Given the recent Superman news, and possible “Cavill is done in the DCEU” rumblings, subsequent “Who could he play in the MCU” theories have popped up on cue, which made me wonder something entirely different.
Does he come with too much baggage to even try it? And what I mean is, there’s a realistic chance here, through no fault of his own, that they’d have trouble, regardless of quality, not making this come off as a bit of stunt casting.
To make an analogy, its similar to the reason why Colin Kaepernick or Tim Tebow eventually couldn’t make an NFL roster. It’s not that they are incapable of contributing, but rather because for very different reasons they're stigmas are each a distraction to everything else going on with a team to the point it outweighs whatever contribution they could make.
So the question is, does Cavill present some sort of net gain for the MCU that is bigger and more worth while than the “oh hey look they stole Superman and made DC look silly” and “awww man they should have made him the most important character ever” headlines that are going to come along with doing it?

It's irrelevant at this point. Just find the right role for him if he's interested in joining the MCU, which Kevin Feige has nailed down to a science.

Money makes stigma go away. Unless it's really, really, really bad, but usually what determines really bad is if it costs more money than it saves. If Cavill brings the green then he'll find a home any place where green is important. I understand the "he was Superman" thing, but Josh Brolin was Thanos and Cable in the theaters at the same time, before the Fox Disney Merger. The studio even got over their tiff with James Gunn because money talks, and this was after he was brought on by Warner Bros for Suicide Squad 2.
As for who he could play? Beats me. Obviously somebody intensely physical. Kraven the Hunter? Somebody who doesn't need to have "abilities" to be dangerous. Or maybe he could be Namor.

During one of my rewatch sessions I noticed her name as casting director. And it kept coming back. There is even a special on her on the extra's for Endgame on Disney+. Sarah Halley Finn is one of the major foundations under the MCU. Fun fact. I saw today she even has producer credit for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

That would be hilarious. Would be good if he was cast as a villain too, both funny and he would be good in the role. Kills two birds with one stone

Henry has two choices... join... or die... metaphorically speaking, that is.
He will join us, and it should be against type.
Several opportunities are awaiting him. He has only but to choose.
The Shaper of Worlds Galactus Dr. Doom The Psycho-Man Michael Korvac Mister Sinister Sabertooth Super-Skrull Immortus Magus Beyonder Sebastian Shaw Graviton Vulcan Grim Reaper Nuke Black Heart Terrax The Tamer
He'd make an exceptional big bad for the MCU.
The only heroes I'd remotely consider him for are the Sentry, Nova or Scott Summers.
