Exclusive reports claim James Gunn Spoke With Henry Cavill About Playing Someone Other Than Superman In New DC Universe

James Gunn Wants Henry Cavill Back in the DCU but Not as Superman

The DC as led by James Gunn has been total chaos ever since their fan-favorite,
Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] washed his hands off
two signature projects of his own. While there have been hundreds of suggestions
to consider, Gunn has been seemingly firm on his decision of not casting Cavill
as the team for the first space.

Nonetheless, Cavill fans need not be worried as Henry Cavill is not entirely out
of the process, as rumors suggested a few days ago. In fact, Gunn is planning on
something bigger that would suit The Witcher star. As reported exclusively by
GiantFreakinRobots
[https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/james-gunn-spoke-henry-cavill.html], Gunn
is probably looking out for a new role to cast Henry Cavill.

However, the only thing that seems certain at this point is that Cavill will not
be returning as the legit Superman of Hollywood as Gunn suggested. But he has a
new shoe to fill. Owing to his brilliant body form and structure, the star is
being offered a similar role if he wishes to continue with DC being a part of
the issue.

The outlet’s first guess about Cavill’s supposed new role hinted at Superman’s
body-alike Frankenstein’s monster. The character has been DC’s age-old classic
and has never too known like the rest of the superheroes in the universe. First
appearing in an issue of Directive Comics in 1948, the creator reveals that he
did not get much chance to experiment with this character.

WHAT IS THE ROLE HENRY CAVILL WOULD LIKE TO PLAY? 

It is also to note that Frankenstein will play an important role in DC’s
forthcoming projects like God & Monsters in the first wave. In fact, what has
added more speculations about Cavill’s return is James Gunn’s confirmation of a
new HBO Max animated series which is almost all set to hit the theatres.

The chances of Henry Cavill being on board is quite decent. Also, for the time
being, this is not the only Frankenstein project Henry Cavill has landed up
with. Reports have it that he has some ongoing negotiations with Universal
Pictures that is trying to bring the creature like that. 

Do you think Cavill will be joining us in his role? what are your opinions about
the same?
