It has been 12 years since Henry Cavill first debuted as the Man of Steel but the fans loyal to Zack Snyder and his grimdark vision of the DC universe have still been unable to move past the actor’s version of Superman. Those faithful to Cavill, in the meanwhile, have taken his entire career into account and not only rendered him the best Superman but also one of the best actors working in Hollywood right now.
The recently leaked audition tape of the actor as James Bond has further fanned the flames of mass discord as fans cannot reconcile with the fact that Cavill was twice rejected from the role that he seems to be tailor-made for. The lost 007 role combined with his ill-fated arc as Superman and the much-beloved Witcher has thrown the fans into a spiral of confusion and blame.
Now, the audience seems ready to fight back as social media slaps an egregious label on him that declares that Cavill has overshadowed Tom Cruise himself inMission: Impossible – Fallout.
Henry Cavill gets dragged into yet another controversy
Without meaning to do so,Henry Cavillseems to attract headline-grabbing controversies every other day with every move he makes. Be it his short-lived behind-the-scenes glory as a Bond contender some two decades ago or his radically dark take on Superman underZack Snyder‘s vision, Cavill has always been the media’s favorite pawn to condemn or peddle to the masses.
After hislong-running love-hate relationship with an industrythat has been nothing short of an uphill battle for him, Cavill has finally attained some semblance of stability in his life as he works to bring the miniature tabletop game,Warhammer 40,000to life. With a good few projects in the works, Cavill has been as far away from any controversial material as possible.

However, this does not seem to agree with a few fans who have taken the leaked James Bond audition tape as an opportunity to establish Cavill’s deific reputation in the industry. Not only that, a fan has taken it a step further by pitting him againstTom Cruiseby claiming how his character inMission: Impossible – Falloutmanaged to overshadow the veteran legend himself.
Henry Cavill gets pitted against Tom Cruise
In the mostegregious claimof cinema history, Henry Cavill, the 41-year-old British actor who has had leading roles in a handful of movies in his nascent filmography, seems to be pitted against Tom Cruise, the 62-year-old legend who has been leading films likeAll the Right MovesandRisky Businesssince before Cavill was born.
While Cavill ranked up in popularity by leaning into classical IPs like Superman, The Witcher, and Sherlock Holmes, the 4-times Oscar-nominated Tom Cruise has established himself in the world of cinema with such iconic, jarring, exceptional, and incomparable films likeTop Gun(1986),Born on the Fourth of July(1989),Jerry Maguire(1996),Magnolia(1999),Eyes Wide Shut(1999),Collateral(2004), andEdge of Tomorrow(2014).

Of the inimitable career that Cruise has had, it was theMission: Impossiblefranchise that helped establish the actor as a Hollywood megastar. His daring ability to perform life-threatening stunts may have outshined the indie, arthouse actor that still resides deep under Cruise’s skin. But the blatant argument made in favor of Henry Cavill seeks to diminish not only the actor but his fanbase who seem to have put on the blinders when it comes to Cavill.
