Henry Cavill appeared to have plenty to talk about when he joined a female friend for lunch in London on Tuesday.

Dining al-fresco, the actor, 38, looked typically dapper in a grey polo shirt and indulged in a tasty plate of pasta while sipping on a glass of white wine as he enjoyed a day out in the capital.

Chatting away to his companion, Henry – who teamed his top with jeans and stylish brown shoes – raised his muscular arms into the air at one point and was also seen chatting away to a waiter.

After mains, the pair tucked into a strawberry-topped dessert, with Henry swapping wine for a glass of fizzy water.

Showcasing his tip-top table manners, the Superman star placed a white napkin over his knees and made sure not to speak with is mouth full.

After settling the bill, Henry was picked up by a large grey car, and waiting in the back seat was his beloved pet dog Kal.

It comes after the actor was seen for the first time as Geralt in season two of Netflix’s much-anticipated The Witcher.

The streaming giant dropped a trailer for the show’s second season earlier in July, revealing it will return to screens in December.

Picking up where the first season left off, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), a monster hunter for hire who was mutated and trained from an early age to slay deadly beasts, has finally met up with the exiled Princess Ciri (Freya Allan) in the two-minute teaser.

Their relationship is expected to be the main focus of the fantasy drama’s upcoming season, according to IndieWire.

Something wrong? Henry looked pensive while resting his head in his palm

Season one, which jumped across several timelines, ended with Geralt and Ciri battling an army from the villainous Nilfgaardian Empire.

Fast forward to the first teaser for season two, Geralt has a homecoming of sorts, when he heads back to his childhood home of Kaer Morhen, where he begins training sessions with Ciri, the crown princess of Cintra who possesses magical powers, to help her be better suited to ‘a world that is changing.’

‘Facing your fear is not easy but I am here for you,’ he tells his protégé, while he hands her a large sword.

‘When I say run, you run. And when I say hide, you hide,’ he tells her during their training.

But the seemingly more tranquil home life would be short-lived when Geralt warns Ciri to ‘run’ when real danger arrives.

While Yennefer was largely absent for much of the trailer, she did finally make an appearance in the final few moments.

In its synopsis, Netflix described season two: ‘Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen.’

It adds, ‘While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.’
