Actor Henry Cavill recently shocked the world with his return as Superman in Black Adam, which released on October 21, 2022. Fans were ecstatic to see their favorite Superman back in action after a prolonged hiatus, during which he showed no signs that he would be donning the red cape ever again.
His brilliant acting skills aren’t the only reason he is loved by his fans. Fans believe that his pleasant attitude towards other people, including fans and other celebrities, is what makes him so much more likable. His hidden nerdier side is also something his fans adore. The guy missed Zack Snyder’s phone call because he was so busy playing World of Warcraft! However, sometimes his niceness might not be reciprocated. For instance, when he wished almost all superheroes a Happy Superhero Day and got no response back.
Henry Cavill’s Good Gesture Gets Ignored
On National Superhero Day, back in 2017, Henry Cavill took the time out of his day to thank a bunch of actors who play superheroes in their respective universes. This seemingly unending list included superheroes from the DC Universe, as well as their rival universe, the MCU. Some of the celebrities he mentioned on his Instagram post included Ben Affleck, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Gal Gadot, and so on.
However, much to his fans’ disappointments, none of the celebrities tagged had acknowledged his post, except the Aquaman actor, Jason Momoa, who left a comment saying “Following your lead brother. Love ya.”
kind reminder that Henry Cavill once celebrated nat’l superhero day, tagged like every working comic book movie actor, and only Jason Momoa responded.

This left fans furious as they took to Twitter to express their disapproval. Many claimed that Cavill was one actor that the world did not deserve as he was just too nice. Twitter was divided in its’ reactions as some believed that the actors probably have management running their account or they simply missed it. Fans also expressed that it did not matter if they replied to his post or not as this was about Cavill being genuinely proud of being Superman.
We do not deserve him (and Momoa) ❤️

Even for the issues I have with the DCEU, I can’t think of anybody else I’d rather have playing Superman, especially with the work and passion he puts into the role.

Whether the celebrities saw his post or not, one thing that’s for sure is that the Enola Holmes actor is one known for his big heart. Him taking the time out of his day to create an extensive list of his fellow superheroes shows just what playing Superman means to him.
Henry Cavill is a Real Life Superman
Superman is the ultimate symbol of truth, justice, and hope. He acts to rekindle the goodness of the human spirit. Well, Henry Cavill is not far from his on-screen persona, with him being known for his kind personality.
One incident that backs this statement would be when Cavill’s nephew Thomas went to school, fully dressed as Superman announcing that his uncle was, indeed, Superman. Neither his teachers, nor his classmates believed him. Even the principal had to call his mother, who then confirmed the news.
However, that wasn’t good enough for Cavill. When his sister-in-law called him explaining the situation, Cavill wasted no time and arrived at his nephew’s school, leaving everyone speechless. There’s no doubt that Thomas would become the coolest kid in his class, all thanks to his uncle!
