Captain Britain

Henry Cavill has long been a fan-favorite for another superhero role, and recent speculation suggests that Marvel Studios might finally be giving him the perfect one—Brian Braddock, better known as Captain Britain.

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe expanding into new territories, rumors have circulated that a Captain Britain solo film could be in development, potentially bringing the legendary British hero to the big screen. Cavill, already known for his portrayal of Superman, has openly expressed interest in playing the character in past interviews, making him a prime candidate should the project materialize.

If Marvel moves forward with Captain Britain, the film could explore Brian Braddock’s origins—his fateful encounter with Merlyn and the mystical Amulet of Right, granting him superhuman strength, enhanced reflexes, and the ability to traverse dimensions. Given the MCU’s growing multiversal narrative, Captain Britain’s inclusion would make sense, especially with Deadpool & Wolverine opening the door for more X-Men-related heroes.
