Henry Cavill once revealed a shared experience from portraying Sherlock Holmes and Superman that caused an unexpected struggle.

When Henry Cavill Confessed a Similarity Between His ‘Man of Steel’ and ‘Enola Holmes’ Roles

Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] soared to fame with
his iconic portrayal of DC’s Superman in Man of Steel by bringing unparalleled
strength and vulnerability to the character. Beyond the cape, he also showcased
his versatility in the riveting role of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] in 2019. Then, he seamlessly
transitioned into the enigmatic world of Sherlock Holmes, unraveling mysteries
with a contemporary flair in Enola Holmes alongside Millie Bobby Brown

One thing that remained consistent throughout his illustrious career was his
impressive physique. Well, this very factor also hindered him while portraying
two of his most notable characters.


HENRY CAVILL COMPARED THIS ASPECT OF HIS SUPERMAN AND SHERLOCK HOLMES PARTS

In an interview with Collider from 2020, Cavill spoke about the Victorian suit
he donned in Enola Holmes to achieve his character’s debonair charm. In
particular his experience of “packing all the muscles” into the detective’s
suit. Well, the 40-year-old revealed that in a way it was no different from when
he had to “squeeze into” his “extremely tight blue suit” for Superman!



In the past, he has also spoken of his inability to pee while filming Man of
Steel
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-was-henry-cavill-able-to-pee-in-the-man-of-steel-superman-suit/]
due to the absence of a zipper on his snugly-fitted superhero garbs. It seems
like that struggle followed him to the sets of Enola Holmes. Apparently, the
costume designer struggled to fit his large physique into a three-piece vintage
suit. Regardless, he remarked that fitting into the Sherlock Holmes costume was
easier than Superman’s.

Even so, the British actor loved wearing his Superman outfit judging by what he
said a couple of years ago. 


DESPITE A MISSING PIECE, CAVILL LOVED HIS SUPERMAN COSTUME

Unlike the original costume from the comic books, Cavill’s Man of Steel fit was
missing the iconic red underwear. When he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen
Colbert in 2021, he was questioned about his thoughts on this. Well, Cavill
remarked that he “really loved” his “cool” suit. That said he shared that he
would have been “open to the idea” in a future DC project. 



Well, Cavill was okay with the underpants being added in “some way, shape, or
form”. So, Colbert even joked about the possibility of a “tasteful thong” being
added to the attire. However, none of this ever materialized. When the Argylle
actor returned to his superhero part in Black Adam, the red underpants were
still missing from the ensemble.
