Popular Hollywood actor who’s played iconic roles of Superman and Geralt from The Witcher is reportedly arriving in the Call of Duty universe, very soon.

Henry Cavill has been going through an interesting phase lately. Firstly, he ruled the hearts of millions with his portrayal of the Man of Steel in the DCEU movies. Following his astronomical rise as a fan-favorite superhero, he then went on to impress the viewers by playing Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher series, based on the popular gaming saga. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, he’s no longer associated with any of these two characters.

Surprisingly, though, it looks like the stars are aligning once again for the Hollywood actor. And he might end up gaining popularity with another iconic role. But this one’s going to be an intense, action-filled ride for him. After all, that’s what a franchise like Call of Duty demands.
