Henry Cavill is without a doubt one of the most discussed names in the world. The actor, who has just announced his comeback as Superman in the DCU, was shown the door as soon as James Gunn and Peter Safran took over. This created a worldwide uproar and the buzz was massive. What followed were tonnes of rumours, some of which said that the actor was in discussion to play multiple Marvel characters throughout the past year. Some said he was Captain Britain; some even went on to cast him as the iconic villain Doctor Doom.

Henry Cavill Says Yes To Marvel?

However, the latest report now says that we are finally about to hear a massive update from the studio, as Henry Cavill has said yes and has been locked to play a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But as massive as this update is, the confusion is equally massive. The report that is surfacing on the internet does not point to a certain character that the Superman alumni will be playing in the MCU. So different scoopers have different perspectives. But what is making them excited is the very fact that their legitimate thirst trap is making his MCU debut.

The Confusion

It all began a few hours ago when an X (formerly called Twitter) user on their handle wrote, “From the greatest superhero Superman, to our greatest Marvel villain Doctor Doom…Henry Cavill.” This reached a popular scooper who has been breaking some very legit updates about the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a while. The one who goes by the handle My Time To Shine Hello in reply to that post, "He was offered something else and he accepted.”

This was enough for fans to go crazy, as the entire fandom went berserk after this post and was curious to know what character it was. The scooper said nothing more about the same and only gave it back to the ones saying they were lying. However, soon another scooper, Comic Book Punk, revealed that Henry is playing Captain Britain in the MCU and will be seen in an Excalibur project.

“Henry Cavill is rumored to have accepted the role of Captain Britain in the MCU and will star in an MI6/ Excalibur Project! Henry Cavill stated a few years ago if he joined Marvel the only role he would play is Captain Britain!” wrote Comic Book Punk on Twitter.

While all of this confusion exists already, now even the fans have begun guessing what the actor will be seen as. Some say it’s Nova; some even feel it is Galactus; and one tweet pointed at Hyperion. However, there is a possibility that the actor might just end up playing something completely different and we might be up for a surprise.

But it is high time Cavill chose an IP that brings him back to his A game because Argylle has certainly not worked in his favor. The actor made his debut in the world of superheroes with Man Of Steel where he played Superman for the DCEU. He went on to play the part in multiple movies and even made a comeback in the post-credit scene of Black Adam. But a return was never meant to be and he had to say goodbye to the mantle.

Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else in the world of streaming and films.
