3 Reasons Henry Cavill Should Reject Any Marvel Role Offered to Him Right Now
While it is mostly actors who are associated with living multiple lives, when the lens shifts to Henry Cavill and his fans, the narrative differs greatly. The actor, although, goes from being a Witcher in Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy continent to a spy in some other world, in reality, it is his fans who take up the major roles such as cheerleaders, profile curators, and, most importantly, unofficial managers. And while the noise often makes it hard to decipher, they have always come through with the best interest in mind for Cavill.
Usually, the fan chant is for Cavill to take up a certain role, but this time around the uproar demands something quite different from him: to stay away from Marvel for now. Although it sounds like one, this is not a threat. There are many plausible reasons why he should not take up any Marvel roles at the moment.

Marvel may be associated with star power and more or less be the perfect machine to herald the millionaire arc for actors. However, it is Henry Cavill's best interest to not take this leap of faith and not simply because he has some big cheques already but because this to and forth from one massive universe to another without a pause for polish may bite him in the back.
Having been a part of The Witcher while also working in DC, Marvel is basically the only arena left that has not underplayed the actor's potential. Therefore, he should take his time with it.
Marvel will overpower his already decorated plate of delecacies
After almost always landing on the wrong foot, Henry Cavill is in a place in his career where he has just the right balance of fun, fantasy, and furious projects on his plate. From Warhammer 40k, which he has reiterated, is his lifetime passion to Highlander and Enola Holmes 3, there is no room for big Marvel project on Henry Cavill's plate. Not to mention he has also made two entries at the big screens this year, which despite their lackluster reception earned public acclaim for the actor.

Much like Henry Cavill, another actor who was loved by the masses, and whose name was screamed the loudest no matter which Marvel role was up for grabs, was John Krasinski. However, what unfolded after he was finally cast as Mister Fantastic in Doctor Strange was a debacle that is almost physically painful to watch for many.
Henry Cavill almost came close to the same fate when he made a cameo as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. Fortunately, fans have saved Marvel the struggle as taking a note of all the ways a Cavillrine could go wrong have already rejected Henry Cavill reprising Hugh Jackman's role in Marvel.
