Henry Cavill won't be Superman anymore, but James Gunn hasn't ruled out the actor playing someone else. Here's five DC superheroes Cavil could play.
Superman is far from the only character Henry Cavill is capable of bringing to life in the DC Universe. After years of uncertainty regarding Cavil’s future as the Big Blue Boy Scout, there was an impression that the actor would reprise the role in a future Superman movie after an announcement from James Gunn and Cavil. However, those hopes have since been dashed, with it since being confirmed that Cavill’s time as Superman is officially over.
Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern Before playing Superman in Man of Steel, Cavill was one of the actors considered for the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. Ryan Reynolds, of course, wound up with the role, but Cavil still has a chance at portraying the Justice League superhero. Lanterns is part of DC’s Gods & Monsters lineup, meaning that the studio is likely to cast a new Jordan in the near future.
Given the popularity surrounding Cavill’s portrayal of Superman, bringing the Man of Steel star back – specifically as Swamp Thing – could be a winning move for DC. The actor’s involvement could generate greater interest in the project. The same daunting attitude that he brought to Geralt in The Witcher and Superman could lend itself well to a creature intended to come across as frightening.
Deathstroke Rather than maintain Cavill’s heroic image, DC could flip the script by casting him as a more villainous character from its comic book universe. DC can take Cavill’s imposing presence and send it in a different direction with Deathstroke, a character who could easily be seen as the perfect antithesis to the actor’s original DC role.
