Although the show itself is more controversial, everyone will be attracted by the actor of the play, Geralt, who is called "Big Super" Henry Cavill is so charming.
No wonder some people say that just looking at Henry Cavill's face is five stars.

The story is about a solitary demon hunter named Geralt who strives to find his place in a world where humans are more evil than beasts, but fate pushes him towards a powerful warlock, and a young princess who hides dangerous secrets...
When "Demon Hunter" was just being filmed, the British actor Henry Cavill, who played Superman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), fell in love with the role of Geralt.
Henry Cavill offered himself to Lauren Schmidt Heathridge, the screenwriter of Demon Hunter, but the script was not yet finished, and Lauren rejected Henry with a responsible mentality.

At the same time, he also has a "standard" face of righteousness, such an image, but also let him from an early age began to contact a variety of "decent" roles.
Henry was born in Jersey and was the fourth eldest of five children. His mother was a bank worker and his father was a stockbroker, so the family didn't have time to take care of him, so he went to boarding school.
In the boarding school, he became the "male number one" of the school theater troupe, and he starred in many stage plays in the school. It was also the germ of his talent for performing arts.
In 2001, at the age of 18, Henry was given the role of Albert Mondego, the son of Mercedes in The New Count of Monte Cristo, and he was favored as a young man, quickly appearing in various films.

For the fourth time, he failed again in his bid for the role of Harry Potter 4 Triwizard player Cedric Diggo...
Although he starred in joe Schumacher's thriller "Creek of Vengeance", Tasim Sime's magical blockbuster "God of War", and Mabrouk ElMech's suspense action film "Cold Daylight", none of these scenes made him well known to the public and did not show any sense of existence.
God of War
It wasn't until 2011 that Henry finally won the role of Superman in Superman: Man of Steel, and like Superman in the red cape in the show, he finally began to fly against the wind in the real world.
His tough, handsome appearance and strong figure allow him to attract both the eyes of girls and a great sense of strength, while capturing the aesthetics of men.

This seemed to be another bottleneck for him, but Henry was clearly not satisfied with it.
In 2018, "Mission Impossible 6" was released, in which he played the villain Walker, the wonderful fight was eye-opening, and he and Ethan Hunter, played by Atangge, staged a cliff duel, which was also very impressive.
Not limited to the role of "Superman", which is certainly one of the important reasons why Henry starred in "Demon Hunter".
