  I absolutely love Cavill. He’s been in plenty of sub-par projects, but he himself never fails to commit to each role and he always kills it.

    Yeeep. The way they ruined both the witcher and superman while this man does everything right is astounding.

      Unfortunately he is just way too devoted to the source material, which they couldn’t really use for their show. So Cavill really has been shooting his own foot. He wasn’t willing to compromise, even though he knew the show wasn’t supposed to be 1 to 1 telling.

      So how do you deal with someone who signed on for X and than tried turning into their own thing?

        Other way around.
        He signed on to make the Witcher series, true to the books.

        They moved it away from that, and audiences turned away from it.

        Cavill was right.

        He signed on for a Witcher adaptation. The TV show is original series inspired by the Witcher, not an adaptation.

        Anybody sane didn’t expect a 1 to 1 retelling - that would frankly be a bad adaptation. And I did like some of the new stuff. But they took the spirit of the books and completely threw it out of the window.

        Hard disagree. In my opinion as a fan of the games and books, the changes from the source material all negatively impacted the show, to the point that the star was no longer interested in participating.

    Man from U.N.K.L.E. is IMHO a very good movie. It also showcases how Henry could have been a humorous 007 akin to Roger Moore’s rendition.

    He’s one of those actors that could take a low tier super hero and turn it into a household name, if he’s put into the wider MCU I hope it’s playing a lesser known hero that deserves the recognition

      100% agree, what he did with this one DC hero named Superman was pretty fantastic!

        Tbf superman had become low tier after Brandon Routh and how bad dc was dropping the ball on the Superman comics at the time
