In 2020, Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown both appeared in the Netflix original movie Enola Holmes. When two massive stars like Cavill and Brown film a movie together, it's only a matter of time before fans start speculating about their relationship.

So what exactly was the working relationship like between Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown? Here is everything we know.
7 Millie Bobby Brown And Henry Cavill Met While Working On The Film 'Enola Holmes'
Enola Holmes stars Millie Bobby Brown in the title role. As you might have guessed, Enola is the sister of the famed fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who is played in the film by Henry Cavill. Enola is just a teenager, but she wants to be a detective like her older brother. While Enola is the main character of this film, Sherlock still plays an important supporting role.
6 Brown Was Also A Producer For 'Enola Holmes'
Millie Bobby Brown had only just turned fifteen years old when production began on Enola Holmes, but she still served as a producer on the film. She was a big fan of the Enola Holmes books when she was growing up, and reportedly she played a very important role in determining the direction the film would take. While we do not know how involved she was in the casting process, it's possible that she had some input in who her co-star would be. If nothing else, it's clear that Henry Cavill was chosen for his role because of his strong brotherly chemistry with Brown.
5 The Two Actors Have A Lot In Common
Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown are both British citizens working in Hollywood. When they aren't in America, both actors are known to live in London. They both began acting when they were still kids, although Brown's career started much earlier than Cavill's – she landed her first professional acting role when she was just nine years old, while he didn't start acting until after he finished high school. Cavill and Brown have both done a significant amount of work with Netflix, but they're also familiar with blockbuster action franchises. Cavill has starred in several DCEU films as Superman, while Brown plays a lead role in Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse.

There have been some rumors that Brown and Cavill do not get along, but these rumors are entirely unsubstantiated. In an interview with Good Morning America, Brown suggested that she was sometimes jealous of Cavill's professionalism on set and his ability to stop laughing and prepare for the next take, but that hardly amounts to any bad blood. Meanwhile, Cavill has gushed about his time on set with Brown, saying "Millie's a lot like a sister, she is a lot of fun. We had a lot of laughs together."
