For those who watched Deadpool & Wolverine, they would recall Henry Cavill's blink-and-miss appearance in the film. Cavill, like many would know, has famously played Superman in the DC Comics films. And so his cameo in a Marvel Studio-backed film piqued the curiosity of many. If the latest reports are to be believed, then Cavill is seemingly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a potential role in their upcoming series Nova. 

Recent reports claim that the actor is being considered for a part, but the specifics haven't been confirmed.
