Rumors are swirling in Hollywood that actors Henry Cavill and Ryan Gosling are making their entrances into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Cavill, recognized for his role as Superman in Zack Snyder’s DCEU, is speculated to be taking on the character of Wolverine. Meanwhile, Ryan Gosling is believed to be stepping into an undisclosed role in the MCU with fans wagering on the character of Nova.
Cavill’s Possible MCU Debut
Since Henry Cavill’s stint as Superman in the DCEU concluded and the character’s mantle was taken by David Corenswet in James Gunn’s reboot, fans have been inquisitive about Cavill’s next franchise move. Known for his roles as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher and Sherlock Holmes in the Enola Holmes series, Cavill has also been a front-runner to become the new James Bond post-Daniel Craig.
The recent wide-ranging speculation pinpoints that Cavill could join the MCU as a multiverse variant of the Wolverine character. This news, as reported by Giant Freakin Robot, was confirmed by an industry insider, whose credibility extends to leaking Linda Cardellini’s role as Lyla in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.3. Cavill is expected to don a long brown coat in his reported arrival in the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer Deadpool & Wolverine.
Earlier, fans also conjectured that Cavill might play antagonist Doctor Doom in the forthcoming Fantastic Four movie or perhaps Captain Brittain. Although it’s predicted Cavill’s role as Wolverine may only be short-lived, there are hints of his possible and rather intriguing appearances in future Marvel films.
Ryan Gosling’s Rumored MCU Role
In other MCU news, the Barbie star and recent Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling, who has never been in a superhero flick, has grabbed significant attention by supposedly signing on with the franchise. The buzz around Gosling’s involvement in MCU sparked off last week, with a majority of fans supporting the idea of him playing the character Nova, also known as Richard Rider. As a member of the Nova Corps, Nova is notable for his superhuman strength and Nova Force powers. However, some also suggest that Gosling could potentially portray Doctor Doom.
While both Cavill and Gosling’s MCU castings remain speculative, their involvement in the franchise isn’t entirely impossible. The recent shift in the MCU to include lesser-known and varied characters offers ample opportunity for these A-list actors to try on new roles. For now, fans will swiftly and eagerly keep tabs on their every move, looking for confirmation of these rumors. After all, the possibility of Superman and Ken from Barbie joining the Marvel Universe is undeniably electrifying.
