Nothing has been confirmed, however, and the only thing that’s definitely happening is a reboot of the Superman film series. Similarly, rumors that Aquaman star Jason Momoa is a frontrunner to play Lobo in the new DCU, means it’s possible Cavill could return as someone other than Clark Kent. Whether it’s as an aged version of the hero, in the vein of Kingdom Come, or a multiversal crossover like Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Since the multiverse is such a hot topic right now, playing a huge role in the MCU and the upcoming Flash movie, there are plenty of opportunities to see Cavill’s Superman again. It could be that Cavill could return as a brand new character, or that his Superman will return at an unspecified point in the future. Gunn tweeted that a number of future possibilities had been discussed, though what they might entail is less clear. This isn’t necessarily the end of Henry Cavill at DC, even if he isn’t the star of the next Superman movie. Though it’s still unclear whether the reports are true, Cavill left over creative differences with the production team - and the heavy deviation from the source material. While we don’t know what is going on in the actor’s head right now, the fact this has happened just after his departure from The Witcher stings a little. Black Adam was supposed to mark the triumphant return of the hero to the big screen, with a solo Superman movie announced shortly after release.īut this recent cancellation means behind-the-scenes turmoil has claimed yet another victim. This was further amplified when Superman was killed off in Batman vs Superman, and stayed that way for most of Justice League’s runtime.Ĭavill’s Superman was then seemingly-discarded by DC, and the character only appeared twice in the years following: a faceless Cavill-free cameo in Shazam, and then another brief appearance at the end of Black Adam. Man of Steel was criticized for its dark tone, and the fact Superman was a brooding, lonely and generally rather miserable character - instead of a beacon of hope and light. To the point where the character's future was regularly in doubt. DC's movie division has had a turbulent decade, and it seems to have affected Henry Cavill's Superman more than most.
