Henry Cavill as Arthur Morgan?
With nearly 40 million copies sold worldwide since its release in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 recounts the adventures of Arthur Morgan, an outlaw on the run in a late 19th century western setting. Developed by Rockstar, already at the origin of the saga GTA, the open-world title had been a huge hit with players. From there to imagine Netflix offering a serial adaptation, there is only one step. The red N has not always shone with its talent on its latest projects, we remember with pain the industrial accident that was Cowboy Bebop, released earlier this year. However, the prospect of discovering Henry Cavill in the guise of Arthur Morgan seems rather encouraging.

Season 3 of The witcher is already in the works, while fans can also find it in Enola Holmes season 2, where he plays the very charismatic Sherlock Holmes. On the video game side, it is rumored that Henry Cavill could also be featured in the adaptation of Mass Effect, this time for Amazon Prime Video.
