How Henry Cavill Reversed the Perception of Superman’s ‘Failure’ to Regain Audience Trust

Early in his career, Henry Cavill ‘s film works were mostly small films such as Stardust and Hellraiser: Hellworld , but his career began to gain more attention when he played the main role in Man Of Steel.

However, something called the “Superman curse” almost suffocated the actor’s career and turned him into the most obscure element in the DC extended cinematic universe (DCEU). So how did Henry Cavill manage to escape the above curse and become one of the most popular actors at the moment?

The answer is thanks to what he showed when playing August Walker in Mission: Impossible . This is one of Henry Cavill’s best roles to date and immediately raised his popularity to new heights. After becoming a victim of the Justice League with a “million dollar” beard and losing his black superhero suit, the actor had much better luck in other projects. In addition to Mission Impossible , the actor also played the main role in The Witcher and brought the audience a true Geralt , even better than the original.

Henry Cavill’s career did not stop blooming when Zack Snyder ‘s version of Justice League was released and promised to give him what he deserved. Recently, the actor also appeared in the Netflix movie Enola Holmes as the new version of Sherlock Holmes and it must be affirmed that Henry Cavill’s personal brand is very different from a few years ago. The second Man Of Steel movie with the actor’s participation is also currently at the top of the top future DCEU movies most anticipated by fans. 

Henry Cavill’s career is just starting to grow and it will certainly grow even more in the future. The reason he was able to regain the audience’s love is definitely his dedication to his craft and simply choosing the right script. Let’s look forward to his future projects.
