10 MCU Castings Everyone Expects To Happen
6. Henry Cavill - Hyperion
In recent weeks a list of actors who've apparently signed up for the MCU has been circulated online, and one of the most exciting and downright plausible names? Henry Cavill.
If the list can be believed, Cavill is already set to play a character in an upcoming film or Disney+ series, with the two most-cited possibilities being either Captain Britain or Hyperion.
Given that Captain Britain is a buff British dude and Hyperion is effectively Marvel's parody of Superman, it's easy to see how Cavill would fit both parts like a glove.
And while Hyperion might seem a little too nudgingly self-aware for the MCU, given that Cavill was never really given his full due as Superman in the DC Extended Universe, it's easy to appreciate his desire to step into the boots of a similar character in an altogether sturdier enterprise.
It's certainly possible that Feige throws us all a curveball and Cavill shows up as somebody totally unexpected, but the appeal of getting to see Cavill's Hyperion bro-out with his best bud Thor (Chris Hemsworth) speaks for itself.
