What’s your favorite Henry Cavill movie, and why?
Movie? Man From U.N.C.L.E. because it’s the most fun I’ve ever had with a spy movie, it’s fast paced, funny-really shows his comedic charm, and it was good enough that I actually wanted a sequel. Character? Geralt/The Witcher, because he embodied him effortlessly and with such passion and authenticity that you could tell how much it meant to him and that’s rare. More on reddit.com

r/HenryCavill on Reddit: Do you remember the first time seeing Henry in a movie or TV show?
November 26, 2024 -

Hey everyone, hope you've had a chill and pleasant weekend. 👋🏻😎

Let's have a little discussion today: does anyone here remember watching Henry for the first time on screen or TV? The first movie of his which I watched was Immortals back in 2011, at that time I wasn't very familiar with his career but after learning that he'd be the new Superman and watching the first teaser of Man of Steel, I grew more interested to see him in the role, because Superman was one of my favorite heroes growing up. When Man of Steel came out, I considered it one of the best 2013 blockbusters and I became a (not so) casual fan of Henry ever since. 😉👻

In my humble opinion, Henry is a pretty underrated actor whose charisma and intensity aren't always utilised well by writers and filmmakers - his version of Superman was well loved by many but he could've done so much more if the DCEU was more successful or tightly managed. Nonetheless, Henry has also blessed us with several memorable and iconic characters ranging from Napoleon Solo in Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E., August Walker in Mission Impossible: Fallout, Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher on Netflix etc. Even in projects that might not be instant hits or celebrated masterpieces, Henry's presence is always a welcoming addition, as he stays fully committed to his roles, bringing his signature sharpness to the movies and shows. I'm excited for his upcoming projects and let us wish him all the success he deserves in his career and life! ☺️💪🏻✨

August 4, 2011 - Christopher Reeves did a remarkable job of capturing the duality of Superman’s personality. Every Superman since then, whether it was Dean Cain, Tim Daly or Brandon Routh didn’t quite match what Reeves did in that first movie. Maybe Henry Cavill will pull it off.

December 15, 2022 - That same year, Cavill co-starred in Showtime's TV series "The Tudors" as the young King Henry VIII's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) best friend Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, a dashing fellow who has little trouble sweeping Henry's widowed sister off her feet. That Cavill handled both roles with equal aplomb should have been my first clue to expect big things from him, well before he was cast as Superman in 2011.

September 22, 2025 - Cavill’s first real breakout role was starring as Charles Brandon in The Tudors. But since this was a Showtime show about the reign of King Henry VIII, its fandom was mostly limited to history nerds with a cable subscription. Everyone else fell in love with Cavill a few years later when he starred in Man of Steel, playing Superman in the movie that kickstarted the DCEU.
