Having already taken on iconic roles before – Clark Kent aka Superman in the film Man Of Steel, and Geralt Of Rivia, the monster hunter, in the series The Witcher – actor Henry Cavill says he didn’t feel any pressure stepping into another iconic character.

The 37-year-old Englishman assumes the identity of Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix film Enola Holmes, which is based on a series of novels by Nancy Springer.
