Henry Cavill’s Return as Superman May Already Be Over

Longtime DC followers had been buzzing when Henry Cavill confirmed up within the closing credit of Black Adam, returning to the function of Superman a number of years after it regarded like he’d been put out to Kryptonian pasture. Shortly after Black Adam debuted in theaters, Cavill giddily took to Instagram to announce his “official” return as the Man of Steel.

“I am back as Superman,” Cavill stated. “The image you see on this post and what you saw in Black Adam are just a very small taste of things to come.”

Or perhaps not.Black Adam and Cavill’s announcement got here earlier than James Gunn and Peter Safran had been introduced in to be the brand new co-CEOs of DC Studios. And in response to  The Hollywood Reporter, the pair have massive plans for DC that might differ drastically from what the earlier regime had in retailer. Those within the crossfire might embrace Cavill, who per a “rumor” would possibly discover no matter Man of Steel sequel was within the early levels of improvement shut down, together with Jason Momoa and his Aquaman franchise, following the upcoming sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Supposedly, Cavill’s announcement of his return was authentic when it was made, and discussions had been underway about what a brand new Man of Steel might appear like. But that was earlier than Gunn and Safran had been put in on the high of DC Studios, and they seem to have their very own plans about the place to proceed with Superman and different Justice League characters.

It looks like little or no is definitively settled at this level. Henry Cavill should still present up in The Flash, and there’s no assure that we received’t see him in a brand new Man of Steel, or in another DC film. But for DC to grandly reintroduce Cavill in a single film, movie a cameo with him for an additional, after which take into account dropping his character for a second time all inside a matter of months form of sums up the state of the DC Movie Universe over the previous couple of years, if one even exists. The Flash is at the moment scheduled to premiere in theaters on June 16, 2023 — with or with out Henry Cavill.
