Warner Bros. just recently confirmed that they are going to bring back Henry Cavill’s Superman in some upcoming DCEU movies, however, none of them will be standalone. Which film he will appear in is still unclear since the franchise has many future projects like Wonder Woman 1984 and The Batman, though this is reassuring that we will get to see Cavill’s red cape in the cinema once again! Even if it’s only a cameo. Nonetheless, this is exciting, and I’m pumped to see the guy back in action.

Deadline has claimed that they’ve heard “Cavill could back in a couple 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 even reported that Cavill “is in talks to return as Clark Kent in an upcoming DC Comics movie.” While Wonder Woman 1984 and The Suicide Squad have already finished filming, and Superman isn’t expected to be in 2021’s The Batman, we could see him in projects like Shazam 2, The Rock’s Black Adam or even Aquaman 2. Shazam 2 even seems likely due to the cameo at the end of the first movie from Cavill.

A huge possibility also seems to be Dwayne Johnson/The Rock’s upcoming superhero movie, Black Adam, and considering Johnson’s announcement that a Black Adam/Superman fight was in talks, it’s almost confirmed that we will see Cavill in this. The news of the year, quite possibly, was the confirmation that director Zack Snyder’s Justice League Snyder Cut would actually be coming to HBO Max in 2021 during a Man of Steel watch-party. The director also announced that we could be bringing back stars from the original Justice League to record additional dialogue for the cut. That means that Cavill could return for this anticipated movie.

In 2018, it was reported that Cavill was seemingly done with the role of Superman, which didn’t quite come as a surprise to a lot of people. Why? Well, 2017’s Justice League was a huge disappointment, receiving negative critical reception and losing up to 100 million at the box office. I don’t think anyone would want to stay in that franchise. However, later on, Cavill, and his co-star Jason Momoa (who plays Aquaman), both confirmed that he was committed to keeping the role as his own.

If you want some new, upcoming Cavill-starring content, you have to check out the first season of The Witcher, which is streaming now on Netflix. Or, if you prefer his Superman, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Justice League are all streaming! In terms of other upcoming projects, the second season of The Witcher has been confirmed, though filming has been delayed due to the Coronavirus. Netflix will also make a film with him dubbed Enola Holmes, in which he will portray Sherlock.
