The Justice League star spoke to Access Hollywood at the New York City premiere of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and shared the happy news. "I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited about it. I'm sure you'll see much more of that,” he told a mediaperson when asked about becoming a dad.

Henry and Natalie have been dating for more than two years. They recently attended the London premiere of the actor's movie Argylle. They went Instagram official in April 2021 when they shared a photo of themselves playing chess together to their profiles. "This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess," Cavill wrote in a caption. In her post, Natalie wrote, "Teaching my dear Henry how to play some chess...or...maybe he let me win?"

Based on a novel by Damien Lewis and declassified files from the British War Department, the film sees Major Gus March-Phillipps, played by Henry Cavill, leading his team of misfits to fight the Nazis with what are deemed "ungentlemanly" war tactics.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is out in cinemas globally from April 19.
