Despite Being the Favorite Superman, Henry Cavill Desired to Be a Completely Opposite Character in the DCEU Which He Eventually Fought

Before Henry Cavill, [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] Kirk Alyn,
Christopher Reeve, and other A-listed actors portrayed the most loved superhero,
Superman, at the DCU. However, after The Witcher star got axed, fans have been a
lot angry. But did you know Cavill opted to portray another major famous DCU
character whom he eventually fought?

DC Universe has a lot of fan-favorite superheroes portrayed by different actors.
However, while fans love Ben Affleck’s Batman, it was Christian Bale who got the
role before him. And the Man of Steel actor auditioned for Batman before
becoming Superman in 2013. As reported by Koimoi

despite Christian Bale getting the role of Batman, Warner Bros. liked Cavill as
Batman, too.



After appearing in Man of Steel as Kal-El in 2013, the British actor gained a
huge fan following. He also portrayed the iconic character in Justice League,
Batman VS Superman, and recently, in Black Adam. The fans also saw Superman
fighting Batman several times. After Black Adam, fans were hoping to see more of
Cavill’s Superman but James Gunn axed the character, and the possibility of Man
of Steel 2 as well.

Although viewers also liked Christian Bale as Batman in Batman Begins, can you
imagine what would have happened if the 39-year-old actor played the role?


WILL HENRY CAVILL BE SUPERMAN EVER AGAIN?

As James Gunn axed the character and the actor along with it, he announced his
take on the Superman film. The new DC boss is rebooting the DC Universe and thus
he has announced a new Superman film titled Superman Legacy. He has been writing
the story of the young Clark Kent and wants to portray the story as the
beginning of the DC Universe.



As the film would require a young actor to portray the character of Clark Kent
in Superman Legacy, it is much more unlikely to see Cavill in it. However, the
young actor who portrayed the character before in the previous Superman film has
expressed his desire

to be a part of it. In Man of Steel, the viewers saw Dylan Sprayberry as young
Clark Kent.

would be perfect for Superman in the upcoming film? What do you think would have
happened if Cavill got the role of Batman? Let us know in the comments below.
