Incredibly, we’ve been seeing Henry Cavill’s masterpieces for more than two decades. After his big break on the BBC’s The Tudors, the talented British actor got the role of Superman in the 2013 reboot movie Man of Steel. The movie became the top-grossing Superman movie ever and held the position until 2016.
While he might be known best for his role in Man of Steel, Cavill has played many different characters that have proven his versatility as an actor. His highest-grossing film to date was Batman Vs.Superman: Dawn of Justice, where he played his role as Superman.
‘Man of Steel’ (2013)
If there’s one thing that cannot be avoided when we talk about Cavill’s amazing career (which hopefully has years and years more), it’s evident: He is Superman. And if Superman is all you know of Henery Cavill, you know it begins with 2013’s Man of Steel.
‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ (2022)
Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) is a 60s super-secret C.I.A. Agent who successfully rescues Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander) from East Berlin regardless of being pursued by K.G.B. operative Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). They don’t see coming that, soon, they’ll have to join hands to save the country
‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ (2021)
After the demise of Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), Darkseid (Ray Porter) sends his loyal servant Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) to Earth to subjugate the human race. Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) joins forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) as they attempt to bring the metahumans of Earth together.
Enola Holmes (2020)
Over the years, endless portrayals of the world-class detective Sherlock Holmes have been created, yet not a single one of them has driven him into a hot jock/nerd personality as Henry Cavill in Enola Holmes has. While Enola Holmes portrays Millie Bobby Brown as its main character, Cavill portrays an exceptional role as Sherlock, her elder brother, who, alongside his brother, comes home from London to find out what must they do with Enola when their mom (Helena Bonham Carter) out of nowhere disappeared on Enola’s 16th birthday.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
If there’s anything more badass than reloading your arms as an imitation of cocking a gun mid-fight, you’re presumably not on planet Earth anymore. Cavill’s character as Walker in Mission: Impossible – Fallout is maybe one of the most mind-blowing things to happen to the franchise, the beginning of an era if you will. His addition to the Mission: Impossible fray is such a natural fit you often question if you imagined him not being there earlier.
