About this listen
Henry Cavill is in the spotlight once again, with energetic anticipation around his upcoming projects making waves across Hollywood and social media. According to Netflix Junkie, Cavill is assembling a serious comeback after nearly a year away from new releases. He has major roles lined up, first with Guy Ritchie’s action thriller In the Grey, where he stars opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González. The film wrapped production but missed its original January 2025 release window as Lionsgate works on finishing touches, so fans are eagerly awaiting a new date. Another highly anticipated project is the Highlander reboot, with Cavill taking on the legendary role of Connor MacLeod under director Chad Stahelski, known for the John Wick franchise. Amazon MGM Studios recently announced that filming has started, and although a release is projected for 2027 or 2028, the origin story approach and a star-studded cast give it the tone of a long-term franchise tentpole.
In family-friendly territory, Cavill returns as Sherlock Holmes for Enola Holmes 3, teaming up again with Millie Bobby Brown for a darker and more mature adventure. Production wrapped this year in the UK and Malta, and post-production is underway, eyeing a 2026 release on Netflix. Meanwhile, his first major foray into live-action animation territory comes with Voltron, which recently finished filming in Australia and is headed to Amazon Prime Video, promising a blend of nostalgia and innovation.
Perhaps most personal for Cavill is his executive producer and star role in the Warhammer 40,000 TV adaptation for Amazon MGM Studios. With a significant licensing agreement reached last year, the project is actively developing a rich visual universe, offering Cavill a creative space deeply connected to his well-known passion for gaming.
In the rumor mill, Marvel fans are buzzing—sources like Netflix Junkie note that Cavill remains a speculative favorite for roles like Nova and Wolverine, though nothing is confirmed and Marvel Studios keeps official announcements tightly under wraps. Among his slower-moving ventures, The Rosie Project and the action film Broadsword remain in development limbo, with no recent updates.
On the DC front, Inside the Magic notes that social media erupted when Zack Snyder posted a tribute image asserting “Henry Cavill is Superman,” catalyzing fan hope for a comeback. However, industry insiders clarify that Snyder’s posts span past DCEU stars, and there is no confirmed new Superman project for Cavill amid Warner Bros. and James Gunn’s shakeups. The new DC Universe continues with David Corenswet donning the cape, though doubts persist about creative stability.
Streaming buzz has also reignited around Cavill’s earlier work, with Collider highlighting the return of his 2011 sword-and-sandal epic Immortals to the Starz platform.
Across social channels, fan-driven excitement and nostalgia are amplifying every potential move, especially around the Superman rumors and Warhammer news. While eager speculation continues, Cavill’s confirmed projects represent a meticulously curated expansion of his brand—balancing fantasy, action, and enduring charm.
