He'll be flying into movie theaters in 2012, but who exactly is the newest Superman, Henry Cavill? The latest screen star to don the famed crimson cape has gained fame as a castmember of Showtime's period romp "The Tudors," and will hit the big screen in the upcoming Greek mythology epic "War of the Gods." But before he was tapped to play the iconic superhero, he was super close to portraying everyone from Twilight's Edward Cullen to James Bond to, ironically, Superman in another filmmaker's vision of the superhero.

He was up for Superman before
British screen star Cavill has been making a name for himself stateside as Sir Charles Brandon on the saucy historical drama "The Tudors," but he's come close to portraying Superman before.

MTV News caught up with Cavill back in 2009, and the then 25-year-old star told us he was set to zip through the sky as the Man of Steel in director McG's ("Terminator Salvation") take on the American icon. However, a shuffling of filmmakers resulted in Cavill getting dropped from the project, which eventually became the 2006 flick "Superman Returns."

"I was attached to the McG 'Superman' movie," Cavill told MTV News "Then Bryan Singer came on and took the helm and he made his movie.

"[The McG and Singer versions] were two different movies," Cavill explained. "So it wasn't so much of a sting because it was like, 'Oh, I got [the role],' and then the movie just didn't happen."

That isn't Henry Cavill's real body as Superman in those photos! Someone just put his head on the body of another actor that played Superman. I know that it's Brandon Routh's body in one of those photos. Whoever photoshopped those pictures should've been bright enough to never show Superman with hair on his face. Superman is a clean cut American action hero. Hair on the face is unacceptable for Superman.

A los productores de esta y otras pelis de Superman: "Hagan lo que su ching@d@ gana les dé" aunque los fans opinen, ustedes ya tienen su decisión Muchos hubieran querido a T W, ya de plano a Brandon R, que no lo hizo tan peor, quiza no fue una buena trama, lo rescatable, es el hijo de superman o superman jr, en fin, esperemos que no sea una chafa peli
