The fact that the new old Superman actor Henry Cavill (39) is a true nerd is something most people are likely aware of by now. Recently, the former Witcher was asked about his gaming passion in a podcast. This passion is apparently not shared by all his visitors.
Who was that again? Henry Cavill is a British actor. His most famous roles include Superman and Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix series “The Witcher”. During his filming breaks, the 39-year-old enjoys playing Warhammer or building his PC.
In a podcast from October 27, Henry Cavill discussed his gaming passion, talked about the reactions of those around him to his hobby, and hinted at future projects.
Total War: Warhammer has particularly captivated Cavill:
What was that podcast? In his podcast HAPPY SAD CONFUSED, host Josh Horowitz interviews stars from film and television on various topics. Henry Cavill was back on October 27 for the second time to discuss, among other things, his return as Superman.
After discussing Cavill’s current film and series projects, Horowitz turned the conversation to the actor’s gaming passion. He wanted to know how much time Cavill dedicates to gaming.
A fair amount. And when I say fair, it probably means quite a lot for those who aren’t in the know.

4 hours or more a day is not exactly uncommon. Cavill especially raves about the “Total War: Warhammer” series. However, his biggest treasure at the moment is a statue that Blizzard sent him upon the release of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King.
As a fan of the series, Cavill also has a collection of models for Warhammer 40k, which he proudly shares on his Instagram account.
When asked how his friends and family feel about this passion, Cavill explained that most of his friends and family are aware of it, and it’s no surprise for them to find him painting his models. Many of his family members even share this passion.
However, not all visitors can muster the same enthusiasm for gaming, as Cavill has experienced.
It has happened that I had people over and proudly showed them my miniatures, and they just said “Okay.” You can hear them say “Oh yeah, that’s really great,” and you see them thinking “Get me out of here.”

Developing a video game, however, is not currently on the actor’s agenda. Cavill stated that he prefers to leave the ones and zeros to the experts. Nevertheless, he can certainly imagine stepping in as a producer in the future:
That’s coming. That will come. It’s something I would really like to do and something that is very important to me. I want to be involved from the beginning to the marketing, and that will come, that’s a fact.

So it seems we can look forward to a special project from Henry Cavill. In the meantime, he will first be seen in season 3 of The Witcher, which is set to be released next summer. From season 4, Thor’s little brother, Liam Hemsworth, will take over the role.
You can watch the entire podcast on the YouTube channel of Josh Horowitz.
