7 Best Henry Cavill Roles To Date

8. Honourable Mention - Hellraiser: Hellworld

Well, everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Back in 2005, Henry Cavill, still two years shy of his starring role in The Tudors, would sign on to do what so many actors in Hollywood must while starting out on their career: appear in a low budget, horror sequel.

It is a time-honoured right of passage in the industry it seems, with many, many examples of other well known faces taking up the challenge along the way.

The Hellraiser series of films are one of the gorier and more disturbing franchises, though unfortunately Hellraiser: Hellworld would not be counted as one of the better entries. It was in fact the eighth movie, filmed alongside the ninth simply to assuage certain permissions to film in Romania.

Odds are, by the time you reach Hellworld, you're either on board with the extreme Hellraiser films or you aren't. Therefore, Henry Cavill's star turn here probably won't make too many ripples in the world!

That said, it is one of the more brutal death scenes of Cavill's career so far. He is impaled (Snyder clearly took notes) and then left hanging on a giant hook, dying after a few moments.

Welcome to Cavill's best performances!
