It was not something the comic geeks expected, but it was probably what they needed for a catharsis following the comic tragedy. However, since the theatrical unveiling of the Cavill-rine cameo, comic spectators have been on high alert, lest Cavill’s potential return to the MCU go unnoticed. The gossip grapevine has lately been abuzz with rumors surrounding the actor’s MCU retreat with a World War Hulk movie.

The truth behind Henry Cavill’s MCU comeback in the World War Hulk flick

A World War Hulk movie has been the MCU’s rumored focus for a long time. Throughout the cinematic universe, there are quite the superheroic Easter eggs that convinced fans about its potential materialization. Though uncertainty prevails because of Marvel Studios’ lack of comments on the possible project, it is not more dazing than the speculations that Henry Cavill has signed up for the unconfirmed flick.

The idea of Cavill playing Wolverine in future MCU movies has been abundant, including conjectures about his return with a World War Hulk flick. Mostly fueled by fan forums, the rumors have gained formidable traction. However, the absence of reliable sources coupled with Marvel Studios’ lack of verbal or written verification about a World War Hulk movie or Cavill’s involvement in it as Wolverine underscores nothing, is set in stone.

Henry Cavill was part of the MCU’s Nova gossip circuit

Henry Cavill’s potential superhero retreat has had fans on edge since he bid farewell to the DCU. After his brief MCU induction, all eyes have been on the comic arena across the pond. Although Marvel Studios has yet to leverage Cavill’s superhero skills, MyTimeToShineHello on X previously teased, he was being considered for a role in the delayed Nova series. Later, the same insider came forward, revealing Cavill was reportedly being considered to play Annihulus, the big bad of the Marvel universe. 

Though the Marvel entry for Cavill would have answered many prayers, the MCU had more issues at hand to address with more delays. In fact, Deadline reported the Nova series was never officially greenlit in February. Although the likelihood of the show’s materialization is not exactly ruled out, it remains to be seen whether the speculation mill still carries the weight if and when Marvel Studios chooses to go ahead with it.
