Henry Cavill is set to star in the first-ever live-action Voltron movie (and I’m still over the moon that a live-action Voltron movie is even happening).
No word yet on who Cavill will be playing, but he joins newcomer Daniel Quinn-Toye who was Tom Holland’s understudy during his West End run of Romeo and Juliet (H/TThe Hollywood Reporter).
Voltron, an adaptation of several different anime series, premiered back in 1984 and follows a team of five young space explorers who – each in their own respective spacecraft – join together to form a super robot known as Voltron. Despite being the top-rated syndicated children’s show during its initial run, it still remains one of the most underrated animated action series – and it’s a mystery as to why it’s taken this long to adapt it for the big screen.
Cavill is no stranger to starring in franchises, as he wasDC’s Superman for almost a decade, as well asGeralt of Rivia in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Witcher for three seasons. He’s also set tostar in a series based on the tabletop game Warhammer, and leada reboot of the ’80s fantasy movie Highlander.
