Superman Returns! Henry Cavill Reportedly Back But No New Solo Film

Warner Bros. reportedly still intends to bring back Henry Cavill as Superman in a future DC movie, although which one remains unclear. Deadline claims they've heard "Cavill could come back in a couple of different ways, not a standalone film, but there are plans to put him back in the big red cape again sources with knowledge tell us." Variety reports that Cavill is "is in talks to return as Clark Kent in an upcoming DC Comics movie." Deadline points out that while Wonder Woman 1984 and The Suicide Squad are already done filming, and Superman isn't expected to appear in 2021's The Batman, Cavill's Man of Steel could appear in such future DC productions as Shazam 2, Black Adam, or Aquaman 2. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-dceu-movie-review-score&captions=true"] Shazam 2 seems like a likely bet given the Superman cameo at the end of the first movie, but Black Adam could also be a possibility given Dwayne Johnson's previous pronouncement that a Superman/Black Adam brawl "is in the cards." Cavill recently appeared in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel watch party during which time the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League was officially announced. Deadline's report follows rumors from Heroic Hollywood which claimed Warner Bros. had put the brakes on developing a Supergirl movie in favor of another Superman project starring Cavill. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/21/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-official-hbo-max-announcement"] It was reported in 2018 that Henry Cavill was out as Superman, while Cavill later insisted the role was still his (as did his Justice League co-star Jason Momoa). Cavill still has to finish filming Season 2 of Netflix's The Witcher, which was shutdown indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. His next movie, Enola Holmes, sees Cavill play Sherlock Holmes. The film was originally meant to be released theatrically by Warner Bros. but will now debut on Netflix instead.
