As Henry Cavill previously played the beloved DC character Superman, for years, his face got etched in the hearts of his audience as the ultimate superhero.

Perhaps realizing the situation, fans expressed their desire for Henry Cavill to join MCU. As the Studio previously teased bringing Brian Braddock aka Captain Britain to the silver screen, fans found it the perfect opportunity for the British actor.

Although fan art and theories rarely make it to the silver screen, this time the fan art from the digital artist Rahalarts, certainly reached Henry Cavill. And while fans expressed their desire to witness Cavill back as a superhero on the big screen, the actor addressed the fan art and theories regarding his joining MCU.

Although Marvel Studios has yet to introduce the character of Captain Britain, the 40-year-old actor sounded eager to grab the opportunity if it ever comes his way. Ditching the DCEU for good, the British actor appeared to be welcoming the door of opportunity from Marvel Studios, when he discussed the fan art with The Hollywood Reporter.

“I have the internet and I have seen the various rumors about Captain Britain and that would be loads of fun to do a cool, modernized version of that — like the way they modernized Captain America. There’s something fun about that, and I do love being British” Henry Cavill shared.

Sparking hope among netizens about potentially switching teams and joining Marvel Studios instead, Henry Cavill left his fans high and dry. And while there’s no denying that Cavill would be a great addition to MCU, the studio has yet to even introduce the character for anyone to play.
