Henry Cavill is perfect to play a superhero for all the right reasons. With looks and appearance to come across as the Olympion and his nerdy roots, fans are rallying for Disney and Marvel Studios to enlist him for an MCU role.

And it is not surprising since Cavill has proven himself time and again as a flexible and skilled actor, perfectly suited for a range of comic book characters, particularly within the MCU. There are many characters that fans are rooting to see Cavill portray. Well, except one.

Recently, a fan account on X, formerly Twitter, floated the idea of Henry Cavill taking on the role of Wolverine. The image used in the post was a still from the oil rig rescue scene in Man of Steel.

The caption on the page read, “From Superman to Wolverine would actually be GOATED of Henry Cavill”. Additionally, they edited Wolverine’s claws onto Cavill’s hands to drive home the idea. This was a part of the continuous fan discourse on Henry Cavill’s rumored character in the Marvel universe.

Fans have been particularly thrilled about the prospect of Cavill taking on the role of Dr. Doom in the Fantastic Four series. However, recent reports suggest that he may have already committed to another character within the franchise. D

espite the absence of official confirmation regarding these casting rumors, Cavill has previously indicated an interest in portraying Captain Britain. Also, there is a growing sentiment that The Witcher actor would excel in the role of Squadron Supreme’s Hyperion.

While the rumors are endless regarding which character he would play in MCU, it seems that fans are skeptical about Henry Cavill’s suitability for the role of Wolverine, particularly in comparison to Hugh Jackman.

Fans gave the thumbs-down to Henry Cavill as Wolverine

Henry Cavill’s rugged, muscular frame aligns well with the image of Wolverine. His expertise in action roles, as seen in Mission: Impossible – Fallout and The Witcher, shows that he can easily capture Wolverine’s complex persona.

Not just that, the Britsh actor also has extensive experience in the fantasy and Superhero genre. However, his height has become a sticking point for some fans.

Fans also made their own suggestions for the actors who should play the role of Wolverine.

Despite some underwhelming response over the prospect, many were thrilled at the idea of Cavill taking on the role of Wolverine.

Fans also inquired about Cavill potentially taking on the role of the villainous Doctor Doom in the upcoming 2025 Fantastic Four film. While Cavill’s pick for the role is still up in the air, with all the buzz circulating, it seems like there is definitely something cooking.
