Henry Cavill found worldwide fame when he picked up the red cape and portrayed the role of Superman in the 2013 Zack Snyder film Man of Steel. The world simply fell in love with him.
Glen Powell starred alongside Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in the iconic 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick when he portrayed the character of Lt. Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin and his fame skyrocketed. However, when it comes to choosing between the two actors, fans are at an impasse.
Fans of Glen Powell And Henry Cavill Are At War
The war puns are here because of Henry Cavill’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. But, this time, fans of Henry Cavill and Glen Powell are in a disagreement and the role is about an MCU superhero!
With the world finding out how great Cyclops is in the MCU show X-Men ’97, there were talks about who would portray the character in a live-action film (if the opportunity came).
Taking to their social media accounts on X, fans talked about how Henry Cavill or Glen Powell would be suited to the role. During their discussion, fans reached an impasse.
And here’s a little surprise for you.
Although we cannot say for sure which actor is going to portray the role of Cyclops (if the character is going to be in a live-action) fans are pretty excited about the character.
As the fans wage war (on social media) it seems that actors often notice these things. Henry Cavill, who portrayed Superman, talked about the darker moments he had while portraying the role.
Henry Cavill Had His Fair Share of Difficulties
When he was cast as Superman in the 2013 film, the world was a little bit skeptical. Although the film received average ratings, Cavill became world-famous as Superman after Man of Steel.
Reprising his role, the actor appeared in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Black Adam before his departure from the franchise.
In an interview with The Guardian, Cavill talked about the difficulties he had while he was portraying the role of Clark Kent. The actor revealed that people aren’t always so nice on the internet.
You have your dark moments when you go on the internet forums. (Further) You’re peeking behind the curtain.
He further continued,
You wonder, ‘What are people saying about me? Oh, that’s nice. Oh, how lovely.’ But then you find one that isn’t.
However, the actor kept moving forward and he is regarded as one of the best Superman portrayals of all time in Hollywood. On the other hand, Glen Powell has also gained quite a lot of recognition after Top Gun: Maverick.
Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel received a rating of 7.1/10 on IMDB and an average of 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. The iconic film is available to stream on Max in the U.S.
