Henry Cavill cemented his name in the action genre when he took on the role of one of DC’s most prominent superheroes and became the symbol of strength, hope, and justice personified. However, Cavill’s action star potential is not restricted to larger-than-life superhero movies but also sweeps into the action genre that thrives on the personality of spies, hitmen, and in the case of renowned Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, an agent.

A personal milestone in the Superman actor’s career was when he worked with his inspiration, Tom Cruise. While they worked together in 2018, and are pioneers of the action genre, Cavill and James Bond have some remarkable differences.

Cavill, despite being a superstar himself, often dwells on his experiences of meeting other superstars. And a name that he takes with utmost admiration is his Mission: Impossible – Fallout costar Tom Cruise. While he puts him on a pedestal, he might not completely agree with his spending choices. We say this because of the actor’s revelation on The Graham Norton Show in 2018, where he revealed that he splurged and bought himself a $300,000 Aston Martin DBS that featured in James Bond. A stark contrast to Cruise’s humble revelation of paying off his sister’s educational debts with his first big cheque.

While the contrasting answers may have made Cavill look snobbish, the actor is far from it. For fans who know Henry Cavill and his borderline obsession with video games, comics, superheroes, and evidently James Bond, it goes on to show that Cavill is a classic geek.
