Henry Cavill loved ‘Aquaman’ so much he went for a swim with a fork

TwitterFacebook

While Henry Cavill’s first look as Geralt in the TV adaptation of The Witcher video game did not go down well, his Aquaman impression can stay.

The Justice League star posted a congratulatory Instagram to his superhero co-star Jason Momoa by channeling his box-office smash Aquaman

Cavill, who’s usually seen donning a cape as Superman in the DC Extended Universe films, instead took to a body of water — in what weirdly looks like the dead of night — capeless, Lycra-less, and wielding a fork as a trident. 

“Channeling the man of the hour, the man of big hugs, big laughs and big pints of Guinness, my man Jason Momoa. How’d I do?” he captioned the post. Read more…

Henry Cavill posts wildly cryptic Instagram response to ‘Superman’ rumours

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet lately, you’ve probably heard the rumours that Henry Cavill’s days as Superman are over.

The question is, are they actually?

The answer to that one is tricky to pin down — and it’s been made even more confusing by Henry Cavill’s latest Instagram post, which the actor shared late Wednesday night.

Democrats, it’s time to fight like Superman for truth, justice, and the American way

TwitterFacebook

Growing up as a comics fan in the UK, I loved Superman more than any other superhero. But even as an impressionable kid I’d wince at his corny catchphrase — that he was fighting for “truth, justice and the American way.” The first two seemed too blindingly obvious, the third a strangely parochial choice of goal for Earth’s most famous immigrant. 

Fast forward to 2018, and here I am, a U.S. resident, literally screaming at the Democratic Party that it needs to overcome its muddled messaging — by appropriating the words of a journalist and immigrant whose entire existence speaks to everything Trump isn’t.  Read more…
