These last few months have seen an ongoing stream of contradicting reports on Henry Cavill’s continued involvement, or lack thereof, in the DCEU. There is a long time be a long time before Superman makes his return to theaters, a recent rumor shared by Revenge of the Fans hints that the Mission: Impossible – Fallout star may not be out of the game just yet.
RUMORS
It’s being claimed that Henry Cavill might be back as Superman for Shazam! 2 which will put him in an epic battle with Zachary Levi.
The rumor says Henry Cavill as Superman will come under the control of Mister Mind, the only survivor of a mind-controlling race of worms from Venus, who was teased in the Shazam! post-credit scene, and that Cavill will be a part of a small scene in Shazam! 2.
Just as I have said myself, the rumor claims that Dwayne Johnson wants to use Henry Cavill, and as has been previously been reported, The Rock wants a DC shared universe; Henry Cavill is also rumored for black adam 2.
CAVILL RECENTLY SPOKED
I’m not just going to sit quietly in the dark as all this stuff is going on. I’ve not given up on the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. A lot of storytelling to do. A lot of real, true depths to the honesty of the character I want to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me. There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.
Henry Cavill’s comments to Men’s Health are sue to excite the DC fans out there. Much of the DCEU’s plans for the future were abandoned after Justice League failed to perform the box office. This includes the Justice League sequel, Cyborg movie, and Flashpoint. Henry Cavill hasn’t signed on to another flick, and was noticeably absent for Superman’s cameo in Shazam! But it looks like he hasn’t given up, and will hopefully play Clark Kent again. This time without a mustache.
