With Disney’s Star Wars in dire need of adding testosterone, a new rumor claims that Henry Cavill might be joining a galaxy far, far away.
We’ve also been told Henry Cavill has been in talks with Marvel about playing Wolverine. Recently has also seen the former Superman actor sign on for the new live-action Voltron movie. Following that, Cavill will pick up the sword for the Highlander reboot with John Wick director Chad Stahelski.
What is the Henry Cavill Star Wars rumor?
The rumor comes from X user MyTimeToShineHello, so take it with a grain of salt, but the user claims that Henry Cavill has had discussions with Lucasfilm about the recently announced Simon Kinberg Star Wars trilogy.
No other details about Cavill in Star Wars are known, and little is known about the new Kinberg Star Wars trilogy.
Reports offer the Kinberg Star Wars trilogy will continue the Skywalker Saga with Episodes X, XI, and XII, yet at the same time, reports offer it will not be a continuation and will be new.
I just offered that I think the Simon Kinberg Star Wars trilogy will not center on Daisy Ridley as Rey but will feature a male protagonist. Could it be Henry Cavill?
It’s known Henry is a big Star Wars fan, and interestingly enough, back when Zack Snyder filmed Batman vs. Superman, it was filming at the same time J.J. Abrams was filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Snyder is also a big Star Wars fan (he once pitched Rebel Moon as a Star Wars project), and at the time of filming Snyder and Abrams had fun on social media by releasing Batman, Superman and Star Wars crossovers and mashes (per the above Henry Cavill Jedi image).
