Love that Henry has a thread! Not only is he perfect looking, I think we'll be seeing him dress as well too!

He is the perfect Superman (next to Christopher Reeve, of course) and the perfect James Bond!

Totally agree! He even expresses again here, that he'd love to do James Bond too. I love that he's doing Supes of course, but my biggest wish for him is and remains that he snags Bond after Daniel.

Daniel was originally contracted for four films. Assuming that contract still stands, we know the third is in the works, we're looking at another four-five years before Daniel is done with Bond probably given all the problems they've been having. If Superman goes well for Henry, I'm sure they'll do more, but I can't see a reason why he shouldn't do Bond as well. Clearly the Bond producers were interested in him last time. My money would be on him or Michael Fassbender to take over from Daniel (cue it being neither of them lol)

Hmm, it's four movies? I thought it was three with the option of one more. Regardless, Daniel may or may not want to move on given that it takes so long between each movie. On the other hand, Daniel might do another one since he's not tied to Bond as they were in the past, i.e. Daniel has been involved in several franchises outside of Bond. Either way, Henry won't be too old as he's only 27 now.

But, if Superman is a success, they might not want him to be attached to another huge franchise. Maybe. I'm hoping it will be okay since Ryan Reynolds can do both Deadpool and Green Lantern which is even for two competing comic studios.

Opening up about his upcoming role as "Superman", Henry Cavill promised fans that this Man of Steel will be different than all the rest.

After reading through the top-secret script, the 27-year-old revealed to MTV that the superhero reboot is "basically just a re-imagining and a modernization of an iconic character."

Still, Henry noted that it's highly important to respect the character fans know and love. He said, "Superman is Superman, after all. There's only so much of a change you can make to that," adding "It's going to be different, but not so different that it's unrecognizable."

The "Superman" set is sure to have some serious star power as Cavill is joined by a cast which includes Amy Adams, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane.

Tarsem Singh talks about Henry casting for “Immortals”

If you didn’t know who British actor Henry Cavill was six months ago, you do now thanks to the 27-year-old actor landing the coveted Man of Steel role in Zack Snyder‘s “upcoming Superman” reboot.

And while it seems like a no-brainer move now—Cavill has the looks, chops and build; he had tested for Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman Begins” and Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” and seemed poised to eventually score one of these plum roles—the actor’s name carried very little weight at the time and to hear the producers of the upcoming “Immortals” tell it, confidence in the actor leading their swords and sandals fantasy epic wasn’t exactly high.

“Henry tested for us and then we stayed with it,” Marc Canton, one of the producers of “Immortals,” said this past weekend at WonderCon of their lead acting choice. “There was a lot of debate about him, because we got pushed back many months in making the movie and eventually we went and we stayed the course [with Henry].”

One person who was absolutely certain about Cavill the entire time and from the moment he met him was director Tarsem Singh, the filmmaker behind the fantasy films, “The Cell,” and “The Fall,” who had hand picked the actor himself after he ruled over all others in screentests.

“They very much hoped that I would have cast a star, and I didn’t,” Singh said, noting that bigger actors had audtioned, but he felt Cavill was exactly right for the part. “I took one scene when I met Henry I just had him read something. Out of ten things [he read] he was there, in six takes, he was there and I just said ‘Okay. I said some piggy’s have it and some don’t and that piggy had it.’ So I pointed, and said, ‘This is the man.’”

“Everybody was like, ‘Okay, he’s kind of not known’, ” Singh continued, noting the initial reluctance of his producers who were concerned about Cavill’s lack of marquee bankability. “But they stuck by me and said, ‘Okay, if you change your mind we’ll go with you, and Henry never gave anybody a reason to [change their minds].”

Then of course, everyone started singing a different tune once Snyder and Christopher Nolan had cast him as the new Superman. “Until three months ago, everybody was kind of like, ‘We wish it was a bigger guy, we wish it was this thing,’ and suddenly he’s cast as ‘Superman’ and suddenly I look like a genius,” he laughed. “[I didn’t tell anyone] I told you so, because I’ll tell them later,” he smirked. “None of [the producers] claim that that conversation happened so I’ll remind them publicly.”

Are the producers happy now? “Yeah! I started yelling out the car window! What am I supposed to do? Thank you god,” Canton exclaimed in a separate interview. Will it help ‘Immortals’? “No question,” he said. “Were you out there [in the WonderCon panel]? The [audience] went crazy.”

“Immortals” hits theaters on November 11th. “Superman” goes into production later this year and won’t hit screens until December 2012.—Reporting by Sean Gillane
