Henry Cavill might be known for playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe but hasn’t ruled out appearing in the MCU. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the British actor revealed his terms for potentially joining the Marvel family, and his comments may cast some doubt on his rumored Wolverine casting.
“I’m never going to say a Marvel character that is already being played by someone else because everyone’s doing such an amazing job,” Cavill said. When asked which Marvel character he would like to play, he cited Captain Britain as his preferred choice.
If the latest report is accurate, the variant element might be enough to make Cavill feel like he isn’t stepping on Hugh Jackman’s toes, as his Wolverine will be a separate character from an alternate universe. However, will being associated with the iconic mutant prevent him from playing a different Marvel hero down the line? Only time will tell.
