While a team for Man of Steel 2 is being brought together

Fans Imagine a Scary &#8216;The Boys&#8217; Villain to Go Up Against Henry Cavill in &#8216;Man of Steel 2&#8217;, and It Is Not Homelander

Henry Cavill is already hitting the gym as he prepares to fight the villains of
Man of Steel 2. The sequel that is being made nearly a decade after the original
2013 flick has a lot of weight on its shoulders. After all, DC is competing with
Marvel by digging out its own characters from the superhero universe.

The main antagonist in Man of Steel was General Dru-Zod, whose villainous
crusades were faced with Superman’s might. It is essential that the newest
supervillain matches the expectations. Now Man of Steel 2 is still in its early
stages, with the casting team still unfilled. But that has not stopped fans from
speculating their own ideas. In the latest, a fan chooses this actor from The
Guys, and it is not Homelander. 


THE ACTOR THAT COULD FIGHT HENRY CAVILL IN MAN OF STEEL 2

Fan speculations often keep up the excitement of an upcoming project, keeping
them invested in the plot. While the cast of Man of Steel 2 is being selected,
there has been speculation that Henry Cavill could be fighting The Boys actor.
In an Instagram post, artist Skull101ify posted
[https://twitter.com/screenrant/status/1595197573585047552] his idea of what the
newest antagonist could look like. The artist gave Brainiac the voice of The
Boys actor Giancarlo Esposito.

The actor plays Dr. Edgar in the action fiction series and is known for his
roles in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Maze Runner, etc. The post has a
still photo of Brainiac with Esposito’s voice. Now, Brainiac was considered a
potential villain for Man of Steel 2 by Zack Snyder as well. Although the
director for a sequel has not been announced yet, DC studios head James Gunn is
a top contender for it.

When Henry Cavill appeared in the post-credits of Black Adam, it marked the
beginning of his return. Since the Dwayne Johnson movie did not make as big as
expected, a lot is riding for DC with Man of Steel 2

now. The movie has a lot of confirmations to make and has no set release date
yet.

But if Man of Steel 2 is confirmed, would you like to see Giancarlo Esposito as
Brainiac to fight again Henry Cavill’s Superman? Share your thoughts in the
comments.
