Despite his recurring appearance as Superman in the SnyderVerse, the actor was unable to stabilize his position as the big blue, due to mixed reception from fans and critics leading to his unofficial departure. This lack of stability has allowed other studios to try to cast it in their productions.
Henry Cavill in the MCU?
Marvel is among the studios that have been in talks with Henry Cavill for a few years. Rumors suggest the actor has been considered for a few interesting roles, including Reed Richards, Wonder Man, Hyperion, Captain Britain, and Cyclops.
In the latest rumor report, Henry Cavill’s induction into the MCU may be coming sooner than expected, as most expect Marvel to reveal the Fantastic Four cast at D23 Expo next week.

Who said he couldn’t do both? I feel like Hyperion would be an in and out role for Cavill. An appearance in Loki S2 followed by a supporting role in Avengers 5. That would be a 2 year commitment to the MCU at most (assuming Squadron Supreme is defeated or killed in Kang Dynasty). https://t.co/vTu5gH2IxY

As his return to the DCEU is said to be true, that would conflict with his presence in the MCU. But that can be mitigated with his casting as Hyperion as he would only have supporting appearances in loki season 2 and avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Henry Cavill also in Mister Fantastic?
The actor is also rumored to play the role of Mister Fantastic, but given the fierce competition, that might not happen. John Krasinski is already a fan favorite to return as Mister Fantastic, as ‘YouStar Penn Badgley seems much more likely.
Some of the names have been circulating lately, two that I haven’t seen anywhere else
When they announce the cast I’ll tell you who almost got it – one person is someone who has worked on a huge Disney franchise before
