Some fan art has imagined what Henry Cavill might look like as The Sentry. A creation of Paul Jenkins, Rick Veitch and Jae Lee, the Sentry first appeared in a limited series and several linked one-shots published under Marvel Knights, an imprint that focuses on standalone stories separate from the primary comic continuity.
The story begins when middle-aged man Bob Reynolds suddenly re that he is the Sentry, a superhero who possesses a virtually omnipotent. However, some event in the past erased all trace of the hero from not only the memories of the whole world, but also himself. He realizes that his nemesis the Void, a force of destructive darkness, is returning, and as people’s recollections of the Sentry begin to return, he visits several prominent heroes in an attempt to piece together what happened and figure out why nobody can him.
Created by Instagram ApexForm, the image shows Cavill suited up as the Sentry, the distinctive and clashing gold and cyan of the costume immediately eye catching, while flanking bolts of lightning signify both an aspect of his power and also a recurring motif from the comic.
Although Cavill appearing as the Sentry would mean he had appeared in both a Marvel and DC movie, he is far from the first actor to do so. Ryan Reynolds portrayed the titular hero of both Spider-Man: Homecoming.
With somewhat questionable portrayal of the latter in Joker, it would be encouraging to see the subject be given the unsensationalized exploration it deserves.
