In a recent interview with Yahoo, Sam Claflin spoke about how he felt playing the big brother to DCEU’s Superman Henry Cavill and Stranger Thing’s Eleven, Millie Bobby Brown. He said that he somewhat felt ashamed to be cast as Cavill’s older brother and called him a very handsome man. Claflin stated that it was amazing for him to be working with somebody at the peak of their career. The actor mentioned that having Superman and Eleven as his younger siblings made him feel “slightly inferior,” so that added to the flavour of his character.

Sam Claflin said that he and Henry Cavill have nearly crossed paths a few times and came close to working together for once or twice before Enola Holmes. He stated that when an individual knows of someone and have mutual friends with them, it feels like they are already friends and family before even things get going. The actor asserted that he had never worked with anybody who knew Millie Bobby Brown, so it was a pleasant surprise for him watching somebody who he has seen on television, but heard nothing much about as a person. Claflin mentioned that seeing Brown was just amazing. He noted that she is amazing to work with and as a producer, she is just a “boundless ball” of energy. “She’s just incredible,” he concluded.
