5 Iconic MCU Characters Fans Say Are Tailor-Made for Henry Cavill Amidst Full-Time Rumors

Henry Cavill, despite the undeniable splendor of his cheekbones and the glory of his broad-shouldered existence, has spent his Hollywood career collecting thorns in place of roses. From failing to sink his teeth into Twilight to being both too young and then too old to order a martini in Bond’s tuxedo, Cavill has been Hollywood’s perennial ‘almost.’ But the wound that still stings hardest is the one left by his abrupt exit as Superman, a role that suited him so well it’s hard to believe it wasn’t tailored directly onto those muscles, leading his loyal and loud, fans to demand his Marvel entry.

Owing to Ryan Reynolds and his inability to miss out on an opportunity to crack a meta-joke shading DC, Henry Cavill has finally made his segway into Marvel. Now that Cavill he has, fans have wasted no time in feverishly narrowing down the characters that might suit him like one of his impeccably tailored globes.

MCU characters that Henry Cavill can fit like a glove

Given the dedication that shines from his eyes, Henry Cavill is a seasoned actor who stands in the league that could make even a dull character shine. However, his chameleon like abilities, although allow him to fit any shoe, they can never fit the glass slippers, leading to Cavill almost always falling on his back. Tired of the injustice and waste of potential, fans have hunted down from the MCU, characters that Cavill must play.

Henry Cavill as Wolverine

With the iron still hot from his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, Henry Cavill should, without a second thought, sink his claws into a more permanent role before Hollywood changes its ever-fickle mind. After all, with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine ready to retire his adamantium for good, now is the perfect time for Cavill to step in and claim the spotlight.

He has already proven through his performance as Geralt that rough exteriors and brooding intensity suit him as perfectly as his well-tailored capes. Frankly, if there’s a time for Cavill to swap swords for claws, it is now before Marvel finds someone else’s jawline to immortalize.

Cyclops

Cyclops, founding member of the X-Men, has spent far too long in the cinematic shadows, criminally underutilized while other mutants hog the limelight. Yet his grip on comic book lore has never faltered, and fans are adamant for Henry Cavill to take on this role. It is the switch both the actor and the role desperately need.

Cavill, who has been waiting for a role worthy of his stature since shedding his Superman cape, might finally find his match in the laser-eyed mutant, a forgotten hero who deserves a leading man’s revival. If ever there were a perfect pairing, it is Cavill and Cyclops, both too powerful to be left in the background any longer.

Henry Cavill as Sinister

Henry Cavill, cursed by Hollywood to be endlessly typecast as the handsome hero, may at last find salvation in a villain as perfectly sinister as his cheekbones. Fans, ever the casting geniuses, have unearthed the ideal role: Mister Sinister, the world’s top geneticist with a flair for the diabolical.

Cavill’s nerdy roots, British brilliance, and chiseled features would blend seamlessly with the character’s cold menace, adding an extra layer of dread behind every syllable of that crisp accent. It seems, for once, beauty and brains have met their villainous match, and this time, no one is complaining.

Can Henry Cavill be Captain Britain?

With his chiseled physique and a voice that practically hums with noble authority, Cavill could step into the role as if it had been waiting for him all along. One can hardly imagine anyone else donning the Union Jack quite so convincingly. After all, who better to defend the realm than a man who seems like he could single-handedly carry it on his back? In Cavill, Marvel would find not only a perfect fit for the cape and shield, but a character who might just make patriotism look fashionable again.

The Beyonder

A being of immeasurable power consisting of everything beyond the Multiverse, an MCU character with a stature that could single-handedly resurrect Henry Cavill’s career effectively squashing the tragic tales of lost roles. Moreover, owing to his love for causing chaos, the character would allow fans to witness a new side to the British actor, who is more often than not playing the goody two shoes hero. 

With a physique carved from marble and a gaze that suggests he has already seen every universe, Cavill could play a cosmic being who manipulates reality with the same ease he handles fan adoration.
