Superman Henry Cavill is expecting his first baby with his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso.

Exclusively talking with ET during the New York City premiere of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the 40-year-old actor said, “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.”

Cavill told the outlet’s reporter when she queried him about taking on fatherhood. He shared that this current phase he’s in is providing him with both joy and direction. “I’m enjoying this stage of my life very much so,” the Man of Steel star shared. “I’m turning 41 in May and I have a real sense of approaching everything with more — more direction now.”

He added, “One of the advantages of getting older is that you have the beauty of hindsight. And now with my career especially, I’ve got a lot of direction. I’ve got my hands on the steering wheel a lot more.”

As the interview was in conclusory mode, the reporter asserted that the actor would make a “great dad.” To which he replied ‘Thank you’ with a smile.

On Sunday, the couple was spotted exploring New York City. Henry was seen holding seen hands of Viscuso, who was dressed in a form-fitting black dress and matching boots.
