So he talked about the filming and how he continued to work between therapy sessions for his leg injury.

The Enola Holmes star did not want to take a break because there was much to be done. He found that working during his recovery was painful and feared that it would end his action career if he pushed himself too hard. “That was my worst moment of the past year — professionally,” added Cavill.

Fans got to watch him in season 3 also doing astounding fight scenes leaving everyone stunned with his fighting style.
