Henry Cavill is just getting started. Fans were worried about the British superstar when he stepped down from two iconic roles. But soon after that, the actor made it clear he would always have bigger opportunities than the last gig. He found a new home in the spy genre with Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Based on a real-life story, this film will take viewers to British WWII, where a secret organization gave birth to modern black operations. 

Just when fans thought nothing better could happen, the former Superman landed another movie with the legendary filmmaker.

Henry Cavill might not play Superman or Geralt again, but fans will certainly get to watch him in spy films decked up in cool suits. Argylle directed by Matthew Vaughn has taken the attention of viewers for some time now. The trailer sparked excitement among enthusiasts, teasing the epic action scenes and the dapper cop look of the actor. Though the majority of fans disliked his hairstyle, the creator cleared that he made this film to destroy James Bond tropes.

Further, the trailer is not even close to what the movie will be all about as per Vaughn. But as far as fans need to know, they will watch Cavill as a spy, be it imaginary or real. The Stardust star will share the screen with singer-turned-actress Dua Lipa in what was supposed to be her acting debut. Other cast members include Bryce Dallas Howard, Elly Conway, Sam Rockwell, and Bryan Cranston.
