Fans are once again raising their voiced for the underrated superheroes

Marvel and DC Fans Unite for Henry Cavill and Andrew Garfield

Henry Cavill is truly the man of the hour. And has been for a while now.
However, this popularity comes after years of being underrated. Back in 2013
when the actor was first seen sporting his red cape above the Metropolis city,
critics had a lot to say. Cavill gave life to both the hero that was Superman
and the mortal Kent Clark. There is a reason, apart from his packed schedule,
why we don’t see Henry Cavill in DC often.

Knowing that we will see him as Superman again in Black Adams made many of us
emotional. And it also reminded fans of a fellow Marvel actor whose version of
Spiderman was once looked down upon. Yes, we are talking about Andrew Garfield
as Spiderman. Fans cannot help but compare Henry Cavill’s cameo in Black Adams
to Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman.


THE SAD CASE OF HENRY CAVILL AND ANDREW GARFIELD

With a BAFTA and a Golden Globe Award chilling in his closet, Andrew Garfield
does not have a lot to worry about right now. Through his brilliant performances
in The Social Network and Tick, Tick…Boom!, Andrew has become one of the most
sought-after actors in the industry.

In 2012, just one year before we saw Henry Cavill as Superman in the DC
Universe, Garfield shot his first spider web in Marvel’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
Garfield’s version of Spider-Man was more human and Peter Parker-ish, if we may
say. He brought personality to the spider-shooting superhero.

And while Tom Holland’s and Tobey Macguire’s Spiderman were worshipped, Andrew
was pushed off to the side. It wasn’t until his cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home
that fans were reminded of how brilliantly he played Spiderman.

If Henry Cavill and Andrew Garfield’s journey in the DC and Marvel Cinematic
Universe, respectively, were to undergo a plagiarism check, the score would be
above 80% for sure.

Andrew received criticism for how he played a dorky Spiderman. Similarly, Cavill
was disapproved for not opting a traditional approach for Superman. Fast forward
to now, DC Universe fans were ready to open fire for a Henry Cavill comeback. In
a few days, the black Adam will be in theaters, with The Witcher actor featuring
in it.

MCU [https://www.marvel.com/movies] and DCEU [https://www.dc.com/movies] fans
also seem to agree with it.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
