It’s so true to life that wisdom comes from all places, and it’s really important to keep your ears and your heart open.” I’m both an older sibling and a younger sibling. It’s not always the older sibling who’s giving me advice. “I think that’s a wonderful message to impart, especially to people out there, that it’s not always the older sibling who’s the wise one. And she is the catalyst for his growth,” he tells Tudum. “In this movie, we have Enola being the wise one, Enola being the one who teaches him all the lessons. And so, Sherlock turns up, and he’s the guy with the wisdom,” he says.īut with Enola living and working on her own nearby in Victorian London, the second film offers a role reversal for the duo, which intrigued Cavill. “In the first movie, you have an Enola who is bombastic and eccentric and raised by such a mischievous, wicked mother. ![]() Cavill explains how in the first film, Sherlock acts as a catalyst for Enola’s growth and in turn, she helps him gain some of that perspective.
