New MCU Rumors Tease Henry Cavill's Future And Who Marvel Studios Has Cast As Amadeus Cho

A couple of very interesting MCU rumours have surfaced tonight, including claims that Man of Steel star Henry Cavill will return after Deadpool & Wolverine and the identity of Amadeus Cho. Check it out...

Marvel Studios' 2024 offerings are winding down now we're nearly at the halfway point of Agatha All Along, though next year looks set to be a busy one for the MCU.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts*, Daredevil: Born Again, and Marvel Zombies are among the movies and TV shows on the way and the next instalment in the Avengers franchise, Doomsday, won't be too far behind in May 2026. 

It's an exciting time and we now have a few fun rumours to share with you. 

The first comes from @MyTimeToShineH; apparently, Henry Cavill isn't done with the MCU after his cameo as a Wolverine Variant - the Cavillrine - in Deadpool & Wolverine. Whether that means he'll be back in that role or another remains to be seen. 

The scooper has also shared a familiar rumour about Marvel Studios wanting Black Adam star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to play Apocalypse, a claim it's still hard to believe, if we're being honest. 

Our next rumour comes from the slightly more reliable Daniel Richtman. He's just taken to X to reveal that Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire star Logan Kim has been cast as Amadeus Cho in the MCU. 

He doesn't specify when or where we'll see Kim as Cho, though it's worth noting that the character is confirmed to appear in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. With that in mind, this may be a voiceover role rather than a live-action one.

If it does end up being the latter, we'd bet on Captain America: Brave New World.  

In the comics, Amadeus Cho was introduced as the "7th smartest person in the world" and became a key ally to heroes like the Hulk, Thor, and Hercules. After befriending the Hulk, Cho eventually absorbs some of his powers and becomes the "Totally Awesome Hulk."

Earlier this year, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy addressed perhaps the threequel's biggest cameo by revealing how Cavill ended up playing a Wolverine Variant in the movie. 

"If we’re going to talk about him, we must call him by his actual credited name, the Cavillerine, which Ryan coined. I knew it was undeniable as soon as Ryan came up with that term. He said 'yes' right away because he knew it would be subversive and playful. It was also with a lot of affection for him and his body of work, and playing with his legacy as a DC hero now that he’s appearing as a variant of a Marvel hero."

Cavill would be great as Captain Britain or Cyclops.

@ModHaterSLADE - too old for Cyclops but otherwise - I would agree!

@TheLobster - Too old for Brian Braddock as well, tbh. Unless it’s a one off. But Captain Britain has franchise potential, so a one-off would be a whole waste. He and Excalibur should definitely be a part of the Mutant Saga though.

Cavill as a re-cast Hercules, please.

@rychlec - My choice is still Lee Pace but that skinny short guy they casted gotta go

@GodHercules20 -

Yup. Brett Goldstein is great, but not as Hercules. No amount of muscle gain will compensate for those narrow shoulders.

@rychlec - I gotta agree. I don't know what higher up at Marvel though Brett Goldstein was a good choice for Hercules. Nothing against him, but I just don't see it.

@GodHercules20 - I’m probably in the super minority here but I don’t see why a character with super powers has to look a specific level of muscular or buff. It’s an unnatural thing, he can just be reasonably muscular imo.

Captain Britain would be the obvious, and great, choice. I really hope we get a comic accurate version of Wolverine someday 🤷🏻‍♂️

@FireandBlood - For Captain Britain?
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 10/3/2024, 3:58 PM
@Izaizaiza - Yep. He’s already in his 40s, and Captain Britain is a whole franchise. The longevity isn’t there, especially considering he’d be mid 40s before it even got off the ground.

I would rather see him as The Wolverine than having Hugh Jackman who’s 55 continue on in the MCU.

I straight up hate how Marvel is recycling all these Fox-Men instead of building something entirely new.

@TheLobster - i think its because of the multiverse aspect. If it wasnt for that and hugh and ryan being buds i don't think we would be seeing hugh as wolverine right now. We probably would have seen the mcu xmen by now though.

Hugh had a perfect rugged looking face for logan, Cavil a lil too pretty imo

@Matchesz -

Cavill can grow into it. Hugh was arguably on the "pretty" side when he first donned the 'burns.

Honestly in the very brief time he had as Logan in DP & W , I wouldn’t mind if Cavill reprised that role in the MCU proper since he looked the part and did well with what he had…

I honestly would take him over some of the fancasting I have seen such as Taron Egerton or Daniel Radcliffe.

Also , Logan Kim seems like a good choice for Amadeus if true though I wonder if they’ll confirm the Helen Cho connection from AOU?.

@TheVisionary25 - yea for me wolverine needs that rough rugged voice like he has just smoked 10 cigars and downed a bottle of whiskey. Daniel could do it with some work but i think taron would be a good iceman.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/3/2024, 3:55 PM
@CaptainFlapjaks - fair enough

I think Wolverine needs to be more rugged and I don’t think both of those actors have that quality
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 10/3/2024, 4:01 PM
@TheVisionary25 - radcliffe definitely has a ruggedness to him. But he needs to seriously bulk up and i dont think he will want to do that. He seems more like a private person too and more happy in the indie circuit. Taron definitely is a pretty boy type.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 10/3/2024, 4:08 PM
@CaptainFlapjaks - I don’t see it with Radcliffe but to each their own

I see him more of a Nightcrawler tbh.

Already laying the groundwork to get rid of Mark Ruffalo bc they can’t seem to grasp the notion that you can actually recast and continue forward. The list of replacement characters is getting long. Shame

No Cavill please, it's too on the nose.

But I've been waiting to see Amadeus Cho for a long time. Great character.

@IronDean2099 - Technically he was in TIH but played by a white guy.

Amadeus Cho is already in the MCU, he appeared in The Incredible Hulk and that's still canon according to Disney.

Amadeus Cho as Hulk can wait til og Hulk is done right. World War Hulk or whatever of that nature. Sick of this stupid nerdy, green bozo running around in Hawaiian shits and glasses.

If they're not going to use him for Galactus, then Javier Bardem for Apocalypse, albeit motion capture like Thanos.
