Cavill is no stranger to Hollywood, getting his start with small parts in the likes of Tristan + Isolde and Stardust, before taking on leading-man roles in Woody Allen's Whatever Works and Immortals. But, this British actor really made a name for himself playing the best friend of King Henry VIII in Showtime's Tudors. Next, he's set to star as the one and only Superman, Clark Kent, in Man of Steel out next year.
Guy Ritchie‘s spy adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. has been scheduled for release the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day next year, Warner Bros. said on Thursday. It will hit theaters on Jan. 16, 2015.
The film, which stars Man of Steel‘s Henry Cavill and The Lone Ranger‘s Armie Hammer as special agents working to track down evildoers, is based on the 1960s television series.

The film, in which Smith portrays a con man, is directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.
