7 Pics That Prove 'Man of Steel' Star Henry Cavill Is Too Sexy for His Shirt

Is it a coincidence or a blessing that practically every project in which Henry Cavill appears includes at least one shirtless scene? I'd say it's one seductive miracle.

Cavill stars as Clark Kent (a.k.a. Superman) in this summer's soon-to-be blockbuster Man of Steel. The Zack Snyder-directed film, which hits theaters June 14, documents Clark Kent's discovery of his exterrestrial origins in the face of an Earth invasion by his own alien kin.
Bearing in mind the revelations Cavill has made in previous roles (such as in Immortals and The Tudors), we'd like to do a bit of exploring of our own — of Cavill's hot bod. Man of Steel? More like abs of steel. Launch our gallery to view seven shirtless shots of this sexy Superman.

Mortal but Manly

Henry Cavill looks like he's ready to pounce as Theseus in Immortals. Although Theseus, who is selected by Zeus to fight the vindictive King Hyperion, isn't a Greek God, Henry Cavill's steamy body sure is God-like. In honor of Cavill's role as Superman in Man of Steel, we've rounded up 7 drool-worthy shots of his awesome bod. Gratuitous? Yes. Awe-inspiring? Heck yes.

 

Chained Up

All greased up with nowhere to go? The future Man of Steel hunk has his foot chained in this scene from Immortals. We wouldn't mind some 50 Shades of Grey-inspired fun with this hottie.

  

 

Fierce and Fiesty

Speechless, huh? Cavill not only looks badass in this fight scene from Immortals, but also finer than fine. Cavill, you can spar with me any day.

  

 

Can't Hold Cavill Back

Even with a needle sword at his throat, Cavill still makes the ladies soon. The Tudors actor, who starred as Charles Brandon on the hit Showtime series, is about to blow up our hot meter in this ab-tastic shot. Perhaps his Superman cape in Man of Steel will be just as revealing... Well, we can hope.

  

 

Ready to Fight

As John Mayer would put it, Cavill's "body is a wonderland." The look in Cavill's eyes in this Immortals battle scene is fiery and intense, but I bet the last think you're looking at is his eyes...

  

 

Bestill my Heart, Kent Clark

To say Cavill is handsome would be the understatement of the century. Cavill looks stately in this statuesque stance in Immortals to be sure, but he also looks smokin'. Superman, I'd fly away with you.

  

 

Just Take My Hand

Doesn't a long and intimate stroll on the beach while holding hands with The Cold Light of Day actor sound like a dream come true? Take a breath, it's just a fantasy. But Henry Cavill, thank you for opting to do oh so many shirtless scenes. It's much appreciated.
