During their appearance on Good Morning America, Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill brought their signature charm and chemistry to the stage as they discussed their return in Enola Holmes 2. The two actors, who portray the iconic Holmes siblings—Enola and Sherlock—opened up about their experiences filming the sequel, the growth of their characters, and how their own personalities influence their performances.

Henry Cavill on the Return of Superman and Sherlock Holmes
Before diving into Enola Holmes 2, host Robin Roberts asked Henry Cavill about another exciting development—his return as Superman. The British actor lit up when discussing the role, describing it as “a huge part of my career.” Cavill reminisced about being 29 or 30, hanging over a cornfield in Illinois while filming Man of Steel, and realizing what moviemaking truly meant to him.

“To be able to return to that character after 12 years is incredibly exciting,” Cavill said. “He represents the best of human potential. It’s an honor to step into that role again.”

Millie Bobby Brown on Saying Goodbye to ‘Stranger Things’
Shifting the conversation, attention turned to Millie Bobby Brown and her upcoming farewell to Stranger Things. Having played Eleven for eight years since the age of 10, Brown expressed how emotional the ending will be.

“It’s been half my life. It’s like my high school, really. I grew up on that set with the cast and crew—like my school friends,” she said. “It’ll be hard to say goodbye, but I’ll never not see them again. Netflix will definitely keep it alive as long as possible.”

Sibling Dynamics in ‘Enola Holmes 2’
When asked what it’s like to play siblings, Cavill—who comes from a family of five boys—laughed and said working with Millie feels quite natural. “I’m used to the noise and teasing. That’s pretty much Millie,” he said playfully.

Brown chimed in, noting that Enola is far from a stereotypical younger sister. “Enola’s not overly feminine. She’s bold, she’s messy, she’s real,” Millie said. “That masculine energy within her is what people resonate with. She owns it.”

Bringing Themselves into the Roles
The conversation turned introspective as the duo discussed how much of their real selves they bring into their characters. For Millie, Enola is deeply personal.

“I use most of who I am within her. I deflect with humor in real life, and Enola does that too. Our director would tell me, ‘Millie, that’s too much of you, draw the line!’” she recalled. “But showing her flaws is important. It’s authentic, and I embrace that.”

Rapid Fire: Holmes Sibling Showdown
The interview wrapped up with a lighthearted rapid-fire Q&A. Here’s what we learned:

Who’s better at solving real-life mysteries?
Brown believed Cavill would be more methodical and persistent, while she’d go off on her own quirky path.
Who’s the troublemaker?
Without hesitation, Millie confessed, “Oh yeah, me.” Cavill, ever the calm presence, was dubbed the favorite on set.
Who spends more time on set during downtime?
“Henry never leaves set,” Millie laughed. “I’d come on set and he’d already be there looking through a magnifying glass.”
Cavill explained he likes to stay in the zone, whereas Millie prefers to recharge in her trailer between takes.

Streaming Now on Netflix
The chemistry between Cavill and Brown is just as vibrant off-screen as it is on. Their camaraderie and mutual respect shine through, adding a heartfelt layer to their portrayal of the famous Holmes duo.
