Henry Cavill loved 'Aquaman' so much he went for a swim with a fork
While Henry Cavill's first look as Geralt in the TV adaptation of The Witcher video game did not go down well, his Aquaman impression can stay.
The Justice League star posted a congratulatory Instagram to his superhero co-star Jason Momoa by channeling his box-office smash Aquaman.
Cavill, who's usually seen donning a cape as Superman in the DC Extended Universe films, instead took to a body of water — in what weirdly looks like the dead of night — capeless, Lycra-less, and wielding a fork as a trident.
"Channeling the man of the hour, the man of big hugs, big laughs and big pints of Guinness, my man Jason Momoa. How'd I do?" he captioned the post.
"Seriously though," he added, "I just finally got the chance to watch Aquaman here in Hungary. Jason, James and everyone involved in that movie, smashes it out of the (water)park.
"Jason, love you bro, you crushed it."
Aw. And he's right, financially and somewhat critically, with Aquaman smashing box offices around the globe, earning over $822 million and just overtaking fellow Justice League member Wonder Woman in global box office total (Patty Jenkins' film earned $821.8 million globally).
Aquaman kicked the crap out of Justice League at the box office, but hasn't quite smashed 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the highest global box office DC Extended Universe film.
Momoa responded to the post with: "Thank god u were already casted for Superman. I'd be out of a job love u brother. Mahalo for the support."
Cavill's future as Superman remains relatively unclear, with rumours of his departure from the franchise met with rather vague responses from the star himself and Warner Bros in September.
But Momoa took it upon himself to put the rumours to bed at the Aquaman premiere at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre in December, saying Cavill was "absolutely not" leaving the role.
"I just talked to Henry ... He's absolutely not [leaving the character]," he told ET's Melicia Johnson. "He loves the character. He's not. One hundred percent."
