Superman Cavill wants to play Marvel superhero Captain Britain

While Henry Cavill has donned the cape of Superman in the DC Extended Universe, he has voiced interest in joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically saying that he would like to play Captain Britain, reports Collider.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill was asked if he were to make the jump over to Marvel with his version of the Man of Steel being on hold for the moment, which character would he want to play. Cavill pointed to the character Captain Britain, voicing his interest in providing a modern take for Brian Braddock like Chris Evans did for Captain America.

‘Captain Britain’ debuted in 1976 and saw Dr. Brian Braddock gain mystical powers from the sorcerer Merlyn and his daughter Roma, eventually becoming a member of the X-Men team known as Excalibur. Many of the character’s stories revolve around magic, legends, and the multiverse, with the last of these things being something that Phase Four of the MCU seems to really be leaning with the likes of the Loki series and the upcoming ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’.

Another possible hint to the character joining the ever-expanding film universe is that a character closely related to him from the comics recently made their debut.
