Henry Cavill loves to play the bad guy

Actor Henry Cavill will be seen as an antagonist in the forthcoming film "Mission: Impossible Fallout". He says it was fun to explore darker side of his personality.

"I don't think of it as a risky zone. For me, it was once in a lifetime opportunity to play with other parts of my character. I try to put a little bit of me in every character I play or at least draw (something) from me. And it was just an opportunity to enter something different, have a different angle to it and cast a different light on me -- that for me is fun," said the actor, popular as Superman from the Man of Steel franchise.

Cavill, who has big superhero films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League in his resume, loves telling stories. "I don't love telling just one kind of a story. I want to tell multitude stories and this gave me an opportunity to do so."

Mission: Impossible Fallout - a Paramount Pictures film - will be distributed in India by Viacom18 Motion Pictures. It is set to release in India on July 27 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
