H.C. for U.N.C.L.E.?

Henry Cavill is about to rescue Earth from General Zod in next month’s Man of Steel, and it seems he soon could be rescuing a second hot property, too.

The powers that be at Warner Bros. are eyeing the up-and-coming about-to-arrive actor as a replacement for – get this – none other than Tom freakin’ Cruise in the studio’s in-the-works Man from U.N.C.L.E. adaptation.

That’s big time, yo.

Not bad, H.C.! Not bad at all. You have gone from being called “Fat Cavill” to being mentioned in the same breath as on of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

You sure are showing ’em up bullies.
