Henry Cavill wants to be in a Red Dead Redemption movie

During a red carpet event for The Witcher  Season 2, Henry Cavill expressed some interest in a silver screen adaptation of  Red Dead Redemption. 

A brief interview with  GameReactor  reveals that Cavill recently began playing Rockstar Games monumental cowboy simulator, and he’s eager to see what that world could be like on film.

“Well, that’s a tricky one because you’re tying both an IP and a company together, which is a tricky thing to do, so I certainly don’t want to put myself in any corners with that, but there are plenty of games out there,” Cavill said. “I’ve actually started playing Red Dead Redemption 2  (I know I’m a little bit late to that party) but I started playing it and I’m really enjoying it. And so, something like that I think would be fun to turn into a movie”.

Cavill knows how to do fictional characters justice. At least we thought he did as Geralt of Rivia in  Season 2 of The Witcher.

Anyone all caught up on the series might want to look at our  explainer for the finale. Bit of a head-scratcher, that one. 

Cavill also  recently expressed interest in the rumored Mass Effect  TV series. There is still no official word on that yet, though some  former Bioware staffers aren’t big on the idea  of an adaptation.
