Following his surprise cameo as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, rumors have persisted that Cavill will return. Now, this inside scoop suggests that it might be sooner than expected and this time it wouldn’t just be a cameo.
Who Could Henry Cavill Play In The MCU?
Henry Cavill’s cameo as Wolverine marked his first foray into the world of Marvel. While his role was brief, a lot of fans thought he was the perfect fit. So, many called for him to take on the iconic character in a more substantial role. However, this might not be the case as Henry now might play another iconic MCU character.

Many fans had speculated him to play Marvel’s Superman, Sentry, but Lewis Pullman bagged that role. In addition, it is unlikely that The MCU will introduce the remaining two Marvel Superman clones, Hyperion and Gladiator. Thus, fans might see him in a unique role.
Currently, there are a lot of talks about Cavill taking up the role of Captain Britain in the MCU. Cavill perfectly fits in the mold of Brian Braddock and can nail it perfectly. As of now, nothing has been confirmed and all fans can do is speculate which role ex-Superman will play.
Fans React To Henry Cavill’s MCU Rumor
Even before the rumor, MCU fans were speculating about which iconic Marvel character he could play. The suggestions have been as diverse as they are passionate. Some fans believe that Cavill would be the perfect choice to play Cyclops, a founding member of the X-Men with powerful optic blasts.

Additionally, there have even been suggestions that Cavill could play Doctor Doom. While this seems less likely given the recent casting of Robert Downey Jr. in the role, it’s a testament to Cavill’s popularity. Regardless of which character Cavill ultimately plays, his involvement in the MCU is sure to be a major event.
Moreover, before this, Cavill was best known for his portrayal of Superman in the DCEU. However, his time as the Man of Steel came to an abrupt end when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the reins of the DCEU. Cavill’s departure from the DCEU was met with disappointment by many fans.
His exit was seen as a missed opportunity. So, his potential involvement in the MCU represents a new beginning for the actor in the superhero world. Additionally, if Cavill does join the MCU, it remains to be seen which character he will play. While Wolverine is a popular choice, fans have a lot of other roles for the character.
