He plays THE man of steel on the silver screen.

And now Henry Cavill has landed on the cover of Men's Health thanks to a superhero workout for his return as Clark Kent's alter-ego in the up-coming film, Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The 32-year-old has never shied away from a more beefy body-type, but playing Superman has forced the chiselled actor to pile on the muscle-mass, and he now cuts an even more impressive figure.

Man of muscle? Henry Cavill has landed on the cover of Men's Health thanks to a superhero workout for his return as Clark Kent's alter-ego in the up-coming film, Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

Henry - who's previously portrayed the equally epic character of Perseus in Immortals (2011) - graces the cover of the September issue of the fitness bible, bearded and granite-like.

Throwing an imperious glance at the camera and barely tensing his arms, the man who plays the man of steel can be seen wearing a smart polo shirt that barely contains his barrel-like chest.

With cannon-like biceps emerging from his torso-hugging garment, the Jersey-born A-Lister cuts an imposing figure.

But unlike the clean-shaven Clark Kent (Superman's alter-ego), Henry oozes an imperial almost brutish presence as he flashes a cool and steely stare at the camera - sporting a perfectly coiffed, slick-back which is at odds with his untamed beard.

Posing for the magazine in a variety of shots, the star of DC's revamped Superman series looks every-inch the man to play America's beloved caped-crusader.

Along with his natural, rugged good-looks and dark hair, Henry embodies the spirit of Superman while his mammoth training regime has clearly taken him 'from zero to superhero' in physical terms.

This isn't the first time Cavill has had to pack on the pounds and hit the gym for the role, in 2013 the rising-star made his debut appearance in Superman's iconic costume for Man Of Steel.

Get the look: Read about Henry's grueling regime in the September issue of Men's Health

For his first outing as Krypton's most-famous son, director Zack Snyder - who is also at the helm of the latest film - paired Henry with trainer Mark Twight - the man Zack looked to when he needed help sculpting Gerard Butler into a Spartan king for his role in 300 (2006).

Speaking to Men's Fitness in 2013, the Hollywood trainer revealed that Henry didn't have an easy ride when it came to throwing on Superman's famous tights and cape.

He said: 'The task for that project was simple: "make an average man look like a superhero and then keep him that way for six months". Simple, not easy.'

'Stability requires a broad, solid foundation and that takes many months to build.'

And while Henry has been busy filming the highly anticipated comic-book crossover, which sees him star alongside the new Batman, Ben Afleck, he has also been cutting an equally imposing figure in other projects.

The actor's latest stint on the silver screen sees him star as American spy Napoleon Solo in Guy Ritchie's remake of the classic 60s TV series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which hits cinema's later this month.

The full interview appears in the September 2015 issue of Men’s Health, on sale now. Also available as a digital edition.
