Now, the real question is, should Cavill actually make the shocking jump to the MCU, which character could he end up playing? Well, a new rumor suggests that it’ll be something similar to his role as the beloved DC superhero.According to a recent scoop from CineStealth, Cavill is joining the cast of Loki Season 2 as Hyperion. For the uninitiated, Hyperion is essentially Marvel’s answer to DC’s Man of Steel and while it can be argued that Marvel has a lot of Superman-esque characters, Hyperion is definitely the closest to Kal-El, except he’s actually a villain.

I gotta say though, the idea of Cavill playing a character similar to Superman doesn’t exactly appeal to me, and no offense to the creators of Hyperion, but I feel like it would be too much of a downgrade for the actor. Obviously, with almost every top-tier character in the Marvel universe already taken, it would be tough to find a role that would suit Cavill so I guess the D-list route is the only way to go.
Loki Season 2 is currently in production.
