2015: Let's Get This Show On The Road, Henry Cavill!

The new year is almost here, and as we look ahead to Stratton, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Batman v Superman promo, we also want to bid goodbye to the awesome moments we're leaving behind.

Our Best of 2014 wrap, begins with your choices for Best Fan Picture & Best Surprise of the Year..

Alora took on the babies for 'Best Fan Picture of 2014,' and while it was a tight race she came out the winner! - You told us why:

"The pure unashamed joy of her coupled with the bemusement of him is the essence of fandom. These two pics belong in a Hall of Fame!"

For 'Best Surprise of the Year' there was no beating Supes in his wet suit. Both his charity announcements (Durrell/RMCTF) got plenty of support, but it was Henry doing the Ice Bucket Challenge with Amy Adams, that got the most votes.

"I was losing hope that he would do the ALS Challenge, so when that came out, it made my day. My week, actually. I still watch this video more than it's healthy." (right there with yah!)

2014 started with the thrill of waiting for Batman v Superman to begin filming, and ended with a wrap in New Mexico and the painful realization that we have to wait until March 25, 2016 to watch it.

In between though, we got plenty of set and promotional pictures to keep us going, including our exclusives and some more great shots by @bananadoc.

And who can forget Henry as Superman in Star Wars... Blew. Our. Minds.

There was also Comic-Con, the *huge* Stratton announcement, and fan pics galore from Detroit, Chicago, London, then more Detroit, Chicago, El Paso and Deming. Oh, and don't forget Jersey and L.A. -- Henry gets around! (much respect, Superman).

Kaaaaaal! #SuperPuppyShoutOut

Last time we checked in with Henry was at the end of October, as he participated in the Gibraltar Rock Run. He had a message for you that you really want to watch, because it came from his heart.

Thanks for all your support for Henry and the blog in 2014. We look forward to bringing you much more on him and his projects and charity work in the coming year. Happy 2015 everyone!

Best Surprises Of 2014: End Of The Year Roundup

The start of a new year is always an exciting time at Henry Cavill News, because as much as we look forward to what we know is coming (Stratton filming, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. release, Batman v Superman promo) it's those unexpected announcements that leave us feeling like we just hit the jackpot, every time!

As we wrap up 2014, you've been very vocal about who should win Fan Pic of the Year. Now we want to know what was your favorite Surprise Announcement of the Year. Let us know in the comments section below, or reach out on our social media accounts. We'll include your picks in our year-end review. Here are the finalists.  

1) Henry becomes ambassador for The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.

It was a quiet Monday morning in late May, when the RMCTF tweeted the news that had us cheering for Henry. Not only did they announce he was their new ambassador, they also shared the video where he took on that role for the first time, launching the last leg of the Royal Marines 1664 Challenge. In July they gave us a first look at Henry as Clark, as he supported the charity from the set of Batman v Superman, and a month later we got to break the news that he was participating in the Gibraltar Rock Run (and what an amazing event that was). We can't wait to find out what 2015 will bring!

2) Henry and his 'Batman v Superman' costars surprise the crowd at Comic-Con. 

Okay, this wasn't reaaaally a surprise, since "Super Jedi" was a big clue that something was brewing. But the crowd in Hall H still went wild, as Ben, Henry, and Gal took the stage for the first time together -- and we got that teaser that fans are still talking about. The countdown is on for July, 2015.

3) Henry becomes the first ambassador for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Fund.  

Just when we thought the summer couldn't get any better, we found out Henry was throwing his support behind his hometown charity.. and it involved a cuddly family of gorillas! -- and bats, and tortoises, and some *clearly* starstruck lemurs. The best part? cavillconservation.com is just getting started!

4) Ice bucket awesomeness.  

One chilly Superman, all for charity, and we still can't stop watching.

5) Henry launches production company, and his next role is revealed.

Holy moly, this man just doesn't stop. After going straight from filming on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. to preparing and then filming Batman v Superman, in November we found out he's also taking on producing duties for his next film, Stratton. The movie is based on the books by Duncan Falconer, in which he'll play the action hero who's an operative of the SBS. Filming is set to begin in the spring, and Henry is already preparing for that role (and we're guessing the new 'do will stick around for that).

So there you have it, the five huge surprises we think made this year SUPER special for Henry's fans. Let us know which one was your favorite, as we look forward to whatever 2015 has in store for us. Go Henry!

2014 In Review: Vote For The Best Fan Picture

When you start a blog in support of an actor, you initially don't know what you're gonna get when it comes to fan encounters. Luckily for us, we struck gold with Henry. In our experience he's one of the nicest, most approachable stars with his fans. In fact some of our best posts have been fan generated, thanks to your pictures and stories after meeting Henry. As 2014 comes to a close, we're putting together a year in review post. We'd love for you to tell us, which was your fave fan pic of the year. Below are the finalists. You can cast your vote on the comments section, we'll announce the top fan photo in our 2014 wrap. 

#1 Gjonnyboy

"We laughed it up, we high fived, it was gang busters!"

We had seen Henry earlier in January with another Detroit fan, but it was Gjonny boy's story coupled with our first look at that purple Under Armour sweater that made this pic a finalist.

#2 The Super beard

This is a group entry, because there was just SO. MUCH. GOODNESS. that day. 

#3 Legendary + Curls

Automatically a finalist. No need to explain.

#4  Superman lands at LAX

Taha's story landed this hot pic on the list. "Henry definitely loves his fans." 

#5 The napkin misunderstanding guy and Henry reconnect  

Here's another group entry (told you Henry is THE BEST). What a night.

#6 Loud and proud

Alora just about made our year when she met Henry and was not afraid to show her excitement. Plus her story was the sweetest.


#7 Prince Charming aka Henry Cavill

This fan picture stands on its own merit. Jesssteff mentioned that she almost passed out when she met Henry. Can you blame her?

#8 Henry's sweetest gestures

These are gonna be tough to beat. When we saw Josephine's photo with Henry we nearly melted. And then came Ava.


#9 Batman v Superman: Texas Style!

That time when Henry was awesome with absolutely everyone in El Paso.. and we can't thank him enough.

Okay everyone, time to vote!
