Henry Cavill has mentioned before that he’s addicted to World of Warcraft. We’ve also reported relatively recently that he was playing World of Warcraft and ignored Zach Snyder’s initial call when he got the lead role in the upcoming Superman movie “Man of Steel”.

Henry Cavill was on the Tonight Show last night with Jay Leno to talk about the movie and they discussed the story a bit. The funniest part to me is the fact that you can tell that Jay Leno’s “reaction” to the story was completely scripted as after Cavill mentioned WoW you could hear females screaming excitedly about it. However, Jay responds with a lame joke about how the girls were responding with “oh… that’s also what my boyfriend plays all the time”. Just goes to show how much out of touch some of Hollywood is to the gaming culture – certain stereotypes need to end Mr. Leno.

With that said, how possible is it that we could see Henry Cavill in the upcoming “Warcraft” movie? We mentioned before a casting call that we were playing around with – but we forgot to include Henry Cavill. He’s a Warcraft fan and he’s putting out a movie with Legendary Pictures which is the same studio the “Warcraft” movie is happening with. Not only that but “Man of Steel” has the same producer, Charles Roven, as the upcoming “Warcraft” movie. Just some food for thought.
