About Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill anchored Zack Snyder's DC Extended Universe as Clark Kent / Superman across Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman (2016), and Justice League (2017 + 2021 Snyder Cut). His Superman tenure spanned the franchise's most-controversial creative period and ended with the James Gunn DCU reset. Cavill's commitment to the character and his off-set advocacy for fans of the Snyder cut made him a uniquely beloved figure in the DC fandom despite the franchise's volatility.
Cavill's Superman run is the longest single-actor tenure in the role since Christopher Reeve. Across Henry Cavill's comic-book filmography catalogued here, the actor has appeared in films spanning 1 different cinematic universe — DCEU.
