It’s never too hot for Superman, evidently.

Henry Cavill — who actually has stepped away from playing Superman in the movies, but is known more for that role than anything else — posted pictures on his social media accounts of a trip to the Valley.

“It’s a chilly 95 degrees here in Phoenix today and it’s Red Friday!” he says in the post. “So I thought I might break out my real Chiefs gear! Go Chiefs!” In the photos he’s wearing a winter Kansas City Chiefs hat (and long pants, though with flip flops), and is driving a golf cart adorned with a Chiefs flag.

The Chiefs open the season Sunday at the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Cavill is British, so you may wonder why he’s a Chiefs fan — or an American football fan at all. Evidently he has been for a while.

“I was trying to think of something that would always stick,” he said on “The Rich Eisen Show” in 2018, according to 247.sports. “I figured Superman’s from Kansas. I was playing Superman at the time. It just kind of made sense to me.”

It makes more sense than “Justice League” did, but that’s not saying much.

Ouch.

It wasn’t clear why Cavill is here, but it probably wasn’t for the weather. Despite his reading of the thermometer — he posted the pictures a little after 1 p.m. — it was a balmy 108 degrees in the Valley Friday. A little cooler than the frigid Fortress of Solitude, certainly, but we’ve had worse.

Still, where’s that icy-cold Superman breath when you need it?
