The Witcher and Superman actor Henry Cavill has once again displayed his earnest heroism by sharing a supercut of himself assembling “all the parts” to build a PC from scratch.
Cavill posted the video on Instagram with a playful warning in the caption: “This kind of material isn’t for everyone… viewer direction is advised. You may see a lot of parts that you haven’t seen before.”
For those brave enough to hit play, the video opens with a shot of all of the components required to construct a computer and swiftly leads into a moment spent flicking through the instruction manuals before he attempts to place the first part into the motherboard in a scene that crackles with more tension than a Superman rescue mission.

The rest of the footage follows a similar pattern, with Cavill locating parts, pondering instructions, and then assembling pieces. These sequences are accompanied by a supporting soundtrack provided by Barry White whose singing is only very occasionally interrupted to present a dramatic title card, providing some humorous insight into Cavill’s thought process.
In response, many fans took to their own keyboards. One user remarked: “That’s what Superman does in FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE when the world is not threatened,” while others commented on how relatable the content was, suggesting, “Superman is one of us.” Another viewer quizzed: “Can you tell us what you CANNOT DO, Mr. Cavill?” after the video concluded with a successful switch-on of the equipment.

This isn’t the first time that Cavill has proven his geek bonafides on social media; he previously posted an image of him painting a helmet for a Warhammer figurine, citing this activity as one of his “almost life long hobbies” that he has been “following but not actively doing.”
While awaiting the supercut of Cavill’s time in self-isolation, fans are also looking forward to the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League, which will be coming to HBO Max in 2021, and might take the form of a four-hour movie, or even a TV-like run of episodes.
