The Immortals star will take the lead in Love and Other Drugs director Ed Zwick's upcoming film, reports Variety.
The movie explores the creation of the famous construction by a series of different Chinese rulers.
It is being produced by China-based Legendary East from an idea conceived by Legendary Pictures founder Thomas Tull and World War Z writer Max Brooks.
Legendary has not yet commented on the casting.
The Great Wall was written by Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. The pair have collaborated regularly on a number of film and TV projects in the past 25 years, including Love and Other Drugs, The Last Samurai, My So-Called Life and thirtysomething.
Cavill will next appear alongside Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver in The Cold Light of Day.
