A recent shakeup at the movie studio may prove to be a beacon of hope for all fans wanting to see Henry Cavill flying as Superman on the big screen again.
Since the disappointment of 2017’s Justice League, Henry Cavill’s future as Superman has been shrouded in uncertainty. Despite Cavill’s willingness to return to the role, and fans‘ incessant calls for the British actor to don the suit once more, there has been little indication that Warner Bros. studios would move forward with Cavill as their Man of Steel.
Until now.
David Zaslav’s Superman
Reports by TheWrap.com state that the recent merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery has seen CEO David Zaslav taking the reins at Warner Bros. and moving ahead with a massive restructuring of the studio including its DC Entertainment division.
Although nothing is yet known of Zaslav’s official plans for Superman or the DC Entertainment division, a source close to him suggests that the best way forward would be to cancel all Superman projects and start over with Henry Cavill.
According to The Wrap’s DC insider, “they [Warner Bros] should cancel all Superman projects in development and start from scratch with [Henry] Cavill.”
The article goes on to state that, “they need to make a Superman movie, and if the plan is a shared universe, a Superman led by (Henry) Cavill needs to be the focal point.”
What About the Other Projects?
Whilst this information should certainly be taken with a pinch of salt, it could very well mean new hope for fans wanting to see the 39-year-old actor get his fair shot at the role of this beloved superhero.
However, one cannot help but wonder what this would mean for the other Superman projects up for axing, namely Ta-Nehisi Coates and J.J. Abrams’ Superman movie as well as Michael B. Jordan’s Val Zod project.
As for the Superman & Lois series, this would most likely remain unaffected as the series has already been picked up for its third season.
Henry Cavill hands Down !!! He’s Fit , Loves to hit the Gym and Work out !!! It was a seriously horrible decision to not have Henry Cavill as The Man of Steel since the Disastrous Josh Weedon, Warner Brothers screwing up the Justice league and Using The Star Henry Cavill as a Convenient Scapegoat to Blame for their own Corporate failures and choices !!! We should have had at least Two Henry Cavill Superman films by now !!! They owe us Fan’s that much now !!! Please Bring back Henry Cavill as Superman !!!!
Henry Cavill is Superman. Period.
Cavill.Hands down. Its the tone and direction thst need changing. Still room for Val Zod.

Henry Cavil
I chose Henry Cavill for return to be a Superman. Henry is the best actor .
Grew up watching Christopher Reeve being Superman and he played him brilliantly. Im now a mature woman and Henry Cavill is supurb as the Man of Steel. He needs a good script and a director like Snyder to continue on from bringing him back from the dead. Wonder woman, Aquaman and even Ben Afleck played supurb parts also Snyders version of The Justice League were far better, its about time they came together again or a stand alone new storyline for Cavill! I think Dylan OBrian would make a better flash never liked Ezra as him! Micheal Jordan would make a great Cyborg if the last one doesnt want the role! I at 55 still love my comic book films so come on lets get some more Superman films out or a Justice League continuation PLEASE!!
Don’t try to To overthink things and try to reinvent the wheel , don’t get convince by a Bunch of eggheads trying change Henry Cavill as superman , you will never find anyone in this planet that looks talks and moves like superman better than Henry cavil , you will lose all your fans if you change Superman , leave it alone and just concentrate on a good story plot
Heck ya !! Henry for Superman !!!
No new actor and not interest in a Val Zod film only want Henry back as Cal!
Tom welling from smallville should be superman
lol no, but Michael Rosebaum should be Lex for sure.
Have the HBO MAX create the Snyder fans Justice League the Injustice style and that’ll be a good idea. I know WB can do it. Of course, I’m even sure Dwayne Johnson could fund the money for his Justice League on HBO MAX for the hardcore Snyder fans. Seeing as how he really wants to see the Snyder version go through.
Yes I want Henry Cavill back as superman
Superman do it right, Henry Cavil was perfect casting as Superman, & would love to see him appear on the big screen again with Russel Crow as his father Jor-El
I want to see Henry Cavil back
Henry Cavill the best Superman ever!!!
If WB has sny kind of intelligence they would certainly move forward with Henry Cavill as the main star in the DC universe.
Henry cavill, no question that he’s carried the torch on from Christopher reeves and he’s also been superman longer than reeves was, Henry cavill all the way that’s my vote, Taylor hoachin is a brilliant actor but doesn’t strike me as a good superman in the series, he’s a wolf in my mind and always will be and as for (and please believe me when I say this, it’s not racism as I come from a very multi cultural background) talks of a black superman? I’m sorry not canon if you catch my drift, sorry to any black fans out there it’s not meant to upset you I swear it just doesn’t seem like it will gel properly, thank you for understandin, like I said I am from aa multi cultural background I’ve got Asian white Scottish black Slavic (viking area) and also North American red indianc blood in the family as well so as you can see I’m far from racist, In fact when my son’s for a DNA profiling done I’m sure he said we have Samoan/Polynesian blood as wella! Go figure? Anyway peace👍
Henry cavill for sure.
He is a great Superman. The best for the role. Man of Steel was great with him!!! Lets get him back!!!
Henry Cavill for Superman
There are too many Batman movies always seem to see is Batman . Batman . Always it is about time that they start making more Superman movies who is the greatest superhero of all time Christopher Reeve is the greatest Superman of all time and he’d be proud of the new Superman. So let’s forget Batman and start thinking of making the new Superman movie. I always look every time on the website to see if they’re going to make a new Superman movie . My nephew always ask me when will there new Superman. He is only 8 years old.. so please can we have a new movie off Superman.. Henry Cavill. Is greatest new Superman. . So please all the Superman fans around the world let’s get a petition signed and to bring back Superman. Make the greatest Superman .all time Christopher Reeves would be honoured. For the Henry Cavill to play greatest Superman of all time.. let’s put on the cloud and fly again let’s making happy again.. lee kent .
Lee, I agree with you all the way. Christopher Reeve was the definitive Superman; in character…, out of character; and also in real life.
I too believe, an all new Superman movie with Cavill, would contribute to excited anticipation leading to a larger than life global event.
Let’s have more Batman! And more Superman!!!
Agree on Cavill…let him play out the role to become the mature confident superman we all want to see…he was left in mid origin stage
Henry Cavill is Superman.
Henry Cavill is most definately the best superman. We!ve been waiting for a follow up on the man of steel….
Henry Cavill for Superman
Henry Cavill for Superman. Cancel all other projects start a shared universe with Henry include Batman and WW in shared universe.
I’d be a happy camper if Henry Cavil kept playing Superman. He has been fantastic so far.
If they kept HENRY CAVIL TO LEAD SUPERMAN FROM THE BEGGING THIS WOULD HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR OUR HEROS IN CEMENT, WB AND DC SHOULD HAVE TRAMPLED MARVEL SUPERMAN IS ALWAYS THE BIG GUN
I’ll take anyone as Superman if they have Superman in the role of hope and justice and not in a dark Nolan style movie..
Henry Cavil is best superman after the legendary Christopher Reeves don’t see another person suit up as superman.
Henry Cavill is Superman
Would love to see Cavil don the suit again, just needs a decent script!
Taika Waititi? Are you serious Lisa? These vile adaptations of Thor weren’t enough for you?!
Taika Waititi ??? T’es sérieuse Lisa ? Ça ne t’as pas suffit ces ignobles adaptation de Thor ?! 🤦🏻♂️
I want to see Tom Welling in the role.
Henry Cavill is the only and best person to play Superman! All he needs is a good storyline, perhaps someone like Taika Waititi can direct the film injecting a verve into the series!
This would be the only Superman movie I’d be will to watch. Give him a real chance to make supermen shine. Don’t touch Superman, ie don’t change the name of his alias don’t change who he is and make sure to keep Superman a man
Henry Cavil is my choice.
But let’s give him a good script. With the former good supporting actors. Let’s have a good story line. With a lot of action. And don’t make him weak.
