The former DC star, Henry Cavill, has become one of the most demanded actors in the Hollywood industry. The actor has proved his mettle in acting with his iconic role as Superman in Zack Synder’s films and has also established himself in the television sector with shows like The Witcher. However, the star has bid adieu to both these franchises and set forth on his new journey with exciting new projects.
