Will Henry Cavill wear the Superman cape again? The actor who made his breakthrough role as Kent Clark in the DC movie reprised his role several times thereafter. The role also paved the way for new opportunities for the British star. Today, we know the actor is returning as the Man of Steel, but it wasn’t always the case and so Cavill refrained from talking about the same in interviews.

Cavill is still at the peak of his career, exploring further into fantasy films and mastering the genre. But regardless of the roles he does, for fans, he will always be the man in a red and blue suit, out to save the world. So even when he got the opportunity to speak in his British accent for Enola Holmes, there were questions about his DC movies, which the actor slyly managed to avoid.
