Scooper MyTimeToShineHello initially denied that Henry Cavill was playing Doctor Doom when a fan @blurayangel put up a post (via X/Twitter) that suggested Henry Cavill being announced as Doctor Doom would be an interesting casting announcement. She also claimed that most guesses from the fans regarding his MCU role, such as Captain Britain, were wrong.
