Henry Cavill is going from “The Witcher” to the witching hour: The actor is expecting his first child with entertainment executive Natalie Viscuso, The Times has confirmed.
The “Justice League” and “The Tudors” alum alluded to the life update Monday in New York at the red-carpet premiere for his latest film, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”
“I’m very excited about it,” the 40-year-old star told “Access Hollywood” about fatherhood. “Natalie and I are both very excited. I’m sure you’ll see much more of that.”
When the red-carpet reporter asked Cavill if his co-star Henry Golding — a father of two — inspired him to be a dad, Cavill replied with a laugh and said: “I mean, he didn’t inspire me to do that. My parents did.”
The future Dad of Steel and Vertigo Entertainment vice president made their relationship Instagram official in April 2021 by sharing a photo of themselves in a chess match.
Aside from chess, the couple’s penchant for tabletop games has manifested into a professional production. The two announced in December 2022 that they would turn the “Warhammer 40,000” game into a live-action franchise.
“For 30 years I have dreamt of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action,” the actor and executive wrote on Instagram at the time, shortly after announcing his departure from “The Witcher” and the DC Extended Universe. “Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skill set and experience to guide a Warhammer Cinematic Universe into life.
“Partnering with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been a blessing beyond words, without her we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon,” he added.
