Henry Cavill to make a complete 180 turn? From saving the world to becoming a major obstacle in John Krasinski&#8217;s path

Superman’s absence from the screen since 2017 raised some eyebrows among the
fans. It had given fans reasons to speculate about Henry Cavill’s status in the
DCEU. They were rightfully worried about their favorite hero adding fuel to the
fire; reports suggested that Henry Cavill had met with Marvel. 



Meanwhile, reportedly Warner Bros wanted Cavill to reprise his role but wasn’t
quite happy with Cavill’s increasing price tag. Amidst all such speculations and
fan art demonstrating the hunk in different superhero characters

D23 Expo revealed that the actor and Marvel studio did ultimately reach a deal
during their meet-up!

Prior to this, a tweet had hinted at Henry’s entry into Marvel but hadn’t
revealed his role in the MCU.

After reports of the actor’s meeting with Marvel last year, rumors spread that
the hunk was going to play Reed Richards in the much anticipated
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-henry-cavill-to-lock-horns-with-josh-krasinski-for-a-pivotal-role-in-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-the-office-the-witcher/]Fantastic
Four. But John Krasinski’s appearance in Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse of
Madness extinguished all hopes. Then again, fan art of Cavill as Hyperion caused
rumors of him appearing in Loki 2

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

And we all know that didn’t happen. Nonetheless, this is a complete detour for
the actor. From playing the morally upright Superman, the actor has chosen to
take on a darker role. Dr. Doom, or Victor Von Doom, is the main antagonist of
the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Avengers comic book series. We can surely
see the appeal of the character.

Currently, the actor has just wrapped up filming The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] 3, and his film with Millie Bobby
Brown will head to Netflix later this year. Even though he missed out on
Krasinski in playing Reed Richards, we can’t wait to see the two fight it out
together on screen! 

Do you think he’s better suited to play Doctor Doom than Hyperion?
