An artist on Instagram that goes by the handle of @Subi.Ozil, designed a new concept that shows Cavill as Cyclops for the MCU’s X-Men. In the fan art the actor gets the characters classic mask, a visitor and is shown using his iconic super powers. Eight Cavill being rumored to make a return as Superman in the upcoming Black Adam film for DC Comics, the odds of him joining the MCU are pretty slim. You can check out the fan art below!
During San Diego Comic-Con, the studio revealed that they will officially wrap up the new saga with two new Avengers movies, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige seems to think that the multiverse is fine in Jonathan Majors’ hands. During the same interview, Feige revealed that the Kang the Conqueror actor is well suited for this role.
“It comes down to the cast and with Jonathan Majors, who I think took over the Hall H stage, you know, in the three minutes he was up there,” Feige told us. “It’s amazing, and I said to him there’s nobody’s shoulders I’d rather be putting the multiverse saga on than his. It’s really impressive what Jonathan Majors is able to do and all the different incarnations, variants, if you will, of Kang that we will see him do. It’s really pretty cool.”
“What I love is that he’s totally different from Thanos. That he is completely different. That it’s not just how about there’s a bigger purple guy with a helmet? That’s not what Kang is. Kang is a very different type of villain and the fact that he is many, many different characters is what’s most exciting and most differentiates him.” The Marvel Studios President added.
The most recent Marvel Studios film to hit theaters was Thor: Love and Thunder.
