“Strength Redefined is about all of us. It’s about the individual. It’s the thing we all have, that inner strength - the ingredient that lives within all of us. It’s the message that strength takes more than just muscle” — Henry Cavillhttps://t.co/OGN0lrzSOhpic.twitter.com/fF5QWhpK8n

GQ has shared its new interview with Henry as he continues his MuscleTech promo. He talks about his fitness routine and once again teases he's been training for an upcoming film (Argylle is our guess):
We’re kind of doing more maintenance right now. At the moment I'm in pre-production for a film. There is going to be action in it and so during the day I'm doing lots of fight scenes, learning choreography, and that is obviously physical. So I kind of have to balanceout my cardio and gym work depending on what we're doing each day.
Henry also talks about his physical therapy after he was injured on The Witcher set, something Lauren S. Hissrich mentioned during a TCA panel today.
"Henry is holding up great" - re: his injury. In fact that's why Henry Cavill isn't on #TheWitcher panel right now. He's shooting something else #TCA21pic.twitter.com/JrcVyveXjf

Insider got a chance to talk to Henry about his healthy meals and exercise routine as he prepares for his next role (we're thinking Argylle!):
"Cavill is currently preparing for a role that requires a lot of stunt work and fighting, so his training is centered on interval sprints, bodybuilding, and fighting."
UPDATE #2: Read Henry's interview with Adweek below.
To be Superman, you have to take fitness seriously.
But Henry Cavill tells Adweek's @ShannonL_Miller that he doesn't want to turn others into Men of Steel with @MuscleTech's “Strength Redefined." Instead, the goal is to reach people of all body types.https://t.co/1kdHXN7BtF
Henry talks about staying fit and also taking care of his mental health:
"I've been dabbling in stoicism. I like some of the core tenets: Don't let that what you can't control affect you, don't let it affect your mental state. Only worry about the things that you can control."
It looks like Kal has a new cute friend named Meat!
Henry's girlfriend Natalie, shared the cute pic of her fur baby with Kal... ready to cheer for the British and Irish Lions today. When the game ended with a loss, Henry posted another really sweet follow-up pic.
According to Deadline, Apple has agreed to pay around $200 million dollars for the worldwide rights to the film that's set to begin filming soon. Director Matthew Vaughn excited about the deal:
“I’m thrilled to team with Apple and bring the most compelling spy thriller I’ve ever read to the only streaming service that can create a franchise of this scale and quality for global audiences to experience,” Vaughn said.
Steve Falk will write and direct the film, which follows an unlucky-in-love university professor who creates an elaborate questionnaire in an effort to find a wife and meets an unconventional woman who doesn’t match any of his “requirements,” but might be the perfect woman for him.
Read the rest at Deadline. The film is reportedly expected to film early next year, so look for the latest details as we get them.
If you missed today's WitcherCon, we have all the highlights including the first trailer for Season 2 of The Witcher. The new season arrives on December 17th. The date was revealed along with an epic poster of Geralt and Ciri.
We also heard from the cast and Henry was interviewed separately by MTV's Joshua Horowitz. Henry shared some really great details from the set of The Witcher and teased ahead to Season 2. Watch his full interview along with the rest of the excellent content from WitcherCon.
Even Roach got his moment in the spotlight, as several new stills from S2 were revealed.
Catch up on everything else from the con (and there's definitely a lot more) in our wrap.
Finally, here's a little of what TheWitcher stars and showrunner had to tease about Season 2. Much more to come!
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich on the relationship between Geralt and Ciri:
“At the end of Season 1, we have what I think is one of the sort of most emotional scenes that we've done, which is Geralt and Ciri finding each other after they've both been searching all season… And it seems like we've got a father figure and daughter figure, and everything's going to be perfect at that point, except for they've never met. And so it was really fun to start Season 2 thinking about, well, they're not a family yet. How do they grow to be one? What do you do if you are a person like Geralt, who has sworn he doesn't need anyone in the world whatsoever? And then he's presented with a girl who is now solely in his care. And we have Ciri, who's used to being under the care of people but has basically been running from everyone for an entire season and now being told that this person is going to take care of you. And so it was really fun to start Season 2 kind of them a little uncertain about how to be with each other, and they have to really grow into that. We wanted to make sure that felt like an authentic relationship, that they weren't just bonded at the very beginning.”
Freya Allan on whether we are going to see Ciri in training sequences this season:
“[Training] was one of the things I was most excited about for Season 2, because I love doing all that. I love the stunt department. We have the best people involved, and they're so much fun and get the best out of you. But yes, Ciri begins training and it actually becomes one of her main kind of drives. She's very determined, and she really wants to become a great fighter and become a Witcher.”
Anya Chalotra on her favourite things about her character Yennefer:
“I'd have to say, where there's a will, there's a way with her. She is a survivor, and I love that about her. That would be my favourite. But there's lots, there's many traits I love. We've become quite similar. We form each other, I think.”
Henry Cavill on the journey of his character Geralt of Rivia:
“I played the Season One way deliberately, which was him out in the wilds and without the opportunity for vast swathes of dialogue. I thought it best to be the man who says less because that seems like he's thinking more. And that was the intention with that. But once you get into a scenario with Cirilla, and the Witchers and his home space and with those people who he already knows, I was of the opinion that you had to let him be verbose and be philosophical and speak more and be intellectual, because that's what he is. He's not just a big old white-haired brute.”
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich on new characters to Season 2:
“There are so many characters that we're introducing in Season 2. We are getting to see Dijkstra for the first time and sort of the Redanian Kingdoms. I know a lot of fans are excited to meet Philippa for the first time, Codringher and Fenn, Rience, Nenneke. There's so many, but I would have to say Vesemir is the one I'm looking most forward to our audience meeting. Vesemir is so integral to the story that we're telling this season. Obviously, we're returning to Kaer Morhen for the first time, and in a season that is about Geralt becoming a father to Ciri, it felt so important to meet who his father figure was. And you end up with this multigenerational story because Vesemir and Ciri have a story as well, and it does start to feel like, "Oh, all of these people are meant to be interacting and learning from each other and fighting with each other."
