8 Roles Henry Cavill Could Play In The MCU After His Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo
Henry Cavill's departure from Superman creates exciting opportunities for his talent to shine in the MCU with iconic roles like Wolverine and Mister Sinister.
Henry Cavill, who has stepped down from Superman due to a DCEU shakeup, is now a potential candidate for Marvel Studios. Despite his talent and star power, the MCU's multiverse offers infinite possibilities for Cavill. the MCU's multiverse opens a doorway into a world of endless possibility and unending roles for Henry Cavill to play. After all, this is Superman, and if he's ever to jump ship to Marvel, he needs someone truly iconic, which Shawn Levy's Deadpool & Wolverine seems to be.
Here are 8 roles Henry Cavill could play in the MCU.
1. Captain Britain
Henry Cavill might be wrong for Captain America, but he can well portray Captain Britain in MCU. Captain Britain is this brave leader who needs an iconic character that can make him as iconic onscreen as he is on the Marvel pages, and Cavill fits into the bill perfectly for this role. Meanwhile, his responsibility towards Britain and the Omniverse could lead to all manner of stories. The introduction of the Captain Britain could introduce heroes, bringing a new age into the MCU.

2. The Beyonder
The largest movie the MCU has in store is named Secret Wars, coming in 2027 and fans speculate about the Beyonder, a strong character to be allowed by those who haven't been confirmed yet to experience the Marvel Universe. The Beyonder is the infamous Beyonders race's member. Childlike and tremendously powerful, he was raised in a pocket universe created by the other Beyonders for their children. Unbeknownst to him, he had not encountered other Beyonders, and his personal universe was actually all there was, to his understanding. Still being a child, the elder Beyonders began their enormous experiment where they recreated Owen Reece into the "Molecule Man"; this "accident" punched a hole into the Beyonder's universe. It would be really nice to see Henry Cavill carrying this responsibility to lead a new era in the MCU.
3. Mister Sinister
Mister Sinister is a greatly unnamed villain in X-Men but has grown into a comic book favorite due to his deep interest in Mutants, wanting to use their genetic material to create the most potent species in the face of the Earth. Henry Cavill could play Sinister since he would be a more loyal foe to the X-Men and Mutantkind. Following the genetic alterations done by Apocalypse, Sinister possesses a wide array of powers. Over the years, Sinister has used the genetic material of other mutants to grant himself further a vast array of powers. As the Mutant Saga kicks off in the MCU, villains such as Sinister may pose a challenge for the new X-Men.
4. Hyperion
Marvel Studios masterminds Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena reinvented the character of Hyperion, a taciturn, confident, and powerful Eternal from another reality. Boasting almost boundless abilities, much like that of Superman, Hyperion is a very top-tier meta, casting for Henry Cavill-the strongest option so far after Superman. Cavill as Hyperion would fit quite well in Avengers: Secret Wars, and he can do a seamless turn from the red cape to the yellow one, so that is a pretty interesting and deserving choice.
5. Union Jack
Henry Cavill of Superman fame can nail this as part of the Marvel roster, especially with Britain's Union Jack. Not well known, Cavill's star power can make Union Jack an A-lister for the Marvel heroes roster. Created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins, the first Union Jack first appeared in Invaders #7. A second incarnation from the same creators appeared in The Invaders #21, and a third incarnation was created by Roger Stern and John Byrne for Captain America Vol. 1 #254.
6. Wolverine
Ever since Henry Cavill made a guest cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, the fan casting for him as Wolverine in the MCU has remained high. With his roaring persona, it makes the casting perfect for him. If anyone is supposed to take over from Hugh Jackman, Cavill should be considered.
7. Cyclops
Equally as popular, if not more so, than the casting of Wolverine is that of Cyclops himself, the X-Men's leader. Henry Cavill brings charisma to make the character of Cyclops cool, thanks to Hugh Jackman, and thus he can remain at the helm of affairs in MCU without being relegated to a second-place finisher behind Wolverine. Cavill is no stranger to portraying stoic leaders. Cavill could bring Scott Summers to life in the live-action versions as he shows strength and respect.
8. Sabretooth
The MCU needs an accomplished Wolverine across from the iconic Sabretooth, who relishes living to make Wolverine suffer as much pain and anguish as possible. The size will be right with Cavill, and he certainly expresses a lust for violence and an ability to cause immense grief.
