May 30 Henry Cavill In Talks For ‘Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Lead

Deadline reports a new possible movie for Henry. Awesome news!

Sources confirm that talks are in a very early stage with Henry Cavill to replace Tom Cruise as the lead in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Deadline’s Mike Fleming reported last week that Cruise was scheduled to star in the Warner Bros’ film with Armie Hammer, but he has exited to focus on producing and starring in Mission: Impossible 5. Guy Ritchie is directing the film that was inspired by the original TV series that ran from 1964-68, with Robert Vaughan and David McCallum playing Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. Cavill stars in the Superman reboot Man Of Steel that’s slated to bow June 14 via Warner Bros. He is repped by CAA and United Agents.

June 05 Henry Cavill Confirms Role In THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

Woot! Another project for Henry!

Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Man Of Steel) confirmed today with USA Today that he will indeed star opposite Armie Hammer in the upcoming film reboot of the popular television show The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Now for many fans this is interesting news, as Hammer was once attached to play Batman in the now canned Justice League: Mortal. With the general audience seeing Cavill and Hammer on the big screen together, could this be a strategy to see how the general audience would react (women wouldn’t have a hard time)?

Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology.

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E” also stars Alicia Vikander (“Anna Karenina”), Elizabeth Debicki (“The Great Gatsby”), with Jared Harris (“Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows”), and Hugh Grant as Waverly.

The screenplay was written by Guy Ritchie & Lionel Wigram, who previously collaborated on re-imagining the classic detective Sherlock Holmes in two hit films.

San Diego Comic-Con attendees can enjoy a double-dose of Henry Cavill during the Warner Bros. Pictures panel on the Saturday of the annual pop culture extravaganza, as he promotes this summer’s The Man from UNCLE and next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Cavill will be joined on stage by Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki and director Guy Ritchie to promote the retro spy feature during the WB panel on July 11, which runs from 10:30am through 12pm in the massive Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center.

For Batman v Superman, he’ll be accompanied by director Zack Snyder, new Batman Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and cinema’s first Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot. The panel will feature an exclusive look at footage from the March, 2016 release.

There will also be a Cavill-less movie showcased during the panel, with Hugh Jackman, Garret Hedlund and Levi Miller taking the stage with director Joe Wright to promote Pan, the reimagining of the Peter Pan mythos.

In a statement, WB president, worldwide marketing and international distribution Sue Kroll said that Comic-Con “provides us a fantastic opportunity to interact with the fans and this year, as with every year, our aim is to surpass their expectations.” (Warners also promises “unexpected offerings that are sure to delight the crowd,” interestingly enough.) She added that Warners is also “thrilled” to offer filmmakers “a chance to experience the unique energy and enthusiasm” of the show.

August 03 Henry Cavill on Bond & The Man From Uncle 2 (Video)

Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer have been talking about their new movie, the Guy Ritchie-directed spy thriller, The Man From UNCLE.

Henry, who plays America CIA agent Napoleon Solo, talked about how he struggled at first with an American accent.

“I definitely struggled at the beginning because we hadn’t found the accent by the time we started shooting. When we were shooting Guy would come in and say ‘No, that sounds wrong,’ or ‘this sounds wrong’ or ‘try and say the word this way’ and because there’s no uniform structure to it, it became very difficult to perform and you become very conscious of speaking as opposed to acting and feeling. Eventually we found it about a quarter of the way through the movie because we found a way of speaking that was consistent.

The actor also joked about being approached the play Bond following Daniel Craig’s predicted exit: “It’s top secret so I can’t say anything.”

Armie also seemed keen: “Totally, I’m in. I’m not supposed to talk about it yet but I’ve had a conversation with someone.”

The movie, which GLAMOUR very much enjoyed, sets up for a sequel at the finale so we asked the boys if this was happening.

“We haven’t heard anything. We’d love to do it,” said Henry.
