Following his incredible and envious career built on superhero projects and fantasy characters, the actor has been considered the next best option for Marvel projects. And just like that, even Cavill expressed his desire to appear in the MCU as Captain Britain.
Considering Captain Britain as one of his favorite comic book characters from his childhood, Henry Cavill had previously expressed his desire to take on that role. And now according to reports from MCU News and Updates on X, the actor has allegedly accepted the role of Captain Britain. Set to appear in a mi6/Excalibur Project, Marvel Studios is yet to officially confirm the news.
Henry Cavill Could Play MCU’s Hercules
Meanwhile, as fans share their excitement surrounding the alleged report of Henry Cavill finally making his way into the MCU, netizens believe there are a few other Marvel superhero characters that Cavill would be perfect for. One such example is the renowned comic book character Hercules. According to reports from different outlets, Cavill has been fan-cast in the role of the mighty hunk who is a part of the Avengers, as per comics.
Based on the mythological character of the same name, the Marvel character Hercules debuted during the Silver Age and he also became a part of the Avengers. Similar to Thor, who was a godly character, even Hercules was the strongest of the Olympian beings. Thus, considering his physicality and persona, fans believe Henry Cavill would be best suited for the role.
Henry Cavill Fan-Cast as Marvel’s Wolverine
The English actor Henry Cavill, who is famous for his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia, has been previously fan-cast in the role of Marvel’s Wolverine. Although the comic book mutant character has been flawlessly delivered by Hugh Jackman for almost two decades, Cavill surprisingly emerged as a favorite choice for the mutant with claws.
Considering his role in The Witcher, which already demonstrated his ability to portray an intense and brooding character, fans believe Cavill would smash records if cast as Wolverine in further MCU projects. Netizens believe his physique and acting prowess would be useful for the X-Men franchise’s fast-paced fight scenes.
Henry Cavill Would Shatter Records as Hyperion
Lastly, according to reports from CBR, Henry Cavill could easily take on the role of Hyperion in MCU. While the comic book character holds immense possibility, since he has been a villain and an Avenger at different times, the role seems perfect for Cavill. Further, given his experience in playing a character from an alternate Earth in DCEU, who joined the team of Justice League, Hyperion, who joins the Avengers, would be an easy take for the actor.
Considering that Hyperion is a notable character in his own right, with multiple incarnations of which many are equivalent to that of DC’s Superman, it’s a no-brainer that the English actor would be suitable for the role. Further, considering its various backstories, the actor would have enough to explore in the MCU.
