Henry Cavill Rumored To Play Wolverine In "Captain Marvel 2"


Henry Cavill may be taking on the role of Wolverine in the upcoming “Captain Marvel” sequel, according to reports.

Henry Cavill just might be joining the MCU, as the actor has been rumored to be starring in the upcoming Captain Marvel sequel as Wolverine. While Cavill may have played Superman onscreen as part of the DC Extended Universe, that doesn’t mean he can’t cross over to a competing super hero franchise, right? Well, that’s exactly what he’s rumored to be doing, as The Digital Weekly reports that Cavill is in talks to star alongside Brie Larson in Captain Marvel 2, to take on the famous character that Hugh Jackman played for 17 years. After Jackman starred as Wolverine in a total of nine films, he said goodbye to the beloved character following the release of the X-Men film, Logan, in 2017.

According to the report, now that Marvel has acquired Fox Studios, it has been “looking for a way to add some X-Men characters into the MCU.” Marvel is also interested in rebooting the X-Men franchise itself, although the stories themselves would have no affiliation with the previous Fox Studios films. The Captain Marvel sequel is set to be penned by WandaVision writer, Megan McDonnell, with a tentative release in 2022. The film will be set in present day, with Brie Larson reprising her role as the titular character, and Samuel L. Jackson returning as Nick Fury.

Robert Pattinson’s "The Batman" First Look: New Batsuit

Robert Pattinson's batsuit in "The Batman" was revealed by director Matt Reeves in a camera test sneak peak of the DCEU film.

"The Batman"'s new batsuit was revealed by director Matt Reeves on Thursday, when he shared a camera test of Robert Pattinson as the title character on social media. In the brief clip, fans get a glimpse of Pattinson as Batman donning the latest version of the DC superhero's famous costume.

Reeves also revealed that the score playing during the red-tinted clip was crafted by his frequent collaborator and Academy Award-winning composer, Michael Giacchino. In October, Reeves orchestrated a mock proposal to Giacchino in order to lock down the composer for the project. The Batman will mark Reeves' and Giacchino's fifth time working together.

As for the costume itself, fans are already speculating that one of the details of the latest version of Batman's suit has some significant origin relations. It's been suggested that the bat symbol on the chest of the costume is made up of the pieces of the gun that killed Bryce Wayne's parents.

Others are noting the undeniable similarities between this batsuit and the costume worn by Marvel superhero, Daredevil, in the former Netflix series.

Starring alongside Pattinson in The Batman are Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Colin Ferrell as The Penguin, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as District Attorney Gil Colson, and more. Reeves announced a few weeks ago that filming had officially begun. The Batman is set to be released on June 25, 2021.
