He's pretty good.    I always felt he was perfect for Superman just the writing was meh.    He was good in that spy/action flick he did a bit ago as well.    He won't have issues meeting the physical requirements, in fact he's larger than you'd think a Geralt would be.

Apparently he's a pretty big gamer too and really wanted this job, so it's nice he's all in and actually interested in it.     I can't wait for this show.

Agreed. I read on Reddit (so you know it's true) that he missed a call from a director because he was playing WoW.

I'm not buying the whole "Henry Cavill is a nerd" narrative that has been going around the last few months. You can just look at some guys and tell they're not a dork, and he is very much one of them.

fwiw some guy on reddit in some thread claimed to be from the same hometown as him and knows him personally and said this all is very true

 

apparently he was raiding in WoW and almost missed Snyder's call when he landed the Supes job

He is also a notorious vag slayer so that sort of cancels out any geeky attributes he might have.

lmao well he is ridiculously good looking so if he wasn't getting action I would be concerned he was actually a robot

This isn't the 90's where everyone that cared about video games or fantasy type stuff is Skreetch Powers lol.      I mean, I bet 80% of the American population is playing some game, in some fashion now (mobile, etc).       Nerd is in in the 2000's.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
