Henry Cavill began his superhero journey with DC in 2013 when he played Superman in the film Man of Steel.
He went on to reprise the role in a couple more films, but fans generally felt his fantastic performance was underrated and underutilized in the DC Universe. He continued to surprise fans by playing a variant of Wolverine in this summer’s blockbuster, Deadpool and Wolverinewhich was a lot of fun, but if the rumors are true, we can prepare to see Cavill step into a full-time Marvel role soon.
According to industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH (via CBM), “Henry Cavill [is] in talks for a full role in the MCU.”
They don’t explain what it could be, although there are many possibilities.
It could be a character we haven’t considered. Wolverine is still a possibility, or Captain Britain could finally make his MCU debut courtesy of Mission: Impossible – Fallout star. We’ll see if this pans out, but Cavill getting a second chance in the MCU is an undeniably exciting prospect.
Rumors have persisted for years that Cavill might be joining the MCU. The actor also commented on some pretty wild claims he would appear in Loki season 2 (as Hyperion) shortly after returning to the role of Superman in late 2022.
“As far as I know, I won’t be there Loki,” he confirmed at the time. “It would be difficult to handle at this stage… if James Gunn can do it, maybe I can do it too.” Since then, Gunn has fired Cavill from the role of DC’s Man of Tomorrow, replacing him with David Corenswet in the next one Superman.
If we go even further back into the archives, in 2021, when The witcher had mostly left Superman behind, Cavill revealed the specific Marvel character he would be available to play, saying:
“I will never say a Marvel character that is already played by someone else because everyone is doing a fantastic job. However, I have the Internet and I have seen the various rumors about Captain Britain.
“It would be a lot of fun to make a nice, modernized version of it, like they modernized Captain America. There’s something fun about it, and I love being British.”
He would be amazing in that role! This seems like a perfect fit and a no-brainer, but they could always throw a curve ball and put him in another role where he would do just as well. Cavill is an amazing actor, and I know he would be a great asset to the MCU!
