The franchise continued with the film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", in which Clark died. But he was resurrected – in the adaptation of the comic book "Justice League". The main advantages of these large – scale films are visual effects.

Although the image of the dashing "007" still remains Cavill's dream, two other special services employees appear in his film biography. This is Napoleon Solo from the retro film "Agents of A. N. K. 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.

Netflix executives do not regret the choice: the Englishman coped with the load.
Photos from the film sets leaked to the Internet and delighted fans. Physical training was serious, Henry was engaged with a coach and stuntmen. 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.
Cavill was included in the lists of "Well-dressed British male celebrities" and "Sexy movie Stars". Henry is a fan of the state football team "The Kansas City Chiefs" and goes to rugby matches in his hometown.
The engagement with show jumper Ellen Whittaker in 2010 did not end with a wedding, and the romance with American star Kelly Cuoco in 2013 was fleeting. Henry is still single. And shares a house in London's South Kensington with an American Akita dog, Cal.
