Henry Cavill Rumoured To Be In Talks For Role In Star Wars TV Series

Calm down everyone, places please - I know this is very exciting for all of us but we must remain calm. It sounds like Henry Cavill is in place to perhaps take on a role in a future Disney Plus Star Wars series. A leaker has reported that Cavill is at least in talks with writer and director Jon Favreau to perhaps take on a recurring role in the Star Wars world.

Initially spotted by The Express, a leaker by the name of Mike Zeroh has come forward with a fresh rumour about Henry Cavill and the Star Wars franchise. According to the leaker, Cavill and Favreau are talking about the actor's involvement in Disney's space franchise after the director found inspiration in Cavill's performance as The Witcher.

Who hasn't imagined themselves as part of the Star Wars universe? Maybe you want to wield a lightsaber or use the force. Or perhaps you're just interested in flying an X-Wing? If your dream is the latter, boy, have I got a mod for you...

According to Zeroh, Cavill is in line to take a role in the Star Wars universe, but it's not clear if this would be voice acting or something live-action at this time. With Favreau's The Mandalorian success, however, and The Witcher inspiration, I'd personally think live-action is the more likely project. It's rumoured that there will be a final meeting in early June to line up the role and Cavill personally has a great interest in joining the Star Wars universe.

It should certainly be noted before we get carried away here that this is just the word of a YouTuber who has got details about these projects wrong in the past. This isn't solid confirmation that we're going to be seeing Cavill in the Star Wars world anytime soon, if ever. However, it's a lot of fun to think of the actor's possibilities within the franchise, especially as he's known for his prominence in nerd culture today and what he would look like as either a Sith or a Jedi.

Between his role as Superman and his role as The Witcher (and who can forget his PC building video), Cavill has become an icon within nerd culture. We can always be hopeful that his voice or his acting could appear in a project later down the line but right now it's just a fantasy.
