“He is deceptively hard to cast”: Henry Cavill Isn’t the Ideal Choice to Play a Major X-Men Character Amid Jumping Ship to Marvel Reports

Henry Cavill, who may be best known for his portrayal of DC’s Man of Steel, has apparently been offered and accepted a new position at Marvel. The British actor, who was born into a Roman Catholic family, used to be DC’s golden boy for a long time. In his Superman role, Cavill embodied the quintessential traditional superhero, replete with a cape. At the start of the DC Extended Universe, Cavill made his screen debut as Clark Kent in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.
But then it was over, and the actor appeared to have put his superhero days behind him, having left The Witcher with the deceptive promise of donning that iconic blue-and-red outfit once again.
