Prospects are high for Henry Cavill to be the next James Bond and we are ready to ride along. His track list of action-oriented films is nothing short of spectacular. He settles in the role just as it is and delivers a performance that leaves audience clinging for follow ups.
In his latest front-led dramas ‘The Witcher’, Cavill takes on the role of a monster hunter trying to navigate his way among humans camped in the act of wickedness and brutality. The series first aired in 2019 and has returned this weekend with a second season packed with thrilling adventures and delight.
Some of Cavill’s most watchable performances are stored in the archives of the best Hollywood superhero flicks. He wears his cape well as Superman in ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and transitions as the light-hearted big brother to Millie Bobby Brown in the mystery/adventure film ‘Enola Holmes’.
For the purpose of choosing Cavill all weekend for our indoor screen time, we have assembled together five of his works including the second season of ‘The Witcher’ for our watch list this week.
