Fans have lost count of the times they’ve been reduced to blubbering wrecks by the franchise over the past 14 years. But what are the absolute toughest scenes to watch in the whole…

But who would the Man of Steel star be best suited to play? One common choice is Captain Britain aka Brian Braddock, seeing as it would be fun for Cavill to get to play a superhero with his own English accent for a change.

Hulk made his debut (in Edward Norton form) back in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk as an uncontrollable rage monster, though has mellowed substantially as time went on.
