What a stalemate it has been in recent years. DC and Warner shirked a clear commitment to Henry Cavill as “their” Superman. In the meantime, the hero actor seemed already separated from the universe. And that despite the fact that fans and critics were happy with the star and his story was by no means complete. the perhaps the most unnecessary construction site of the current blockbuster cinema is now closed: Henry Cavill remains Superman and will soon be shooting new Superman films.
Great future: DC and Warner rely on Henry Cavill as Superman
Cavill announced the news himself on his Instagram profile, where he also left a greeting to his loyal fans:
I want to make it official. I’m back as Superman. […] Thank you for your patience. She will be rewarded.

How big is Henry Cavill’s role in the DC Universe?
The fact that this confession video by Henry Cavill was necessary at all speaks volumes about how the character and her actor have been treated in recent years. Then actually, the return of Cavill’s Clark Kent is a no-brainer. Just imagine if Marvel hadn’t released a solo movie starring Spider-Man in 9 years. Superman is one of the most well-known comic book characters in the world and Henry Cavill is a well-respected actor, he could easily provide the narrative center of DC – which is exactly what DC lacks at the moment.
The exact plans of DC, which has been without leadership since Walter Hamada was fired last week, are unknown. Ta-Nehisi Coates’ highly exciting parallel Superman film project continues. So it remains exciting for the time being, even with Cavill’s promise. The next planned project should be Man of Steel 2.
