman, but I'm worried this will ruin his chances as the next James Bond -- the other character, he would simply had been perfect for. Now can you buy this issue of EW in other countries? My wall needs some Henry love .

A major piece of that work is now complete: finding an actor who can express the next-gen Superman’s masculinity, gravitas and empathy. Henry Cavill was raised on the small British island of Jersey with limited time for pop culture beyond TV and computer games. The acting big bit during his years at boarding school, and ever since he was 17, “I’ve been chasing the career around the world.” In addition to four seasons of The Tudors, he appeared in such films as 2002’s The Count of Monte Cristo, 2007’s Stardust, and 2009’s Woody Allen comedy Whatever Works.

Snyder says he would have cast Cavill in his 2007 film 300, except the actor was holding out for another job: becoming the next 007. “I came very close,” says Cavill. “The choice was between a younger Bond and a Bond closer to his 30s, which is to say, Daniel Craig.” Cavill disputes reports that he was a contender for Batman Begins (“At least, nobody was talking to me about it”) but confirms he was a top candidate for an earlier version of Superman (to have been directed by McG) that fell apart in 2004. “But here I am, seven years later. Got ya!” he says with a triumphant shake of the fist. “It was wonderful to have a second stab at a job – and as a wiser, older, more experienced actor.”

That experience came in handy during his two-part audition. Last October, he was asked to read some scenes written specifically for the tryout. He came back in January for a screen test and proved he could sell the suit and an American accent. Snyder declines to identify everyone who auditioned for the role, but volunteers that his second choice was True Blood’s Joe Manganiello. “Joe’s a great guy. I really liked him, says Snyder, adding that it came down to a gut decision. “It was about seeing a quality that inspires the inexplicable, mysterious, cool emotion that says, ‘That’s my guy.’”

Two weeks after Cavill’s screen test, Snyder gave him the life-changing call. “I told him that I had some good and bad news: He needed to start working out.” Cavill was home alone in his London apartment at the time. He tried calling his girlfriend and his parents – but he couldn’t get through to anyone. “I was like, ‘This is ridiculous! I’ve just been given the biggest job in history, and nobody’s picking up their bloody phones!”

Soon it’s Cavill who’ll be hard to reach. He’s about to begin getting Super-ripped at Gym Jones, a fitness boutique specializing in building action-hero physiques. And the actor says is eager to get into his own Superman suit. “Even during the audition, even amid my anxiety while wearing the older model, I had this extraordinary feeling: ‘Wow. I’m wearing the cape. I’m wearing the S.’ Extraordinary,” he says. “I can’t wait to do it for real.”

I still want him to get Bond. I absolutely adore Daniel Craig (as Bond too), but Henry would be such a perfect replacement once DC tires of the role.

 

[frk-frost]

I really, really hope Superman will work out well for him. He'd be an amazing Bond! In a few years though. I think Bond is a bit older than he is now. He can grow into that role

 

[advo]

^Oh definitely after DC. But think about it, Bond 23 is out in 2012 and there's usually at least two years in between a new movie so that will make Henry 30. IF, DC decides three films is enough. If not, Henry might not be Bond until he's 32-33 so he'll be a good age for Bond.

Casino Royale was sort of a reboot of Bond, and Bond was clearly meant to be younger than DC was - although, I do also think Henry was too young at the time. If this continuity continues, then it's really a young Bond so Henry is not too young anymore. But, with another couple of years - perfectly timed with DC retiring from the character, Henry would make a great Bond. And he is also young enough to carry the franchise for more than just a couple of movies.

I hope Superman works out too. And I hope it won't stop them from using Henry as well for Bond.
