With confirmation that Cavill will not be returning as Superman/Clark Kent as part of James Gunn's revamped DCEU, and knowing that Cavill's time as Geralt from The Witcher is finished, the actor is set to bounce back in other major ways this year.

Cavill's Upcoming Film Projects

Cavill has appeared in several major franchises over the last decade, including Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Netflix's Sherlock Holmes spinoff Enola Holmes, and even as an antagonist in 2018's Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which is considered the best film of the series.

Cavill has two major feature films set to release in the first half of 2024 within a few months of each other. The highly stylized spy action thriller Argylle will be released on February 2, 2024, in which Cavill stars alongside Sofia Boutella, Bryce Dallas Howard, and pop artist Dua Lipa. The film will feature many guest appearances from the likes of Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, John Cena, and Ariana DeBose.

Just a few months after Argylle's release, Guy Ritchie's war drama The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will come out on April 19, 2024. The film should certainly draw some major attention after Ritchie's celebrated 2023 war film The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal won over both critics and audiences. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare will follow the true story of a group of specialized covert British operatives fighting against Nazi forces during World War II. Cavill will star alongside Reacher frontman Alan Ritchson.

The Significance of Cavill's Success

If both Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare prove to be critical or box office successes, or both, then it will be clear that Cavill made the right decision in stepping away from his beloved role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher series. Both films look to be incredibly promising, with Argyle set to be a fun genre-blending blockbuster and Ministry's potential to be one of Ritchie's best films. 2024 will be a pivotal, and possibly an incredibly dominating, year in movies for Henry Cavill.
