4 Best Movies and TV Shows with Henry Cavill Streaming on Netflix in October 2023
These titles will be a great addition to your perfect autumn binge list.
As the leaves are slowly coming down, it's the ideal time to get cozy on the sofa with a warm cup of cocoa and binge on some great films and series. And if you are a fan of Henry Cavill, his movies and TV shows are just perfect for it. Here's a list of Cavill's gigs you can catch on Netflix.
Enola Holmes (2020)
The charm of a good old detective story. But Enola Holmes is not just another Sherlock tale. It’s a fresh spin where Enola (Sherlock's teen sister), played by Millie Bobby Brown, takes the lead while Henry Cavill steps into the polished shoes of Sherlock Holmes.
Although the spotlight is on Enola, Cavill’s Sherlock is a delightful addition to the movie. His Sherlock is a blend of a sharp-witted and athletic sleuth who subtly aids his sister while portraying a warm sibling bond.
Sand Castle (2017)
This Netflix drama from 2017 escorts us through the Second Gulf War’s brutal reality, as seen through the eyes of a young US marine. Henry Cavill, playing Captain Syverson, emerges as a resilient ally in the arduous mission of constructing a well in a quaint Iraqi village.
While Sand Castle isn’t showered with roses, it’s a pivot for Cavill, portraying a role set far from his customary heroic personas.
The Witcher ( 2019-2023)
Cavill was born to play the White Wolf aka Geralt of Rivia. The series, in its lauded second season, really takes a leap with Cavill's Geralt evolving into a mentor and fatherly figure to Ciri (Freya Allan). By season 3, the bond deepens, mirroring the narrative from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels.
The show isn’t without flaws, and its 80% Tomatometer score partly owes it to Henry, and while it’s a heartstring tug to see Cavill bid adieu to the series, his portrayal of the monster hunter will be remembered forever.
Enola Holmes 2 (2022)
Back to the Holmes’ English countryside, but this time with a sprinkle more of Sherlock in Enola Holmes 2. While Millie Bobby Brown continues to enchant as Enola, Cavill’s Sherlock is fleshed out further, shining brighter with a side plot that teases the entrance of the nefarious Moriarty.
The sibling camaraderie between Sherlock and Enola is the heart of the story, replacing the typical Holmes-Watson rapport with a refreshing sibling banter.
