Henry Cavill is formally achieved because the Man of Metal, there’s little doubt about that, what with Superman: Legacy set to reboot the Final Son of Krypton with a a lot youthful actor. What we will’t rule out for sure, although, is that James Gunn and Peter Safran received’t discover one other function for Cavill of their nascent DCU. In spite of everything, phrase has it that Jason Momoa is swapping Aquaman for Lobo, so it’s not an impossibility. All it will take is for the right character to stand up who’s the polar reverse of Superman.
And, wouldn’t you understand it, intrepid DC followers could have already discovered the best new function for Cavill. Enter Etrigan the Demon. As pitched by u/RedN0va on the r/DC_Cinematic subreddit, the ex-Witcher lead would truly be a tremendous option to carry this hellish anti-hero to life. Within the pages of DC Comics, Jason Blood is an immortal medieval knight cursed to share his physique with a demon. The Redditor argued that Cavill has the “regal bearing” for the Blood character but additionally the “physicality” for Etrigan. Actually, we will see it.
So can also lots of the followers in replies, with even those that suppose it will in all probability be higher for Cavill to distance himself from DC admitting that he would kill it as Etrigan. It doesn’t damage that the character looks as if somebody who stands an honest probability of showing in Gunn’s imaginative and prescient earlier than lengthy, seeing because the DCU is unquestionably embracing its horror facet from the off — see: the Creature Commandos animated collection and the Swamp Factor film.
Etrigan has made a few near-misses in the case of his live-action debut, due to Guillermo del Toro’s Justice League Darkish movie and J.J. Abrams’ TV present primarily based on the group each being aborted, so the yellow-skinned beastie is unquestionably due a fortunate break quickly. Whether or not it’ll be Henry Cavill donning his horns when he does ultimately seem, although, we’ll must see.
