This week, one of the most shocking news of the year for DC Universe fans was confirmed: Henry Cavill will not continue to play Superman in the DCU. The unexpected departure from the franchise of an actor so beloved in the world of superheroes brought regrets from his fans, but it also made his competition, Marvel, see closer than ever to the possibility of Cavill one day joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After the sudden and near news of Cavill’s farewell to Superman and Geralt of Rivia in “The Witcher”, the actor will have a freer schedule than previously thought, which could open the door to long-term roles in different franchises, something he should have done with Superman. That’s why UCM fans have been sharing their fancasts on social media, meaning their thoughts on which Marvel character would be perfect for Cavill. A name that has been ringing in the networks since long before the DC actor’s departure is that of Captain Britain, a hero with superhuman physical abilities, as well as flight and the ability to project force fields and energy bolts. He is a member of the Captain Britain Corps, a group that fights for good across the multiverse.

Two other of the most featured characters in these fancasts are Hyperion and Sentry. Among the comics, Hyperion is called “Marvel Superman” for their great physical resemblance, their virtually equal powers, and a story that has elements reminiscent of that of Clark Kent. In the case of the Sentry, his powers are also similar but he has a totally different story from the DC hero. The Sentry, real name Robert Reynolds, is a former meth addict who broke into a lab to steal a substance to get high. To his surprise, he consumes a recreation of the super soldier serum with infinitely enhanced effects that have given him great powers. The Sentry suffers from bipolarity, which occasionally causes him to become The Void, a very powerful dark and destructive entity who is the embodiment of all his negative aspects.
Already entering with some of the most popular characters in Marvel history, there are also those who want Cavill to give life to Mr. Fantastic, a member of the important Fantastic 4 group, namely the mutants Wolverine and Cyclops. These three heroes will be the most important faces of the MCU in a few years, so if any of these fancasts come true, Henry Cavill could become one of the main players in the franchise. playing one of the most mythical characters of La Casa de las Ideas.
