The rumor died down after the confirmed cameo and roles that the actor was going to receive in the DCEU as the higher-ups listened to the public along with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Although the rumors died down, the people still couldn’t resist but ask questions regarding any Marvel role that the actor might join.
Josh Horowitz from MTV asked Henry Cavill several questions regarding his role (if any) in the MCU and here’s how the conversation went.
Horowitz: “Should I read body language or anything from the fact that he didn’t respond to my ‘Loki’ question?”
Cavill: “I forgot the ‘Loki’ question!”
Horowitz: “Just that that was a rumor going around that you were gonna be in ‘Loki’.”
Cavill: “As far as I know, I am not going to be in ‘Loki’.”
But that’s not all! The conversation took a twist when Henry Cavill compared himself to James Gunn. The director has worked for both Marvel and DC and is currently working alongside both studios which means theMan of Steelactor might be able to do so as well.
