Henry Cavill has built an impressive filmography that blends box office blockbusters with critically acclaimed titles. His notable works include Man of Steel (2013), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), Justice League (2017), Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024), among others.
But before and after donning the cape as Superman, the dashing British actor also starred in a few lesser-known films you might not have heard of — and they currently all have one thing in common: below-average or poor Rotten Tomatoes scores. Read on to discover which films they are, their critics’ ratings, and their streaming platforms.

The enjoyable getaway takes a dark turn when his loved ones are kidnapped by intelligence operatives. As he races against time to retrieve a mysterious briefcase, he uncovers shocking truths about his father (Bruce Willis), who has ties to the CIA.
