Henry Cavill has garnered attention for his potential role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as the hero he recently disclosed he would portray. Known primarily for his portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), Cavill has yet to make an appearance in the MCU. However, with his tenure as the Man of Steel concluded, Cavill is poised to embark on a new superhero journey by joining the ranks of the MCU in an intriguing capacity.
An artist on Instagram, @dariothai_american, envisioned Cavill as Captain Britain within the MCU. Cavill himself has expressed interest in playing Captain Britain, citing a desire to modernize the character akin to the approach taken with Captain America. The possibility of Cavill embodying Captain Britain in the MCU has gained traction, particularly with a project slated for 2023.
If Cavill assumes the role of Brian Braddock, aka Captain Britain, he could potentially be integrated into an MCU team hinted at in the aftermath of the Secret Invasion series on Disney+. The emergence of British heroes like Moon Knight and Black Knight in recent MCU projects suggests a foundation for the introduction of the MI-13 team, which featured Captain Britain in the comics.
MI-13 functions as a British intelligence agency safeguarding the UK from various otherworldly threats. Cavill's portrayal of Captain Britain would likely position him as a significant player in the MCU, given his stature as a former Superman actor. Furthermore, Captain Britain might find himself part of a team with implications for the multiverse, especially in light of the Council of Kangs' debut in the MCU.
Considering the potential inclusion of multiversal superhero teams to combat the Kang variants, Cavill's Captain Britain could emerge as the primary representative of the Captain Britain Corps from the main MCU Earth in future Avengers installments. The Captain Britain Corps' duty involves protecting their respective realities and overseeing the Omniverse nexus, making Cavill's involvement pivotal in upcoming Multiverse Saga narratives.
