In just less than a decade, Henry Cavill has played more iconic characters than most get to in their whole life. We got to see Henry completely own the roles of Man of Steel and the Geralt of Rivia, making him one of the most sought-after actors in the industry. Every studio wants to cast him whether in a superhero role or not.

And now it looks like Henry will soon dawn his cape again, but this time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. New speculations have arisen that suggest we might get to see our beloved Butcher of Blaviken in a negative role in Loki season two. Want to know which role the British actor be taking up soon? Then keep on reading.

Are we going to see Henry Cavill playing the evil Superman in MCU?

According to certain sources, Marvel has approached the actor. And he may have been picked to play a new MCU villain, particularly in Loki Season 2, which will begin shooting in 2023. Although no character has been identified, many believe he may play Hyperion, often known as Marvel’s Superman. The posts below show that CineStealth is the primary source of these rumors.

This, along with claims that Cavill was speaking with Marvel, suggests that this may be an upcoming event. Because Hyperion is comparable to Superman, Cavill’s choice to play him is likely to elicit a wide range of opinions from the viewers. Because Hyperion is an Eternal, he possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, and energy.

He can also fly and breathe with great force. He also possesses enhanced senses, allowing him to perceive UV light, -rays, and even atoms. This seems like a Superman power because he, like the character, has a weakness: argonite radiation, which renders him significantly weaker.

How can Hyperion appear in Loki?

Zhib-Ran, the first Hyperion, was a member of the Squadron Sinister. The Grandmaster, represented by Jeff Goldblum in the MCU, assembled this squad to face an Avengers team assembled by Kang the Conqueror, who has already featured as the One Who Remains in Loki and will be the major villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, played by Jonathan Majors.

This connection demonstrates that Hyperion can contact Loki, but he must convey a different tale. This is an excellent time to introduce Hyperion, and having everyone’s favorite nerd Henry Cavill in it would certainly help. Also, even though he is the evil person in this narrative, he may appear in another one in a different capacity.

What do you guys think about this rumor? Let us know in the comments. Meanwhile, we will be seeing Henry reprise his role in and as in the third season of The Witcher, releasing sometime next year on Netflix.
