MCU Fans Rally To Cast Henry Cavill As Marvel’s Version Of Superman | Popgen Tech

Marvel fans would love to see Henry Cavill take on the role of Marvel’s Superman aka Hyperion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following his departure as the Man of Steel.

Marvel fans have shown their support for Henry Cavill after he was fired as Superman, with many believing the actor should join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Hyperion.

Considered the Marvel version of Superman within the fandom, Hyperion was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Sal Buscema and first appeared in The Avengers #69 (1969). Possessing a powerset and backstory similar to DC’s Man of Steel, Hyperion served as both an ally and an enemy to the Avengers. Following DC Studios boss James Gunn’s announcement that a new actor would play the Big Blue Boy Scout in his revamped DC Universe, Marvel fans rallied on Twitter to campaign for Marvel Studios to find Cavill as a role in the MCU, with Hyperion being the most suggested character.

Although unconfirmed at this time, Ryan Gosling and Alexander Skarsgård are reportedly Marvel Studios’ top choices to play Sentry — another Superman-like character — in Thunders movie.
