He has since decided to produce and star in his ownWarhammer 40000series. He was also in talks of joining Marvel and becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, that still remains to be rumors flying in the air.

Henry Cavill Could Possibly Be Playing Spider-UK

When neither the DC Universe nor the MCU was making the best use ofHenry Cavill‘s potential and talent Sony might have come to the rescue. The extended universe of the Spider-Man series has been explored heavily by Sony with projects likeVenomandMobius. Seeing that aKraven the Huntermovie is also in the works with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Cavill could be making his debut into the world of Marvel’s heroes as none other than Spider-UK.

At the moment nothing is confirmed. However, the role could be perfect for him. Cavill would still be in touch with his British heritage and can also manage to play a superhero at the same time. Sony has been doing everything in its power to extend and make the best of the world of Spider-Man and the multiple variants that exist.Madame Webwill also make her debut with Sony. Cavill would be able to play a mixture of two superheroes and can bring the variant of Billy Braddock to life. The possibility of Cavill making an appearance as the character is greater with him having a solo movie rather than in any futureAvengersmovie.
