10 Dcu Roles That Would Be Perfect for Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill wasn’t just another Superman. He was the Superman for an entire generation. From the moment he donned the cape in Man of Steel (2013), he embodied the Kryptonian hero like few before him, blending power, vulnerability, and pure cinematic presence. That’s why his sudden exit from the Dcu still feels like a real blow. But here’s the thing: Cavill’s story in DC doesn’t have to end just because he’s no longer Kal-El.
The Dcu is evolving under James Gunn, and while a fresh take on Superman is coming, there’s no reason Cavill can’t return in another legendary role. He has the action-star physique, the commanding screen presence, and the fan loyalty to make an impact as a different character and maybe even one that lets him explore darker, more complex, or mythic personas in DC lore.
