The Witcher star Henry Cavill once weighed in on his opinions on playing homosexual characters on screen

“Not a Problem”- How Henry Cavill Revealed He Doesn’t Mind Coming Across as Homosexual in 2015

For all we know, the Hollywood A-lister Henry Cavill
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=internal_links&utm_campaign=hashtags]
has long established an undefeated feat in the Industry. Despite the numerous
snubs, replacements, or controversies, the Man of Steel has always flown high
chin-high with his iconic Superman suit. Not just the typical Superhero, the
British giant has also nailed versatile roles such as the mighty Geralt of Rivia
or the sharp-witted fictional character Sherlock Holmes alongside another
Netflix star, Millie Bobby Brown

However, there is yet another genre the star would love to explore. 

When world issues could not turn down the Superhero, gender variant roles, of
course, are no big deal. 


PLAYING GAY IS NO BIG DEAL FOR CAVILL

Back in the year 2015, the Enola Holmes lead, Henry Cavill, revealed a lot of
the latest updates, his follow-ups, upcoming projects, and a lot more. As
reported by the Guardian, the actor also spoke

of his interest in playing a wide range of roles other than the typical of his
superheroes. Confessing to the outlet, Cavill confessed how he does not mind
adding gay roles to his portfolio.

Taking into consideration the dynamics that come along with being homosexual,
Cavill laughed it off stating he is all for it. For him, it does not come
deliberately. It is not “like we said, ‘Let’s gay it up a bit.’ But two male
leads, a buddy movie–it’s going to happen,” said the star. “A lot of straight
guys would be like, ‘Oh, that’s a bit gay, I’m not doing that.’ But I’ll happily
stand with my arm around my best mate in a pub. Not a problem,” said Henry
Cavill.

Although considered a bit off-topic by traditional cinema, Henry Cavill would
happily take it if given an opportunity to.


HENRY CAVILL IS COMFORTABLE PLAYING HOMOSEXUAL ROLES

Following the same, the star also spoke at length about how it was also quite
comfortable for him to blend into the role. A bunch of others, from his tribe
and himself, “are comfortable with our sexuality, so we’re not fearful of coming
across as homosexual.”

However, all of his manifestations are still left as quotes in articles, as the
star has not embarked on such a journey yet. Following the unhappy leave from
The Witcher [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/], and a cameo with Dwayne
Johnson, the British A-lister is yet to make a comeback. Not just cameos,
Johnson even enjoys having fun debates with the star
