There should be a whole sector of Hollywood that is just casting Henry Cavil in nerd things. Plus a podcast. He could also live stream his nerd shit. Make it a whole network. They would make so much money.

Funny as it was to see 29 year old Christopher Lambert playing himself as a young boy, Cavill will have a harder time at 42.
My money is on the worse case scenario. It would be insane for them to do it - but Hollywood loves trying to force the impossible to work.
Best case scenario: They use a different actor. Simple.
Worse case scenario: They CGI-deage Cavill and he loses a lot of weight for those scenes. Ridiculous. But the director applauds Cavill for his efforts at "authenticity".
