Henry Cavill in talks to reprise Superman role in upcoming DC movie

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Henry Cavill returning as Superman for a new DC movie or, at least, in negotiations to return as the red-caped superhero.

“The Man of Steel” star is reportedly in talks to reprise his role as Clark Kent for an upcoming movie developed by Warner Bros., according to media outlets like Variety and Deadline.

A new Superman standalone film or a cameo in an upcoming DCEU film? Henry Cavill hasn’t hung his superhero cape yet!

Many fans would love to see Cavill coming back in a “Man of Steel” sequel, however, this possibility isn’t currently in the cards.

As far as we know, Warner Bros. isn’t officially working on another Superman standalone movie, so the British actor’s comeback as the Kryptonian superhero could be in the form of a cameo appearance.

It’s unlikely that Cavill would play Superman on Matt Reeves’s “The Batman“, but the British actor could make a cameo on other DC movies that currently are on the works like “Aquaman 2″, “The Suicide Squad“, “Shazam 2” or Dwayne Johnson’s “Black Adam”.

Cavill has wear Superman’s cape on three occasions. The actor played the iconic character in “Man of Steel” in 2013, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016, and “Justice League” in 2017.
