Henry Cavill may not return as Superman again, but his journey to fantasy films is far from over. If anything, the actor is exploring his career and may even be in talks about an interesting much-discussed project. While fans already love him for his acting skills, build, and charm, his posh British accent is enough to woo the audience.

The trend to make movies out of games has always been a successful formula for filmmakers. It helps garner pre-existing fans as well as new ones. With a massively successful game like Legend of Zelda, Cavill could now be ready to make his voice-over debut in this interesting character. Here is an insight into the development.

Henry Cavill is in talks to join the voiceover cast of The Legend of Zelda movie

Henry Cavill grabbed the role of The Witcher as a result of his interest in and knowledge of the game and novel series. While he exited that show, another opportunity to play a game-based character knocked on his door. As per GiantFreakingRobot, the 39-year-old is in talks with the makers of The Legend of Zelda for a role. He would likely play the role of the main protagonist Link, who joins Zelda on their adventure together.

Cavill is an avid gamer and is likely a fan of 1986 developed Nintendo game. A 2009 movie of the same name already exists with discussions of a future Netflix serial as well. Just like Chris Pratt’s Super Mario, this project will also likely be a big deal. Although the main character does not speak in the game, the movie will certainly give him a voice. The British actor has made a career out of playing fantasy or period-based characters, especially with his work in The Tudors.
