Actor Henry Cavill will be seen as an antagonist in the forthcoming film Mission: Impossible Fallout. He says it was fun to explore the darker side of his personality. “I don’t think of it as a risky zone. For me, it was once in a lifetime opportunity to play with other parts of my character,” Cavill told IANS.

“I try to put a little bit of me in every character I play or at least draw (something) from me. And it was just an opportunity to enter something different, have a different angle to it and cast a different light on me — that for me is fun,” added the actor, popular as Superman from the Man of Steel franchise.
