L." by Guy Ritchie, where Alicia Vikander and Armie Hammer starred. And August Walker from the sixth part of the cult film series, "Mission Impossible: Consequences".
An unwitting ally of Tom Cruise's character sports a bushy mustache. A curious thing is connected with them. Superman shaves smoothly, and the hair on the actor's face was removed using computer graphics. Cavill did not want to part with the carefully grown mustache for the role of Gus, and the periods of filming "Justice League" and the action movie coincided.

In addition, he is not a miss himself: he is fond of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Netflix posted season 1 of the series on December 20, 2019, so that subscribers can watch it online.
The continuation of"The Witcher" (The Witcher) is planned to be shown in 2021. The mutant will return-along with Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Cirilla (Freya Allan).
Meanwhile, Netflix released the detective story "Enola Holmes". The title character was played by Millie Bobby Brown from "Very Strange Cases", and her older brothers are Cavill (Sherlock) and Sam Claflin (Mycroft). The mother of three brilliant "kids" was Helena Bonham-Carter.
