Hollywood star Henry Cavill on Thursday announced he will not be returning as Superman in the upcoming DC films.
Here are five points on the Hollywood actor:
Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill was born on May 5, 1983, on the Bailiwick of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, between England and France, according to IMDb. His father was a stockbroker and mother a homemaker. Cavill's interest in acting started at an early age, IMDb said.
He kicked off his big screen career with a role in 2002's The Count Of Monte Cristo and appeared in a number of television series. But Cavill's big break came in 2013, when he debuted as the next Superman in 'Man of Steel'.
Cavill was once called the "most unlucky man in Hollywood" after losing out on the role of Batman to Christian Bale, James Bond to Daniel Craig and Superman to Brandon Routh, reported Hello Magazine.
He reprised the caped superhero in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, 2017's Justice League and lately in Zack Synder's 2021 Justice League.
Apart from his role as Superman, Henry Cavill also became fan favourite for his role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix' The Witcher. However, Cavill left the show after finishing the third season. He is also known for his performances in movies like Mission Impossible: Fallout, Stardust, Immortals and The Cold Light of Day.
