Henry Cavill Could Be Making A Magnificent Return

Henry Cavill may be making a return to a high-profile franchise. No, not that one.

The rumor-mongerers at We Got This Covered are back with a new report that's too good to believe, claiming that Henry Cavill, who portrayed the villainous CIA turncoat August Walker in Mission: Impossible Fallout, may return for the next installment.

You may be wondering how this is possible.

Fans will remember that during Fallout's climax, Ethan Hunt was forced to chased down Walker in a commandeered helicopter in order to prevent the latter from putting into motion a plan to contaminate a massive portion of the world's water supply with stolen nuclear weapons. After a stunningly shot, Cruise-endangering aerial chase, Hunt forces Walker to crash-land by... well, just straight-up crashing into him, then engages the villain in fisticuffs on a treacherous, snowy mountainside.

Of course, the ever-resourceful Hunt finds an exceedingly cinematic way to dispatch his nemesis, dropping one of the helicopters' winch hooks on him and crushing him to death. The detonators are secured, the world's water supply is safe, and as for Walker well, he's just super-dead.

If you're thinking it seems like Fallout's ending would preclude a return to the role of Walker by Cavill, well, we're right there with you. So, how would it happen? A dream sequence? Perhaps a flashback? Maybe the as-yet untitled Mission: Impossible 7 will be a prequel?

Or perhaps August Walker was actually the nefarious alter-ego of Superman, a guy whom he bears a suspicious resemblance to, and he was therefore able to simply shake off getting a half-ton winch hook dropped on him?

In our humble opinion, the answer is none of the above, because we're pretty sure that this rumor is baloney for a couple of simple reasons. First: Cavill's character is, again, dead as a doornail at the conclusion of Fallout.

Second: the mysterious "inside sources" are literally the only ones reporting this, and those sources sources that may well just be "Reddit posts and Twitter" are often terribly, embarrassingly wrong. Sorry, but it's true. Keep watching the video to see how Henry Cavill could be making a magnificent return!
