The actor's future took an unexpected turn as reports emerged suggesting he has embraced a new superhero persona within the MCU.
Journalist Matt Reeves, via X (formerly Twitter), initially fueled the frenzy by announcing Cavill's involvement, hinting at the possibility of him portraying the iconic Marvel villain, Doctor Doom.
