Fifty Shades of Grey: 5 Reasons Henry Cavill should play Christian Grey (INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES)

Cavill, who has been named as the "biggest male breakout movie star" by Fandango, is expected to be busy with his "Man of Steel" responsibilities in 2013. (The next high-budget Superman film will come out in June this year.) Still, many fans remain hopeful for things to fall in place so Cavill could be both Clark Kent and Christian Grey.

Here are five of the reasons why Cavill is favoured by fans for the controversial Grey role:

5. Theseus. In the film Immortals (2011), Cavill plays the titular hero Theseus, the Greek mythological founder-king of Athens. This character exposed (pun not really intended) Cavill's visual appeal and showcased his acting skills at the same time. Fifty Shades will certainly be easy on the eyes with Cavill in it.

4. The Quiet Gentleman Vibe. Still waters run deep, they say. The first time Anastasia Steele met Grey, he was a man of few words. But he commanded respect despite his obvious youth. Cavill exudes this Grey vibe, particularly in this MSN photo taken at the Critic's Choice Awards in L.A. last week.

3. The Knee-Melting Stare. Christian Grey should be able to draw a woman with a mere glance. Cavill competes with Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder (both with piercing enigmatic eyes) in this criterion, but he holds his own.

2. Availability. The schedule would be difficult, but no doubt the managers and producers could work this out. Unlike some actors, Cavill has not shut his doors to playing this very daring role.


AND FOR THE NUMBER 1 REASON....http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/424144/20130115/fifty-shades-grey-movie-henry-cavill-reasons.htm#.URGYOoc1k8c

'50 Shades of Grey' Front-Runners Emerge to Play Christian & We Can’t Stop Drooling Posted by Mary Fischer on January 31, 2013 at 11:27 AM (THE STIR)

OMG. How much longer are we going to have to wait before a casting announcement is made for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? Speculation about who will land the roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey have been going on, well -- pretty much since the news broke that the book was going to be made into a film.

And enough is enough already. We're sick and tired of the name dropping. We're over the "will he or won't he" stuff. We want names, damnit. And we want 'em soon.

Fortunately, we may be one step closer to hearing some news, because two front-runners for Christian's role seem to have emerged.

Drum roll, please.

As of now, reports indicate that it's highly likely that either Ian Somerhalder or Henry Cavill will wind up playing Christian Grey.

Yeah, yeah, I know that neither one of them really comes as a huge surprise, because they've both been mentioned as possible Christians quite a few times in the past. But still -- it's kind of exciting to think that the field is narrowing a bit, right?

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Are Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill in the Lead to Play Christian? 1 about 19 hours ago by Ryan Gajewski

(Not even close - if you ask me!)

There are reportedly two lead candidates for the part of Christian Grey, and their names will make fans of The Vampire Diaries and Superman very happy.

Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill are currently being cited as the two most popular choices to play the male lead in the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey, according to IB Times.

Likewise, Celebrity Dirty Laundry refers to them as the "top contenders for the role." However, it is uncertain if this is indeed how producers are leaning.

Henry Cavill Says ‘Man of Steel’ Is Not A ‘Dark’ Movie; Mark Millar Approves 4 hours ago by Andrew Dyce (SCREEN RANT)

Ever since Man of Steel was announced, following the success of Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ Dark Knight trilogy, the comparisons have been drawn, and expectations established. But not without cause. Director Zack Snyder has called the film “edgy,” and the words ‘realistic’ and ‘grounded’ have been thrown around like so many speeding bullets. But now, Superman (Henry Cavill) himself is putting fears to rest.

Even though Man of Steel will no doubt be serious (or as serious as any modern superhero film), Cavill is explaining that as realistic as the movie may try to be, it’s a far cry from ‘dark.’


Christopher Nolan has maintained that he may be executive producing Man of Steel, but that the film is Zack Snyder’s above anyone else’s. Even David S. Goyer has explained that making Superman as dark a figure as Batman would have been much easier than trying to ground his character in something audiences could relate to.

Who better to ask about the mood, or so-called “serious” approach being taken by Snyder in this version of the ‘Man of Steel’s origin story than the man in the tights – er, Kryptonian armor – himself? Speaking with Empire Magazine (courtesy of CBM) Henry Cavill addressed the rumors that Man of Steel would be anywhere near as ‘dark’ as Nolan’s Batman films, in about as direct a manner as one could imagine:

“It’s not a dark movie by any means. Past representations of the character have been quite light… This is a more realistic view of the character, while still maintaining the very unrealistic, or potentially unrealistic features of an alien with superpowers.”

“There is more action in Man of Steel than any of the Dark Knight Films”

Henry Cavill 'aims high' for roles, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' could be next (Photos) FIFTY SHADES OF GREYJANUARY 22, 2013BY: BARBIE KAVETSKY

Henry Cavill does not believe in taking things slow when it comes to pursuing his career in acting. The 'Man of Steel' star has a go big or go home attitude which helped him shoot for some high profile roles in Hollywood. Revealing in an interview posted by Voices From Krypton on Jan 21 that he prefers to "aim high." This mentality may be the reason he went from being dubbed "The Unluckiest Man in Hollywood" to "Breakout Star of 2013" and even more reason why he would be up for taking on the role of Christian Grey in the "Fifty Shades" movies.

The interview with Cavill focused on his desire to land the "larger than life roles." Ed Gross, the lucky journalist who spoke with the future Superman, addressed his past failures including his notorious loss of James Bond to actor Daniel Craig. Cavill was able to take away positive insights from the experience saying, "it makes you want to work that much harder."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also reportedly in the running to star in Godzilla, but turned down an approach late last year.

According to Variety journalist Justin Kroll, Gordon-Levitt and Cavill are studio choices, while McNairy and Landry Jones are favored by the production's creative team.

Henry Cavill winning hearts and support for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' role (Photos) HENRY CAVILL FANPAGE!!! FIFTY SHADES OF GREY (EXAMINER)

The Henry Cavill Facebook Fanpage has over 23K followers and is growing daily. Although the site is not dedicated to the actor being cast as Christian Grey, the founders believe he would be a good choice. When asked about Henry being considered for the role they gave the following statement.

"Henry Cavill, above all other fan casted actors for this role, has the classic, timeless handsomeness to truly embody and manifest the enormity of impact that happens for women when in Christian's presence in E.L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey". As Charles Brandon in Showtime's "The Tudors", Henry stole the screen as the Casanova Playboy. As Theseus in "Immortals (2011)" and as Will Shaw in "The Cold Light of Day (2012)" Henry proved he can play the tortured soul. Having seen Henry in person on three occasions, I can attest that the charisma Henry emanates is truly palpable. Everyone here at HCF believes that Henry would nail this role hands down if he is offered the opportunity and accepts it. Our fingers are crossed!"

Fans of the "Fifty Shades" trilogy are now picturing Cavill in the infamous playroom jeans, his popularity even surpassing Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer. Those who have long supported the above mentioned actors can see the appeal of Henry Cavill, especially after viewing online videos, his Dunhill Fragrance ad being the most popular. One "on the fence" fan tweeted about the ad, "trying to stay neutral who should play #Christian, many A+ actors, however this video screams Christian!"

Casting the "Fifty Shades" film is going to take time and as of yet there is not even a completed script or Director attached to the project. Fans are keeping up hope that Henry Cavill is being considered, especially amidst rumors of author E L James using him as inspiration for the character. There has also been some speculation that Producer Dana Brunetti's meeting with CAA last week was regarding Henry Cavill. The actor himself has spoke about the role saying, "whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made, it would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel." He also sparked casting rumors when he showed up to the Critic's Choice Awards with newly highlighted copper locks, reminiscent of Christian Grey's description in the novel.

Henry Cavill Talks ‘Man Of Steel,’ Being Under The Microscope And What He Focuses On (THE GLOBAL DISPATCH)

Henry Cavill, the star of Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot Man of Steel, had never really done anything on that level of magnitude before and has spent the last several months of his life under the microscope and spoke about the experience.

In a brief, audio interview Cavill talked about the challenge of not reacting to all of the public comments and “being under the microscope.

“If I were to take everyone’s comments to heart then of course, I think it would be [difficult],” Cavill said.

“There’s very hurtful stuff out there and wonderful stuff to, so I’d be thrown between having an enormous ego and a very small, crushed one. So it’s one of those things where it’s all part of the entertainment. It’s going to happen, people are going to talk and that’s great. If people are talking, they’re being entertained in one way or another, so carry on.”

Henry Cavill is surrounded by guards in the new photo from Man of Steel January 12, 2013 | Written By: Kristy Sturdivant (FLIX 66)

Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman film called MAN OF STEEL seems to be picking up steam as it’s hitting a lot of people’s most anticipated films in 2013 list (read our top ten movies to forward to in 2013 list). Entertainment Weekly has snagged another newish photo from the film which shows Superman (played by Henry Cavill) being led away in handcuffs surrounded by a bunch of guards. I’m anxious to see how my favorite small town farm boy got into this predicament, but Clark Kent/Superman is so just in his ways that I’m sure he probably gave himself over willingly and then will have to be released by his captors in order to save the day. Hopefully Zack Snyder won’t mess it up too much.

Is This The Confirmation That Henry Cavill Is In For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Talks?Producer lets slip photo of meeting with agents (E.)

BY MARK WORGAN ON JANUARY 11, 2013

'Fifty Shades of Grey' producer Dana Brunetti has sparked speculation that Superman star Henry Cavill is set to be cast as Christian in the movie version of E.L. James' "mummy porn" novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' with a rather indiscreet tweet that could indicate that talks are beginning.

Brunetti wrote on the social networking website, "meeting with 'agents' at CAA", a tweet accompanied by a picture of men in suits striking a thoughtful pose. Not much to go on, but a little detective work leads you to realise that Creative Artists Agency's hottest client at the moment is none other than Cavill, named as Breakout Star of 2013 by Fandango.com.

A little extra snooping tells us that the agent who officially reps Cavill isn't pictured in the photo, but with two individuals partially out of shot, he could be skulking just out of frame.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Movie: Henry Cavill has the 'sexiest Christian Grey body' – POLL [PHOTOS]

"Fifty Shades of Grey" movie might have a "Superman" Christian Grey, as fan favorite Henry Cavill has recently been given the title "Breakout Actor of 2013." Twitter users also named Cavill as the actor with the "sexiest Christian Grey body."


In a Fandango report, Cavill is named as the "biggest male breakout movie star," and that is with regards only to the Superman film. If the British actor would also play the dashing Christian Grey, he would be an even bigger star among Hollywood's A-listers.


Following Cavill in Fandango's 'Breakout' ranking, from second to the fifth places are: Sam Claflin ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"), Armie Hammer ("The Lone Ranger"), Jai Courtney ("A Good Day to Die Hard"), and Nicholas Hoult ("Jack the Giant Slayer" and "Warm Bodies").


In a Twitter poll, Cavill also won out in a poll for "the best and sexiest Christian Grey body."  User @50ShadesCasting shouts out, "The best thing? He's also a GREAT actor!"

'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Fans Call For Breakout Star Henry Cavill To Be Given RoleStar is closing in in the betting, and it seems in fans' hearts (E!)

BY MARK WORGAN ON JANUARY 8, 2013

Momentum is building behind the casting of Henry Cavill as Christian in 'Fifty Shades of Grey', with fans of the movie using his topping of a star of 2013 poll to try to campaign for his casting as the sexually dominant billionaire.

The British star is already set to don spandex this year on screen as Superman in 'Man of Steel', and the actor has now been named by Fandango.com in a fan poll as their 'Breakout Star of 2013'.

Speculation has also been sparked by a Dunhill perfume ad in which Cavill certainly looks the part as a Christian like character, and by the man himself who when asked about playing the S&M plutocrat told Details magazine: "Whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made. It would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel."

Fans are now promoting him as the guy to play Christian, and his odds are shortening having closed to 5/1 ahead of long term favourite Ian Somerhalder but behing Alex Pettyfer at 2/1 and Ryan Gosling at 4/1. Given that Gosling's beginning to take on directorial duties, Cavill may have an impressive shot at nabbing the part.

The star may have to battle it out with Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth for the role though, as after raunching up his act in new movie 'Rush', rumours are rife that he could be a contender.

Fans of the actor and books seem to agree, with a number declaring their approval on Twitter, @Kaylarichoux wrote: "second time I'm read the fifty shades trilogy and I'm picturing Henry cavill as Christian. Life is perfect."

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie UPDATE: Henry Cavill New Front Runner For ChristianGrey? By Bobby Pollier, EnStarz | Jan 06, 2013 05:20 PM EST

Buzz over the movie adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" continues to heat up the web at an astounding rate.  While many notable actors have been discussed in fan polls as favorites to play the role of the 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey, one of the names that seems to come up fairly often is "Man of Steel's" Henry Cavill.

To add to the 29-year old's demand, he was recently coined as the "Breakout Star of 2013" by Fandango.  In the contest, Cavill beat out British movie stars Nicholas Hoult and Sam Clafin of "The Hunger Games:  Catching Fire," among other male celebrities.

Many women would love to see Cavill don the Grey role due to his dashing looks and chiseled physique.

"If the Man of Steel is the breakout star of 2013, then he totally should be #Christian Grey!" a fan of the franchise tweeted.
