Henry Cavill Is The New Superman
Because only hot pieces of British ass can play superheroes (see Christian Bale & Andrew Garfield), Henry Cavill, who may have made your nipples burn and your cod piece hot in The Tudors, will stuff his goods into a pair of shiny blue spandex tights to play Superman (or as my abuelita calls him, superguapo!). Zack Snyder (director of 300, Sucker Punch and Watchmen) is directing the latest redo of Superman and he had this to say about Henry:
"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."
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Zack. Save some of those fancy words for when you announce you're going to direct a live-action IMAX 3D spectacular version of She-Ra starring Shauna Sand. But YAY and all that for Henry. Hopefully, his career turns out better than the last dude who played Superman in a movie. Shit will work out for Henry as long as he doesn't make the same mistake Brandon Routh made which is to play a fully clothed Superman. Seriously, it's 2011 and we're due for a nekkid ass nekkid Superman! It's a bird! It's a peen!

You couldn't have posted a photo of him not wearing a shirt? For shame. You know, I don't have Superman's x-ray vision and, anyway, I'm not sure that would work on a computer monitor.

He's delish. Loved him in the Tudors. Super sexy :)
I have always wondered why this guy is not a big star. Maybe this is his chance!
What wonderful news!
Enough with the superheroes!
The problem with the last Superman movie was the crapola boring script, Kate Bosworth (too young, too thin, married, awful) not that Brandon fella. But also Christopher Reeve was PERFECT in the role. That and the world has moved on, the idea is so dated.
No idea who this is but he looks like a hybrid of Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestly with an unsavory whiff of Levi Johnston.
What's the use of having a Superman if he doesn't have an impressive physique? Then he's just another wanker in a lycra suit with not enough charisma to distract from an unrealistic plot. Isn't one Spiderman enough?
----------------------------------------------------------
Who are you calling silly cow?
Chris Reeve will never be upstaged as the blue-black haired hottie in a cape. Any new reprisal of Superman is a bad idea IMO. Inspector Gadget was also hot, and reminds me of Kevin Nealon, so go ahead and rate the value of my opinion according to that.
HOT HOT HOT!!

If they really feel the need to make another Superman movie, the actor who plays Clark on Smallville should do it. He is talented and much hotter than this guy.
Submitted by K2: "New superman? again?
The REAL superman unfortunately is dead. His name is Christopher Reeve. No one can EVER complete the role like he did. We should all only remember Superman as he portrayed him ... We had Superman I, II and III ... and that's all we'll ever need ! ENOUGH with these remakes.
But if you really want to see another handsome devil play superman ... then they should beg Jon Hamm to do it!"
Agree 1,000,000 percent.
And Tobey Maguire as Spiderman? That was the dumbest thing ever. Almost as dumb as Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble.
This smells like FAIL.

Since this article is about a star of The Tudors, can I ask when someone is going to make Natalie Dormer (she played Anne Boleyn)happen?!
That hot slut is a STAH. She stole every scene she was in.

OMG - I love her! I would love to see her on the big screen.
EDIT: She's going to be in Captain America, how appropriate to the super hero topic.
OMG STOP the effing superhero reboots and remakes!
Although I LOVE Cavill, he's hot as hell, this idea of a movie is horrible. Sooooo tired of Hollywood's ideas.

Good for him!
He was up for Batman, Superman Returns and James Bond but considered too young for both, he also was Stephanie Meyer's first choice for Edward in Twilight but was too old.
finally his hotness gets a starring role
Henry C. literally makes me stop breathing he's so hot. In the movie "whatever works" the way he looks at Even Rachel Wood makes me tingle. His ass is perfection in Tudors too. Gotdayum. Perfect.

Jan Terri for Hot Slut. "Losing You" is catchy and needs someone to remake it, a la this guy who gives us an acoustic rendition of the gifted Maxine Swaby's song "Pardon Me."

Not only is the US losing its superpower status, it can't even produce superheroes. When Spider-man starts speaking Mandarin, I'm moving out.

I enjoyed The Tudors while it was on. I have to say that the last two seasons were not the best, but I was a faithful watcher. I am super excited about The Medici series taking The Tudors place with Jeremy Irons this Spring.
The Borgias is going to be epic, no doubt about it. I am stupidly excited for the premiere too.

Joe Mangianello ("hot werewolf") is too old for the role, plus he's a terrible actor. That's probably why they're choosing British (and occasionally Australian) actors for these roles: they're very pretty and they have actually been trained to act. And they can act! They're not insufferable, egomaniacal idiot savants like most American actors.
It's a little dicier with Australians - Worthington is awful, but Chris Hemsworth is OK. Really, "hot pieces of British ass" is the way to go these days.
Ah - loved him since I Capture the Castle, even though Garai falling in love with wimpy old Henry Thomas/lumpy old Marc Blucas instead of Cavill strained credulity to the extreme. Glad he's getting a shot at being a US star, and SO GLAD they didn't cast the wooden, charm-free Sam Worthington or Channing Tatum in the role.

Andrew Garfield is neither British nor hot, btw.
He was raised in England, and went to school there. I think he was just born in the US. He spent most of his life in the UK.
Okay, now if they replace Kate Can't Act For Shit Bosworth, the movie might not be the black hole of suck that the last one was.
Agreed that Superman should be a corn fed Iowa boy. I have yet to see a Brit who can pull that off. That "American" look has only been done by a few foreigners (Canadians don't count the only thing that seperates us is a border and an accent).
I'm sick as fuck and still have to be at work. This is definitely going to improve my already shitty day. Henry Cavill is the hotness.

I wish he would read DListed with me more often. He cracks up when I show him certain things on here, but he's not too interested in celebrity gossip. He gets a kick out of MK's nicknames for some celebrities - like Skeletor, Falcor, etc.
He got the werewolf rumor from one of those comic book movie websites. He's obsessed with comic books and graphic novels.

Superman is a ridiculously dated superhero anyways. What are they going to do, give him a "gritty" remake? Fuck that.
HOLLYWOOD, PLZ TO COME UP WITH ORIGINAL IDEAS KTHKX.
PS: I always mistake Brandon Routh for Jim Caviziel (played Jesus on The Passion of Mel Gibson), which kind of turns me off because Caviziel is a God freak.
OMG, I love him...he is the hotness. That scene on The Tudors with Henry and Princess Mary on the boat. my. god. *fans self*.
I'll watch this when it comes out on OnDemand.

I agree about casting coke eyes as Henry Tudor, but as the series went along I thought he got a little better. He certainly has pyscho and misogyny down anyway. The girl who played Anne Boleyn rocked. I havent seen the last season, its coming in the mail. I freaking love netflix though.

The Tudors wasn't that great although Henry Cavill was good in his role. Have to agree that coke eyes wasn't the best choice for his role. For campy soft core porn and gore, I watch Spartacus! :D Way better than the Tudors (ok, not really, just different but I love me some Spartacus/Andy Whitfield).

As for Spartacus: Blood and Sand- LOVE IT! I was glued to that series from day one and Andy Whitfield is great as Spartacus. Not feeling the new series through, although I have only seen one episode so far.
It is such a shame that Andy is so ill and will not be able to reprise his role as Spartacus (hence the reason for the series prequel that is currently running). Whitfield wants the series to continue and is supposedly helping them find a new actor to take his place, although they creators and Starz are not certain if they want to conitnue without Andy.
I hope Andy gets better and the series continues.

Approved!
However, it was not Brandon Routh that loused the last Super-Man.
It was Kate Bosworth and her raggedy hair!

And her tweetyrexia.
The Superman movies should have ended when Christopher Reeve was still alive (and before he was paralyzed).
Die, super hero movies. Fucking DIE.
Harpo?! Who is this woman?
Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.
I like henry because I loved him on The Tudors, but I feel like Superman has been done to death. The movie isn't going to do well.

Zack Snyder's movies are so overrated. "300" was this big, hetero, homoerotic abs fest with lots of yelling and boob showing by the only two women in the film (Queen Gorgo and Oracle Girl). Then we have his remake of "Day of the Dead," which you have to work hard at screwing up. It helped that he had a great cast, led by Sarah Polley, and I welcomed the scary addition of zombies that moved like BritBrit when she hears that there is a sale at Strawberry's.
