Henry Cavill packs plenty of punch, whether he’s rocking Victorian attire, fantasy armor, or one iconic red cape.
The British actor’s two-fisted take on Sherlock Holmes returns in the period sequel “Enola Holmes 2” (streaming on Netflix Friday), in which the detective teams up with his younger sister (Millie Bobby Brown), who’s also quite the sleuth. In the first film, released in 2020, Sherlock was a guide to Enola, Cavill says. The roles are reversed in the new adventure: “He starts in a difficult place, so she helps him out of it.”
But there’s another Cavill character that has movie fandom psyched: After a cameo in the superhero film “Black Adam,” he’s back as Superman for future DC movies. And before that, Cavill stars as the title superspy of Apple TV+’s globetrotting thriller “Argylle” (out next year) and plays monster hunter Geralt of Rivia for one last go-round in the upcoming third season of Netflix’s “The Witcher” (before Liam Hemsworth takes over the role).
