A photo posted by Modern Display (@moderndisplay) on Nov 28, 2015 at 7:27am PST

A  Salt Lake City shop has just shared their wintry photo with Henry. He was there training for Batman v Superman in December of 2013, when he walked in to get ready for the holidays.

Here are the rest of the pics from that day. The fan who posted the photo went on to say that Henry was "such a nice guy," and "so fun to work with."

Right now Henry is filming Sand Castle in Jordan which wraps in January, but hopefully this year he gets to be home for Christmas.

Henry On Almost Becoming A Royal Marine, How Acting Helped Him Escape Bullies

London based Loaded men's magazine, has just relaunched as a digital publication and they have a new interview with Henry!

In it he talks about almost becoming a Royal Marine (which he now represents through their charity):

“My brother Niki is a bit of a ninja and I probably would have joined the Royal Marines if acting hadn’t worked out. That would have been my target.”

He also mentions how acting helped him escape bullies when he was in school:

“I was bullied, but no-one could make fun of me when I was playing a character on stage, because it was what I was told to do. The bullies told me, ‘Actually, you were quite good in that’. It felt so good that I thought acting was probably something I should pursue.”

And what about that journey of 1,000 miles that mentor Russell Crowe mentioned when Henry asked him for acting advice?

“I think I’m probably creeping up towards the 2,000-mile mark of that journey now. I’m on the next portion of the journey now… to the mountain range.”

The journalist who wrote the article, seemed to shade it with his personal view of the military. So keep that in mind when you're reading his full interview with Henry. You can check it out at Loaded magazine. 

This week Henry also landed on Vulture's list of "Most Valuable Stars of 2015."

Henry came in at #70 ahead of stars like Nicole Kidman, Robert De Niro, Russell Crowe, and Jessica Chastain. 

You can read more on how Vulture came up with the rankings and who else made the list on their site. Way to go Superman ;)

Ever since he joined Instagram and Facebook last month, Henry has also been ranking higher on IMDb. This week he comes in at #36, with The Man from U.N.C.L.E. holding its ground as the 6th most popular movie on the site behind the latest Hunger Games, Spectre, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Go Solo! -- Hope you've already picked up your Blu-ray/DVD which is out for some of you. The UK gets it December 7th.

We're a little bit more than four months away from the release of Batman v Superman, and Henry will soon be filming Sand Castle in Jordan, so make sure to keep checking back with us. Things are about to get a lot busier around here.

Fan Runs Into Henry At Grocery Store: "About To Start Filming"

The guys over at On The Flix, just posted this latest photo of Henry in Michigan. This is what they shared about the fan (DJ Juice) who met Henry & girlfriend, Gina Carano, at a Detroit area grocery store:

This interaction took place last week, and Henry told him, he was about to start filming the new Batman vs. Superman flick. He described Henry as being a very friendly guy. DJ also told us that he was picked to be an extra on the film, so congrats to him for that huge gig. 

We're standing by for filming news from Detroit. As soon as we hear, you'll hear. In the meantime, check out our latest wrap.

'Batman vs. Superman' Latest: Not Everything Is A Sign

The last few days have brought tidbits of news on Batman vs. Superman but nothing major, i.e., no Man of Steel sightings just yet. Excruciating pain remember?.. anyway, here's what we have.

First off, today cinematographer Larry Fong, seemed to dismiss rumors that the card in the pic he shared on Instagram has anything to do with an appearance by The Joker in the film.

@ErikDavis Finally, someone who can see the obvious. Thank you.
— Larry Fong (@larryfong) May 20, 2014

Yet since Larry has actually posted what could be considered Batman vs. Superman teasers, you can't not go there can you? - like we've said before, coverage on what's really going on behind the scenes during filming is guess work at best. Fun times. And while we agree with Steve over at Collider..

I truly do not understand people that want to learn the twists and turns of a movie 2 years out. It makes no sense. Why ruin the experience.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) May 19, 2014

I love not knowing. I love being blown away by a shot or scene or twist I didn't see coming.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) May 19, 2014

We're also like..

My friend:"Well I'm not gonna get excited about a film that comes out in 4 months.." Meanwhile I'm itching for BatmanVsSuperman details...
— Ross Arnold (@RossArnoldSan) May 20, 2014

'Itch' is definitely the word, especially when you hear Jesse Eisenberg talk to MTV, about what convinced him to play Lex Luthor:

“The character is, luckily, a really great character” (..) “Actors can sometimes find really cool things in characters that aren’t written well. This character is written really well.”

He goes on to say the one thing he doesn't love, is getting recognized more often:

“You’re just exposed to more people, so walking down the street is more annoying.”

Who knew Lex was so modest. While Jesse has said he's not arriving in Detroit until mid-June, Ben Affleck has definitely joined Henry in the Motor City and appears to be settling in. A Detroit TV station caught up with him at an area gym Sunday. You can see the pics on their site. And Kevin Smith just shared more details on the Batman suit during his latest podcast:

"If you want to see what this f'ing suit looks like, you just go to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, go to the third book: Hunt the Dark Knight. It's the exact f'ing outfit he's wearing. That's why I hugged that guy all those months ago (Man of Steel Q&A), I f'ing weep. When I saw it I was like, "Oh my God, you're doing a f'ing outfit I never imagined I'd see in a movie in my lifetime.""   

You can listen to the part where he mentions the suit, teasing there could be more than one (and see the artwork) at about 1:35. Thanks for the heads-up Juan Mimendi.

As for Gal Gadot, we now have a much better look at her in costume as Diana Prince, on the very French set of Batman vs. Superman Friday.

You can find everything else from that day in our wrap. Over the weekend Gal was spotted back in Tel Aviv taping a commercial for a clothing company. But as you can see work continues ahead of a busy shooting schedule at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac.

'Batman vs. Superman' Filming: Here We Go!

It's all been leading up to this week. Man of Steel began to take shape in January of 2011, as Henry was cast as the Superman for the next generation. Fast forward to a hit origin story last summer, where he proved he was indeed the best man to take on the superhero role. Now with the official start of filming on the Man of Steel sequel reportedly set for tomorrow, we're eager to see where he takes Superman next. Henry has been in Detroit since January, possibly already filming some scenes. But it wasn't until Friday, that fans got a first glimpse of the Batman vs. Superman crew, as they shot a scene with Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot. Now we're ready for the main course: Bring on Man of Steel and that tweaked suit of his ;)

Look for Batman vs. Superman filming updates as they come in. You can also keep up with our posts, by checking out this handy link that you can find on our main page. And by all means, if you live in Detroit and spot filming, please tweet us/email us: henrycavillnews@gmail.com/or send us a message on Facebook. We'd love to pass on your pics, videos and reports to the rest of the fandom. Here we go!

Batman vs. Superman: First Look At Gal Gadot As Wonder Woman, Production Crew In Detroit

There she is! - thanks to some alert fans, today we have a first look at not only Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, but also the first shots of the Batman vs. Superman production team in the Detroit area.

Mike went on to say that it was the same shot over and over, of Gadot leaving the building and getting into a car. He said he did not recognize anyone else on set. Don't miss the rest of the pics in the link below, with director Zack Snyder in da HOUSE. Thanks Eric!

@HenryCavillNews @SpartanBerj @Mike0686 Photos I snapped this morning during the shoot. https://t.co/Rnc3hpGNKC
— Eric Kmetz (@EricKmetz) May 16, 2014

We had heard a photo shoot was taking place in the area today, not necessarily filming. We're leaning towards that assumption, after the Seeds Marketing and Design agency posted the picture below (on IG) with this caption: "Still shoot for Batman vs. Superman outside our office today." We reached out to them and they confirmed that indeed they were told it was a photo shoot. Not to say filming has not begun, since we have seen online mentions of potential sets in the last few weeks. Either way, the rumored official start date is Monday and we'll likely get an announcement from Warner Bros. soon. For now we're just super excited to get our first glimpse at Gal Gadot as Diana Prince (she looks smokin'!). Now we're waiting for THE MAN to appear. What an epic day that will be! -- Updates as they come in.    

UPDATE: We thought the excitement was over for today.. and then Batman vs. Superman set photographer Clay Enos shared this awesome pic of Zack. Thank you guys, and good luck with the shoot.

"He Is Superman, And It Is Really, Really Impressive"

If you keep up with our filming updates, you know we are big fans of photographer Clay Enos and his work not only in Man of Steel, but in other films as well. Now he's given an interview to the guys that run the Kind of Epic Show podcast, and you don't want to miss it. Clay talks Watchmen and his coffee journey, but of course what we were most excited to hear about, was his experience working with Henry.

 
How awesome it is to just to be on set and be like "Oh, I'm standing next to Superman?"

There is something very special, and I remember on the set of Man of Steel, there was a scene that shows up in the end of the movie.. I don't remember exactly when we filmed it. But Henry was there in full costume, and it was a moment that I guess would feel like an 8-year-old going to see Santa Claus. You have this image in your head of certain things, whether the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, the Empire State Building and then there you are in front of it.. and it's shocking. And sure enough, there I was even though it wasn't my first day of filming and I had seen Henry in costume dozens of times, if not hundreds.. but that day, you wanted to sit on his lap and tell him what you wanted for Christmas. He is, he is, Superman.. and it is really, really impressive. And again, as I stated earlier, coming from the Watchmen sensibility it's even that much more impressive how much Henry is Superman.

Clay also shot Henry's training as he became Superman for the Soldier of Steel campaign (and hopefully for Batman vs. Superman).

Clay goes on to talk about the costumes created by designer Michael Wilkinson (he calls them "incredible"), and whether we'll see his photographs in a movie companion book to Batman vs. Superman like we did with the Man of Steel one. He also describes how he goes about shooting the actors, without disturbing the work of others on a busy film set such as Man of Steel.

The whole chat it filled with wonderful details about Clay's work, but the Man of Steel/Batman vs. Superman talk really begins at about 31:30. Enjoy, and thanks to the Kind of Epic Show for the awesome interview.

We can't wait to see what Clay's collaboration with Zack Snyder bring us this time around. You can see much more of Clay's work on his site.

Batman vs. Superman: Ben and Henry Bringing The Big Guns

@HenryCavillNews Who needs powers & gadgets - they're bringing big guns!
— ComicsBlendWill (@ComicsBlend) May 15, 2014

Yes, yes Ben, we see your “tired and weary and seasoned” Batman muscles. All lies of course, since what we hear you're REALLY doing, is preparing to give our Supes a kryptonite-powered beating. Ben was spotted in L.A. Tuesday, with filming on Batman vs. Superman expected to begin any day now in Detroit. Here are the rest of the pics of a buff Batman. Nice try, but good luck sizing up to Superman's guns..

(We know these are from Henry's Man of Steel days. He's BIGGER now).  

If you're feeling #SadBatman today, do yourself a favor and check out the hashtag on Instagram or Twitter. We can guarantee, it will have you smiling in no time.

World's Finest: Let The Fan Art Creations Begin!

Now that we have a first look at Ben Affleck as Batman, fans have moved on to imagining how he will look next to Henry's Superman. We've come across some really cool fan (and professional) art, that we've put together along with the latest news on Batman vs. Superman. Check it out!

Cinema Blend takes a closer look at some of the details of the Batman suit, give it a read. Also, here's a refresher for those of you not keeping track, of what the style of the suit could mean for Superman (no bueno).

Today we heard from the man who created not only the Batman suit, but also the Wonder Woman one and the tweaked Man of Steel suit. We can't wait to see the rest of Michael Wilkinson's creations. 

Thanks everyone for the amazing feedback, tweets and messages .... #Batman @BBCWorld #ZackSnyder http://t.co/wh607ON4fl

As for the Batmobile, Blue Realm Studios shared a picture of a model that looks a whole lot like the car. See it and read more at Batman-News.com.

Image: FogDark7

As soon as the new image was released by director Zack Snyder, eagle-eyed fans immediately started looking for Easter eggs. Some say you can see The Joker in the background. Yes, that smiling face by the wheel of the car. We're not so sure (you can see it a lot better in this post). Then again, cinematographer Larry Fong (UncleWow on IG) has been posting clues from the set. Just a few weeks ago, he shared this image..

Whether we see The Joker in the film or not, we are definitely getting Lex Luthor. Jesse Eisenberg can't talk much about his role, but he did mention how he plans to tackle it while chatting with IGN:

IGN Movies: (..) How much of a game changer will your Lex Luthor be from the incarnations we've seen of this character in the past?

Jesse Eisenberg: It'll definitely be played by a different person, but I don't know really how different this -- I don't know the history as well as the people making the movie, so I guess it's up to them to figure out how much they want to separate it from previous incarnations. But I will treat it like it's its own role. There's no way to play the history of the character played by other people, unless you do some kind of wink, but that doesn't seem like a responsible way to act. So I will just do it as though it's a character, in the same way you do a movie like The Double, which is a smaller movie -- but you just kind of treat it like a character, and that's probably the best course of action, I think.

Read the rest at IGN. Filming reportedly begins Monday, and we're ready to bring you the latest Batman vs. Superman news as it happens. Let's do this Man of Steel!

LAX Encounter Details: Henry "Definitely Loves His Fans"

We have an update on this awesome photo shared by Taha Esa, after he met Henry at LAX earlier this month. He was out of the country and is just now responding to the fan reaction to the pic. He said he intro'd by saying: "Hey Clark! put my glasses on before anyone recognizes you! and he (Henry) laughed hysterically!" -- he mentioned that the ten minutes he chatted with him "felt more like 15" (us: HEAVEN). He also said "Henry is a great listener and talker and definitely loves his fans," adding: "What's cool is that he asked me if I wanted to take a pic with HIM. soo chill." 

Seriously, nothing but deep respect for Henry when we hear these stories. Here's more:

@HenryCavillNews Thanks for putting the pic up! Sorry for the late reply! But he's an awesome guy and a real inspiration! #CaviLLAX!

And guess what?.. HE TOOK EIGHT PICS. Here's a new one he just shared with this caption.

Cam guy did not know how to work an iphone lol. In this pic, Henry was trying to tell him to push the round button! pic.twitter.com/PD3iIi3aiJ
— Taha Esa (@TahahahahaXD) May 13, 2014

When we asked if he could share the rest, he had this to say..

@HenryCavillNews hahaha! they're all basically the same pics! the guy just kept clicking over and over! Mr. Cavill was a bit confused 0_o
— Taha Esa (@TahahahahaXD) May 13, 2014

Oh, but they're not the same, NEVER enough of a smiling Henry. Taha Esa promised to share more of his encounter with us, so stay tuned for that. We're just happy to hear the great response from everyone who meets Henry.

UPDATE - Read the full account:

I first saw him in my connecting flight from Detroit to LAX. Since it was hot in Detroit, he was not actually wearing the jacket that he has in the photo we took. He was wearing a light blue collared t-shirt and yes people, it was very TIGHT. I noticed him because he was the only guy getting on my flight that looked as though his muscles were suffocating through his clothing haha! He was talking to one or two other people and when I saw his face I immediately recognized him. The flight was a Boeing 767 so there were two lanes that lead to the seats inside the plane. I was hoping that when I boarded I could pass him by, but to my ironic luck, he was in the far right corner of first class. I was walking down the left lane and spotted him from afar. I also noticed that he was reading a book. If my memory serves me right, it looked like one of the books from the series “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin, but I could be wrong. Although, it would be pretty awesome if Henry Cavill was a Game of Thrones fan hahaha!

I was sitting in the back of the plane and I posted on my Facebook about how superman is on my flight. Immediately, my friends began texting me and telling me to talk to him and take a picture with him. I just told them that it most likely won’t happen at all. In fact, I didn’t even expect to meet the Man of Steel under any circumstances. However, after being pushed by my friend, Ebony, and my sister, Sania, I finally told them I’ll try my best but most likely nothing will happen. At that moment I just prayed for my health and safety but I made an additional prayer lol. I told God that if he can get me to meet Superman, I will be happy and grateful, and if he didn’t I’ll still be happy and grateful for everything I have in my life.

When the plane landed I tried to rush out as soon as possible. Obviously Mr. Cavill was already off the plane but I noticed the seat where he was sitting had a BUNCH of water bottles around it. Anyways, I ran out of the flight and took a shortcut through the terminal. When I got to the baggage claim there were not that many people in the area and to my slight disappointment Mr. Cavill was nowhere to be found. I thought to myself that it was a domestic flight and he most likely didn’t check any bags. Before I could think any further, I saw him walking out of the terminal with a chaperon and I was just staring at him like a creep lol.

He was standing in front of the baggage claim belt and I didn’t want to just approach him like any other fan wanting to take a picture. I was trembling a bit and had my glasses in hand. I looked down at my glasses and had an idea as I approached him from his left,

“Psst! Clark! Quickly! Put these on before anyone recognizes you!”

To which he laughed hysterically. He then asked me if I would like to take a picture with him and I told him that I don’t want to take too much of his time,

“No, no, it’s completely alright, mate!” his English accent wasn’t too thick but easily noticeable.

In any case, I took a few photos with him and we chatted for a bit. We talked about the last movie he was in, what it means to be Superman, what it means to be an actor, and acting in general. I told him that I do some acting myself, that I know how hard it is to become a completely different character, and that I have a ton of respect for him after the last Superman movie. I also apologized to him because when he was first cast as Superman, I thought he wasn’t going to do a good job but I was totally wrong. He put his hand on my shoulder and was very understanding as he told me that it’s completely normal to think that way.

Essentially, our conversation didn’t feel like one between a celebrity and a fan. It just felt like a discussion between two young men who have intense respect, passion, and love for acting. He enjoyed my sense of humor and respected my views. In addition to all of this, I noticed that his attention was nowhere else. He was making eye contact the whole time and not once was he distracted. Just goes to show that he’s a good listener. My sister says he would be the perfect boyfriend after I told her about that haha! In any case, I could tell he wasn’t too bored with me and that he appreciated being able to talk to someone like a human being rather than an iconic celebrity. I thought it would be a bit annoying to him if I asked him about the upcoming Batman vs Superman movie so I didn’t.

After what felt like a long conversation, I thought that I was taking up too much of his time so I told him, “Well, Thank you for your time Mr. Cavill. Sorry again if I was taking up too much of it”. He shook my hand and said “Not a problem at all. I enjoyed talking with you. Have a great night my friend!”

I am indeed a fan of Henry Cavill, but now I am an even bigger fan of Henry: a man who is respectable in the sense of being a person, not just an actor. Definitely a night to remember and I really hope I get to meet that guy again someday, J.

Here are more pics!

What do we always tell you: Henry Cavill  is a true Superman. Thanks so much for sharing Taha.

And just like that, Batman vs. Superman director Zack Snyder made grown men cry. He had teased a Batmobile reveal, and instead he delivered a first look at Ben Affleck as Batman and his oh, SO SWEET ride. The car was designed by Patrick Tatopoulos, who previously worked on 300: Rise of an Empire with Snyder. The suit was created by costume designer Michael Wilkinson, who shared a preview and talked Henry Cavill with us when we caught up with him in L.A. Here's a closer look at his design.

Batman vs. Superman director Zack Snyder nearly gave us a heart attack, when he tweeted this picture of the Batmobile, teasing its reveal. We were the first to report that it was finished back in March, and now we're preparing ourselves for a first look at the model that will be used in the film. Oh, and remember what we told you about clues being everywhere?.. the windowpane photo shared by cinematographer Larry Fong last week (UncleWow on IG) seems familiar ;) We see your game Larry and Zack.. and we LOVE IT.   

Also of note, schmoesknow.com just interviewed Lex Luthor himself, Jesse Eisenberg:

Speaking to the Schmoes about the script for the still untitled sequel (BATMAN VS SUPERMAN), Mr. Eisenberg told the Schmoes he was very impressed with the script, saying it was a GREAT script; which ultimately led to him taking on the iconic role.

Though the Schmoes couldn’t get much out of him (obviously) they did find out that Mr. Eisenberg will begin filming in exactly one month from now.

Jesse also talks about how he's dealing with the fan reaction, to him being cast as the iconic DC villain. Read the rest at their site. And don't miss the new pics from the Batman vs. Superman party this past weekend!

Finally this, from Gal Gadot..

Post by ‎Gal Gadot - גל גדות‎.

The final countdown HAS BEGUN!

'Batman vs. Superman' Production Update: Almost Time!

It's pretty clear that waiting two years for Batman vs. Superman to come out, will be quite a test for fans eager to see the superheroes collide and eventually unite on the big screen. But at least filming is about to officially get underway, with the rumored start date a week from Monday. So what are we in for? - judging by the first casting call that asked for "military types" and Shotokan911's announcement, LOTS of fire power!

Shotokan911 will be working on the new Superman/Batman movie filming n Detroit this summer. Meeting wrapped up, work begins soon! More to come.

This video showcases some of the work the company does, including training actors for a variety of scenarios on film:

Everything from high speed pursuit driving, police martial arts, simulated weapons, to actual firearms training on a private state-of-the-art gun range. 

Martial arts and weapons skills huh?.. that could come in handy for someone like say, Gal Gadot aka Wonder Woman as you saw in the video. But also for some of those potential extras, who were asked if they had any law enforcement training. We're sure we'll learn more as filming progresses. As for Gadot, she reportedly arrived in Michigan last month, but it wasn't until this week that she confirmed the news with this post.

Post by Gal Gadot - גל גדות.

And don't hold your breath for an official title. Tao Okamoto just told The Daily Beast (via): "that decision has not been finalized" (seriously??!!).

Tao also confirmed she's set to start filming in June. The superhero light is about to turn green, and we are 

SOOOOO...

Stay tuned for the latest on Batman vs. Superman as it happens!

Two Years From Today: Oy, This Is Gonna Be A Painful Wait

Fan art: Unleash the Fanboy

UPDATE: Warner Bros. has delayed the release of Ben Affleck's Live by Night, which offers further proof that Justice League & Batman vs. Superman will likely film back to back. Yippee!

We thought when the big day came, we'd be super excited about the milestone. But now that we're here we realize exactly HOW. MUCH. PAIN. we're gonna be in for the next 24 months, as we wait for Batman vs. Superman to hit theaters. 24 MONTHS. Ugh, it sounds way longer that way.

Our only hope is that with the official start of filming soon, we'll get a sneak peek of Henry on set to remind us why we must survive this torture. Okay, so we're exaggerating a little. In fact we have gotten some clues here and there of what's going on behind the scenes. Cinematographer Larry Fong did tweet that blurry pic a few weeks ago that left us wanting more. And just this week, this.

Larry posted the photo on his Instagram account (UncleWow) with the caption: "Halfway there." Let's see, 333 + 333 = You do the Doomsday math. Of course we're just guessing, but we see your game Zack and Larry.. and we like it!

The nice thing about following the main players on their social media postings, is that you also get candid pics like this one, of director Zack Snyder calmly walking along some tracks, possibly scouting for locations. See the Kent sign in the back? nice touch Larry.

Photographer Clay Enos also gave twitter the heads up, that he's headed back to Detroit.

So really, the clues are out there. You just have to know where to find them. And just imagine if this prediction by Latino Review comes true.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Three years from today maybe, just maybe, might be known as CINCO DE JUSTICE LEAGUE!

What a couple of Henry Cavill birthday bashes await us in 2016 and 2017 if that's the case. To hold us over, check out these recently found pics from the Man of Steel photoshoot by Jason Bell. Oh yeah, we can wait for you Clark Kent/Superman. Till the cows come home.
