This is a first look at Henry as John Stratton via GFM Film's promo at Cannes. Henry is looking fierce, and of course extremely HOT.

See that Promethean Productions watermark? - Henry & Charlie's new company representing ;)

According to GFM Films, Stratton is set to begin principal photography June 2nd in Italy.

Here are the latest details:

A new script is now available and we believe this significant polish has added even more action & explosive excitement to the storyline and further improved each character’s story arc. With Principal Photography in Rome, Southern Italy & London imminent, Henry Cavill is immersing himself in his intensive training schedule, both with his personal trainer and Special Forces personnel.

We are not posting specific script information because we feel it gives away the plot, and we respect Henry's work too much for that. But today we did get a glimpse of Henry training for his role (don't miss) as John Stratton. You know he'll be bringing you his best Special Forces Operative when cameras roll.

We're behind you all the way!

More Exclusive Photos From Gibraltar, Update From Henry

Hard to believe it's been almost three weeks, since Henry ran up the Rock of Gibraltar with his brother and trainer to raise funds for The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. Today we have some more exclusive pics to share with you, after covering the event and interviewing Henry. Thanks to your donations he's about to reach his fundraising target, and there's a treat in there for you if you can help him out! (you know you want that RMCTF bracelet like the one he wears).

Henry also updated his message on his fundraising page:

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and the RMCTF during the Gibraltar Rock Run, it was a great honour and pleasure to take part in this special occasion.

I will be keeping this page open for a while to aim to reach my goal.  

Like we said on the day we announced the news of Henry's participation on the run more than three months ago, we are determined to get him to his goal. Because what could be more important as fans, than to be there for Henry when it matters the most. So let's get to it! - Here is how to get your RMCTF bracelet when you donate & the direct link to Henry's page. Check out our latest pics from the run (and yes, we have more to share with you!) -- Have a great weekend everyone.

Casually trained alongside Superman today!

If this doesn't convince you that Henry is working out around the clock.. Go Supes! (and thanks Mark Twight for making it happen). Henry only has a few more months to go, before filming begins on the Man of Steel sequel in Detroit. As you can see he's well on his way to becoming Superman. Can't wait to see him in his suit again.

Henry Makes The Cover Of His Home Island Newspaper: So Proud!

Image JEP via Matthew Hotton

From all the Man of Steel premieres that Henry will be attending, we're guessing the one that will mean the most is the premiere scheduled for June 14 in Jersey. Today his home island newspaper proudly put him on the cover for all to see. Read what they had to say about their Superman, as they prepare to welcome him home.

Ready to fly!

Superstardom beckons for Jersey's Henry Cavill.

Island rolls out the red carpet for its home-grown cinema hero.

The excitement is mounting ahead of the big new film expected to turn Jersey's Henry Cavill into an A-list superstar.

After making a name for himself in minor film and TV roles, the 30-year-old former St. Michael's pupil, is being launched into the stratosphere as the star of Man of Steel, the new Superman movie curretnly receiving huge promotional attention leading up to its release next month. 

Henry - who features on the cover of this month's GQ magazine, trailing an interview in which he recalls being called 'Fatty' at school, where he received encouragement from Russell Crowe - will be back in Jersey for the local premiere of Man of Steel at Cineworld on June 14.

The premiere will be screened at two screens at Cineworld at 7 pm on June 14, but tickets will be by invitation only. However, tickets are on sale for other showings that night. General manager Elaine Rabet said: "Islanders can already pre-book for four performances on 14 June, although there aren't many seats left at the 8 pm performance. We're looking at putting on additional performances, but I can't confirm anything yet."

One fan who has already secured a ticket for the big night is shop assistant Daniel Dos Santos. "When I first read in the JEP that an Islander was playing Superman it really surprised me," he said. I've read interviews with Henry and he seems a down-to-earth guy who's really grateful for what he's achieved. I've started to use him as an example for my kids to work hard for their dreams, just like he did to get auditions while working in Jersey and the UK. "Hopefully his success will help young people here stay out of trouble, and concentrate on becoming better people."

Superman’s latest incarnation cost £175m to make and is likely to be one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters. In the run-up to the film's release, Cavill is becoming more and more prominent in the media, more recently in the June edition of GQ magazine. In it, he recalls working at Liquid nightclub on the Waterfront when he was auditioning to play Superman in the 2006 remake. "When they opened the dance floor section, the DJ always played the Superman music," he tells GQ, before admitting that the John Williams-composed tune ceased when Brandon Routh was chosen over him.

The rest of the article which you can purchase here, just quotes some more of what Henry told GQ magazine. And don't miss the cute pic of him as a boy and his teacher's comments, included in Jersey's coverage of  their Man of Steel premiere. We can't tell you how happy we are for Henry, and will continue supporting him on his rise to fame. 

Henry Returns From Boston, TMZ Catches Up With Him At LAX

UPDATE 5/18: E! has shared more details about Henry's shoot in Boston:

With less than a month before the release of Man of Steel, we're going to be seeing a lot of hunky star Henry Cavill.

If only we were there the other day at the Revere Hotel in Boston when he and costar Amy Adams were being shot for Interview magazine. The two stayed warm in Frette robes in between setups because they were shooting at the outdoor pool during some rather balmy weather. 

In case you're wondering (like us) --> Frette robe ;)

He later told us:
