Henry Cavill reads Superman in new ALA poster

The star of the upcoming “Man of Steel” film, Henry Cavill, stars on a new poster from the American Library Association promoting reading.

The 22×34” poster is available for $16 from the ALA.

Here’s what the association has to say about Cavill:

Born in the United Kingdom, actor Henry Cavill has already made quite an impact in both film and television. Henry made his feature film debut in The Count of Monte Cristo and went on to star in Tristan & Isolde, Woody Allen’s Whatever Works and, most recently, as Theseus in Immortals. On the small screen, Henry appeared on the Showtime series “The Tudors” for four seasons. This summer, audiences will see Henry star in Man of Steel when it flies into theaters on June 14. In preparation for this epic role, Henry delved deep into original source material, reading hundreds of Superman comics.

“Man of Steel” is directed by Zack Snyder.  Cavill co-stars as Clark Kent, aka Superman.  Amy Adams will co-star as Lois Lane.
