‘Man of Steel’ and ‘The Witcher’ Star Henry Cavill Is Reportedly in Talks to Join the Star Wars

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who can still remember the thrill of watching “A New Hope” for the first time, the idea of Henry Cavill joining the galaxy far, far away is nothing short of electrifying! With his impressive acting chops and undeniable charm, he would undoubtedly bring a new dimension to any character he’d portray.


About two weeks back, news emerged that Lucasfilm had agreed on a deal with Simon Kinberg, planning for a brand-new Star Wars trilogy. Kinberg is set to script and oversee production of these movies in collaboration with Kathleen Kennedy, who heads Lucasfilm.

As per Deadline’s report, these upcoming episodes could be the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth installments of the Skywalker Saga. This epic story started way back in 1977 with George Lucas’s initial Star Wars film, a movie that, together with Steven Spielberg’s ‘Jaws’, left an indelible mark on the blockbuster movie genre.

According to Jeff Sneider, he agrees with Deadline’s report, stating, “I believe Deadline is correct in this case, as I’d wager that the next three movies will be labeled as Episodes X, XI, and XII.

It’s likely that Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey in a significant capacity: “I’m led to believe that since I keep hearing she’ll return for these upcoming Star Wars films, and it seems like her character Rey might be taking on the role of Obi-Wan in the new trilogy.

Currently, there’s buzz about Star Wars as a source suggests, MyTimeToShineHello, that discussions are underway between Henry Cavill, Disney, and Lucasfilm for his potential involvement in the series.

It’s worth noting that back then and even now, Henry Cavill has expressed an eagerness to be part of the Star Wars universe. He once shared what conditions would need to be met for him to accept a role in it. Moreover, an old Instagram post from eight years ago suggests he’s long had a keen interest in playing a character within this popular franchise.

I enjoy their work, but whether I’d be willing to star in a movie depends on the script and discussions with the director. It’s not always as straightforward as it might seem; even if the idea sounds appealing, I’d worry about the quality of the script. So, I guess you could say I’m hopeful, but also cautious.
