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.

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)?
