Henry Cavill has been playing Superman for nearly a decade now. He first played the iconic superhero in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, which received positive reviews from critics and was a massive commercial success. Cavill's performance in the lead role propelled him to worldwide fame, and soon he became instantly associated with the character.

Later, Cavill reprised the role in Snyder's sequel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, alongside Ben Affleck, who played Batman. The film, however, wasn't a massive box-office or critical hit. Cavill played the character again in Josh Whedon's version of Snyder's Justice League, followed by Zack Snyder's Justice League in 2021.

Aside from Superman, Cavill has played many roles in numerous films and shows, including The Tudors, The Witcher, Enola Holmes, and many more.
