Henry Cavill might enter Marvel Universe putting DC in a difficult position

Marvel Studios can cast Henry Cavill as Simon Williams in the Wonder Man series coming from Destin Daniel Cretton. While both MCU and DCEU are already in a slugfest, the casting of Henry in the Marvel movie series would add fuel to it. However, the actor would add an interestingly hilarious meta-textual nature to the entire storyline of Wonder Man.

Simon Williams aka Wonder Man, initially looked like Superman, with big, muscular, dark hair who possessed powers reminiscent of the big, blue Boy Scout. The character had a lot of different looks in the past, including a green and red villain costume. His outfit was modeled on Robert Evans, producer of The Godfather. However, it was rumored that Marvel couldn’t use the character, as DC threatened to sue. Now, if the former Superman plays the character of Wonder Man, it would be a historically hilarious moment.
