Henry Cavill packs plenty of punch, whether he’s rocking Victorian attire, fantasy armour or an iconic red cape.

The British actor’s two-fisted take on Sherlock Holmes returns in the period sequel Enola Holmes 2 (now streaming on Netflix), in which the detective teams up with his younger sister (Millie Bobby Brown), who’s also quite the sleuth.

In the first film, released in 2020, Sherlock was a guide to Enola, Cavill says. The roles are reversed in the new adventure: “He starts in a difficult place, so she helps him out of it.”

But there’s another Cavill character that has movie fandom psyched: after a cameo in the superhero film Black Adam, he’s back as Superman for future DC films.
