Funny enough, both Cavill and Pattinson are now part of DC Films’ multiverse, but in different ways: as explained above, Cavill played Superman in three movies set within the DCEU, while Pattinson will make his debut as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which isn’t part of the DCEU, instead taking place in a different universe within DC Films’ multiverse.Īt some point, there were rumors about Cavill being on the list of actors asked to audition for Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, but he has denied that. Meyer lamented losing her perfect Edward and proposed that he played Carlisle, but once more, the offer never reached Cavill. However, Cavill was never approached by Meyer nor the producers of Twilight, and he was already a bit too old to play a 17-year-old. Henry Cavill auditioned for the part of Cedric Diggory, and Stephenie Meyer wanted him to play Edward Cullen as he was “her perfect Edward”. Henry Cavill could have joined two of the biggest book fandoms there are as he was on the lists to play Cedric Diggory and Edward Cullen, but he wasn’t the right fit.
Pattinson played the famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) vampire in three more Twilight movies, which gave his career a major push, although that also meant dealing with fan pressure and more. Although it was a somewhat small role, given that the character was killed by Peter Pettigrew as ordered by Lord Voldemort, it opened many doors for him in the film industry, and just three years later, he was cast as Edward Cullen in Twilight, the cinematic adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel. Robert Pattinson’s proper debut on the big screen was in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire back in 2005, where he played Cedric Diggory.

The movie, along with Cavill’s performance, received mixed reviews, but he reprised his role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, which might have been his final role as Superman. In 2013, the DCEU kicked off with Man of Steel, which told the origin story of Clark Kent and saw him go against General Zod (Michael Shannon), a Kryptonian general who wanted to transform Earth into a new Krypton he could rule.
