Despite his major success within Marvel, he successfully enriched his career with roles across diverse genres.
He appeared in films such as Steven Spielberg's "War Horse," Guillermo del Toro's gothic romance film "Crimson Peak," and the box office record-breaker "Kong: Skull Island."
On television, he received widespread praise for his role as secret agent Jonathan Pine in the 2016 miniseries "The Night Manager," earning him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
