Henry Cavill’s abrupt exit from the old DC Universe has been hard on many fans, and they kept on criticizing James Gunn and Peter Safran to get him back until David Corenswet got cast as the new Superman and the Cavill fans understood that there was no hope more. His admirers rejoiced when they heard him rumored to join the MCU. There have been speculations about his alleged secret role, like what he could appear in. A new report now claims he will appear in Fantastic Four in this role. Scroll below to know!
Marvel announced Fantastic Four’s official cast last month, comprising Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vaness Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. Matt Shakman will direct the Marvel movie, and while the plot has been kept under wraps, speculations have been going on about who will be the Villain in the film. Other characters’ names, including Silver Surfer and Doctor Doom, pop up.
A few days back, an industry scooper reported that Henry Cavill had been roped in for a secret role in Marvel. Per Culture Crave on social media platform X, Cavill will appear as Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four. Doctor Doom, a prevalent and essential character in Marvel, significantly connects with Kang the Conqueror. Previously, actors like Julian McMahon and Joseph Culp appeared in the role.
It will be a change for the Henry Cavill fans as they will get to see him in a new avatar. Doctor Doom, or Dr Victor Von Doom, is a supervillain and the archenemy of Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and appeared for the first time in The Fantastic Four #5.
Doctor Doom also has a vital role in the events of Secret Wars, and we do not have to remind the fans that Avengers: Secret Wars is in the pipeline. Henry Cavill has been a great superhero, and there is little to any doubt that he will allegedly be a fabulous supervillain as well. Marvel has almost always received positive reviews regarding casting the actors in the MCU.
However, since there is no official announcement from Marvel that Henry Cavill has been hired as Doctor Doom, we will only treat it as a rumor. But the netizens are all hyped up about it.
One person wrote, “Perfect role for him. Hopefully, they don’t screw it up.”
Another added, “From Man of steel and professional monster killer to marvel greatest VillainVillain. I hope Disney don’t mess it up this time.”
One fan asked, “Is he a post credit cameo or main villain??”
Another added, “No make his captain britain and Cillian Murphy as docter Doom.”
One person said, “As doom? Bad casting.”
