Actor Henry Cavill was interviewed by the fan site Henry Cavill.org. He provided the barest preview of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie that’s scheduled to be released in August 2015.

Cavill was asked if he’d ever want to do a comedy.

“Comedy? Maybe,” Cavill responded. “Man from U.N.C.L.E. has a very comedic element. So, you’ll see a bit of comedy in that.”

That was it, U.N.C.L.E. wise. The site talked to Cavill and his brother Nik, a Royal Marine, after both participated in a charity run up the Rock of Gibraltar last weekend.

It’s not the first time there have been hints that the movie contains humor. In April, the movie’s director of photography, John Mathieson, said that Cavill played the part of Napoleon Solo “quite humorously, everything’s slightly quirky, slightly sharp. It was very comic strip in some ways, I mean that in a good way.”

Henry Cavill.org uploaded its interview to YouTube in two segments. Here’s the second part, which contains the U.N.C.L.E. comment, starting a little after the 1:00 mark.

  1. Well, I can handle a little comedy, but I don’t want it approached with campiness.

  2. if many u.n.c.l.e fan’s from the sixties era will remember. that time was a campy time. especially shows like batman and others.however I hope the movie doesn’t over do it self with comedy.
