![]() In fact, his performance as Sherlock Holmes is all the insight one needs to see how well this casting choice would pan out. From his dark hair to muscles that test the strength of his suit's seams with every movement, everything about Jonathan's appearance screams Henry Cavill. That mutability makes it the perfect playground for the impossibly buff Jonathan Joestar, someone beefier than the Victorian Age was ever ready for. Victorian England is that rare, mutable sort of setting that can be as grounded or fantastic as you want it to be, going from the realism of a Holmes story to the stylized action of Phantom Blood. Like American Western movies, stories set in Victorian England have already won half the battle just on the merit of their premises. Victorian England captured the imagination of the masses even in its own time, and by now, audiences around the world are enchanted by this misty, rustic world and, thanks to Enola Holmes (and his own heritage), fans should have no problem picturing Henry Cavill in it. It's not a far cry from Clark Kent at all - in fact, it might be easier, depending on the number of special effects used.Ī live-action take of Phantom Blood would enjoy a vital advantage: the setting. This is the pre-Stand story arc, where life energy known as Hamon can be infused into punches to slay the undead. And given Cavill's physically demanding roles as Superman in the DCEU and Geralt in The Witcher, he could definitely handle the rigors of JoJo's action scenes, too. If he can fit seamlessly into the world of Enola Holmes, he could do the same in a live-action version of Phantom Blood, complete with the gentleman's clothes, accent, and anything else the role calls for - after all, he's done it already. The story of Phantom Blood is set in Victorian England, a setting one Henry Cavill recently explored in the recent Enola Holmes, playing a more charismatic version of Sherlock Holmes. Cavill is brains and brawn in that incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famed character and has the classic British gentleman look that both Sherlock and Jonathan Joestar call for, with a beefier edge. ![]()
