He is known as the Man of Steel, but now he is also The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Jersey's homegrown superhero, Henry Cavill, is now returning to the big screen for a very different role.

He's playing smooth-talking CIA agent Napoleon, in Guy Ritchie's reboot of the classic 60s TV, The Man From Uncle.

David Beckham makes a cameo in the movie but Henry admits he was gutted their filming schedules didn't coincide, "I completely missed seeing him. I'd love to meet him and see what he's like in person as he is a national treasure."

Henry on his new movie

Having launched onto the world stage back in 2013 as Superman in the Man of Steel, Henry has well and truly secured his place among the Hollywood A list. Though for the Jerseyman it's about more than the glitz and glamour of L.A.
