Summary
- Marvel fan art imagines Henry Cavill as Captain Britain in the MCU, a popular choice among fans.

New Marvel Cinematic Universe fan art imagines former Superman actor Henry Cavill as Captain Britain if the DCEU star were to ever join Marvel Studios. 2022 was an emotional roller coaster of a year for Cavill when it came to his legacy as Superman. After returning to the DCEU in Black Adam, the actor announced that he was now going to be back as Superman on a full-time basis, only to have to retract that statement a few months later when James Gunn's Superman: Legacy revealed that DC would be rebooting the Man of Steel.
While Cavill may officially be done with Superman, it hasn't stopped the world from wanting to see him suit up as different superheroes. One of those popular choices continues to be Captain Britain, as new Marvel fan art by Buffy2Ville imagines Henry Cavill in the MCU as Brian Braddock.
Given Cavill's heritage, Captain Britain has been suggested for the DCEU actor multiple times, even though the MCU has never fully indicated whether they intend to introduce that character in the main universe. In addition to Captain Britain, the MCU audience has also proposed that Cavill plays Sentry, who is essentially Marvel's Superman.
