Henry Cavill As Captain Britain?
The latest rumors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe realm suggest that Henry Cavill, known for his DCU role as Superman, has said yes to an undisclosed Marvel role to Kevin Feige.

As per Comic Book Movie, while discussing his aspiration to play Captain Britain, Henry Cavill said, "I’m never going to claim a Marvel character that is already being played by someone else because everyone’s doing such an amazing job. However, I have the internet and I have seen the various rumors about Captain Britain, and that would be loads of fun to do a cool, modernized version of that—like the way they modernized Captain America. There’s something fun about that, and I do love being British."
