It's definitely not tricks but treats for us this Halloween!

The initial details for next year's Durrell Challenge have just been released.




"We look forward to welcoming local and overseas runners of all abilities to the 13K race and to our *NEW* super hero stroll. In addition we cannot wait to welcome you all to our fantastic family fun day, lets #doitfordurrell

Keep posted for the opening of registration and for further announcements.

The Durrell Challenge team."

There is your invite guys, who is joining Henry in Jersey?!.. he's ready:

“We’re 6 months away from the next Durrell Challenge! My training while not in earnest has indeed begun. I’m very much looking forward to seeing you all there! Hopefully I’ll be a little better at the hills this time!”

This year's run was a huge success (and a lot of fun), and Lee Durrell is proud to have Henry returning to host the event:

“In announcing the second ever Durrell Challenge, I am thrilled to say that Henry Cavill will be with us again. Henry has been a fantastic Ambassador for Durrell, and with Henry running in the 2017 Challenge, I am sure the day will be a memorable one for everyone involved – the runners, the families and children visiting the Wildlife Park and maybe even for the animals!”

Royal Marines Celebrating 352nd Birthday This Weekend

Henry attends RM service in Gibraltar with his brother, Lt. Col. Nik Cavill in 2014

This weekend the Royal Marines are celebrating their 352nd birthday, and the Royal Navy is looking back at their history with this post that we are sharing with you since Henry is an ambassador for their charity:

On the 28th October 2016, the Royal Marines celebrate their 352nd birthday. From fighting on the decks and in the mastheads at the Battle of Trafalgar, through World War Two, to the modern day, leading the assaults on the Falkland Islands and Iraq and operating in Afghanistan, they are an integral part of Britain’s defence and the Royal Navy; their distinction combines excellence, versatility and unique amphibious skills.

Formed in the reign of King Charles II on October 28, 1664 as the Duke of York and Albany’s Maritime Regiment of Foot (or Admiral’s Regiment), the name Marines first appeared in the records in 1672 and in 1802 they were titled the Royal Marines by King George III.

Since then, Marines have taken part in more battles on land and sea around the world than any other branch of the British Armed Forces; so numerous are the Corps’ battle honours they are simply represented by the famous Globe and the single honour ‘Gibraltar’.

Today, the Royal Marines are the UK’s Commando Forces and the Royal Navy’s amphibious troops. An elite force held at very high readiness, they are trained for worldwide rapid response, able to deal with a wide spectrum of threats and security challenges.

The main deployable force is 3 Commando Brigade RM with a Lead Commando Group ready and held at five days' notice to deploy globally, in support of the UK’s national interests.

Since becoming ambassador for The Royal Marines Charity in 2014, Henry has worked hard to raise funds for military families in need. He participated in the Gibraltar Rock Run in October of that year, and just this month completed the Commando Challenge in Devon, UK.

At that event, Henry told us why it's so important for him to support the Royal Marines:

You see these incredibly strong, powerful, fun charismatic people. And you realize that they are going to go through stuff which may change them forever, and they may the life or soul of the party at one stage and all of a sudden their life changes dramatically. We need to be there for them when it does, because they've always been there for us.    

Watch the full interview, and if you can support the Royal Marines Charity on his JustGiving page.

We had the privilege of meeting several Royal Marines as we covered the Commando Challenge, and we wanted to wish them all a very happy 352nd birthday.

Check out Henry's birthday wish in 2014, at about the :46 mark.

Los Angeles Sighting: Henry Poses For Photo With Fan

mariopolanco: "#Superman for #president"

Piers Morgan told Twitter he flew into Los Angeles with Henry Wednesday night, and we have a first sighting!

Thanks to Pam for sending in the pic of Henry with Mario yesterday.

Henry In LA?.. Yes, According To Journalist Piers Morgan!

British journalist Piers Morgan took to twitter overnight, to rave about British Airways' fab treatment during his flight from London to Los Angeles.  

Superb service again @British_Airways (LHR-LAX, BA269). Many thanks.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 20, 2016

When one of his more than five million followers suggested it must have been in first class, he confirmed it.. and threw in he was with Henry!

Right.
With Superman. #HenryCavill https://t.co/j9ECWRbDAB

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 20, 2016

No word on why Henry is reportedly in Los Angeles (Morgan could have been joking, don't know his sense of humor). We had initially heard some Justice League filming would be taking place in the area, but since production wrapped in England and Iceland we've had no other updates. We're also still waiting to hear news on a Sand Castle release. Either way, welcome to unseasonably hot LA! -- We'll let you know if we hear the (maybe) trip is work/filming related.

"He Has This Goodwill, And Is Polished, And Is You Know.. Pure"

Batman v Superman BTS/Warner Bros/Clay Enos

Gal Gadot has been promoting her new comedy "Keeping up with the Joneses," just after wrapping Justice League. HeyUGuys took the opportunity to ask her about her experience working with Henry and everyone else on set, and she had the best answer:

"It's funny 'cuz literally each and every one of them is the character in a weird way. Henry is super.. you know.. he has this goodwill, and is polished, and is.. you know pure." 

Aww, Wonder Woman rocks.. which is why we're happy that she tops Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Most Powerful Superheroes. Batman was #3, followed by Supes:

So much about Superman — essentially America’s first superhero — feels quaint today. Truth, Justice, and the American Way were simple ideals for a simpler time, and his Boy Scout mentality may feel out of step with the darker, more tortured superheroes who fill our movie theaters and television screens today. But this alien from Krypton, armed with superstrength, superspeed, X-ray vision, and flight, is the superhero we all identified with first.

Today, as America grapples for what it stands for, Superman — charged with saving humans from themselves, even when he isn’t wanted — may have renewed relevance. In Zack Synder’s interpretation of the Man of Steel, his Achilles’ heel isn’t just a physical aversion to kryptonite. Turns out those broad shoulders are equipped to carry around a ton of emotional baggage, too — loneliness and guilt are formidable opponents. Maybe Superman’s quest for connection, the ultimate immigrant story, is more poignant now than ever. —Nicole Sperling

Definitely the version of Superman we relate to, as we look ahead to Justice League. The one year mark getting closer! #Nov17.
