This news spread like wildfire through social media, with some fans absolutely believing it.

Marvel scooper, @MyTimeToShineH, who has previously shared some credible information about the franchise, responded that Cavill was offered something else and that he accepted the role.

When one fan refused to believe what the scooper shared, @MyTimeToShineH once again clarified his stance with a cryptic reply. The scooper’s reply read, “You will find that I’m not [lying], sooner than you think.” This reply hints at an announcement happening very soon about the Argylle actor’s potential role in the MCU.
