Henry Cavill Would Love To Play Marvel's Captain Britain, Wouldn't Say No To James Bond

Henry Cavill Would Love To Play Marvel’s Captain Britain, Wouldn’t Say No To James Bond Ordinarily, playing the role of Superman in a series of (mostly) successful movies would tend to go down as an actor’s most famous, beloved, and memorable performance. Though there’s plenty of very vocal fans of his DC Universe appearances, Henry Cavill has leveraged his post-Superman opportunities to tackle even more talked-about projects, like his villainous turn in “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” his charming supporting role as famous detective Sherlock Holmes in Netflix’s “Enola Holmes,” and especially his ongoing gig as the lead of the Netflix series “The Witcher....
