Henry Cavill, best known for playing Clark Kent/Superman in the DC Extended Universe (2013–2023), is pictured as Captain Britain in stunning Marvel Cinematic Universe fan art.
Fans of Marvel Comics and superheroes have always valued the creative interpretation of art. In particular, fan art stimulates the imagination and considers possibilities outside of what we see on the big screen. Even though the MCU has showcased a wealth of talent over the years, fans would still like to see a few celebrities join in on the fun.
As an example, consider the Marvel fan art that made The Witcher star into Captain Britain. But it does not end there. In the meantime, another Marvel fan art casts Ultron, Doctor Doom, and Kang the Conqueror as the antagonists of the upcoming much-awaited Avengers: Secret Wars crossover.
