After battling super spies, nightmare monsters, and apocalyptic villains, Henry Cavill is set to face his biggest challenge yet: The game of love.

It's been confirmed that Henry Cavill will star in The Rosie Project, an upcoming film directed and written by Steve Falk. In the film, an unlucky-in-love university professor creates an elaborate questionnaire to find a wife and meets an unconventional woman who doesn’t match any of his “requirements”, but might be the perfect woman for him.

Obviously, this is a change of pace for Cavill, who spends a great deal of his silver screen time punching bad guys or solving mysteries while looking suave as can be. With any luck and some careful planning, The Rosie Project will give the former Man of Steel a solid platform to showcase his swoon-ability.

Cavill recently wrapped filming for the second season of Netflix's The Witcher. He's also set to play the lead in Lionsgate's Highlander and recently signed on to star in Matthew Vaughn's next spy project Argylle. In other words, everything looks to be coming up Milhouse for Cavill at the moment, and you won't hear any complaints from me on that front. You do you, Mr. Muscles.
