Henry Cavill is Back as Superman

Henry Cavill is not done being Superman.
In an Instagram post Monday, Cavill announced he will be back as The Man of Steel, following a cameo appearance in the latest DC Comics movie, Black Adam, which opened in theaters this past weekend.
Cavill reportedly will reprise his role in a sequel to 2013’s Man of Steel. Since that blockbuster nine years ago, Cavill has only appeared in one DC Comics film, 2017’s Justice League, as well as the vastly-improved, repurposed 2021 version, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which included original, unused footage. Cavill has gone on to star in Mission: Impossible: Fallout and television series The Witcher.
While we await that potential sequel, and hope that it is as good as the original, there is still a good chance we will see Cavill’s Superman appear in at least some of next year’s DC films, about the characters Shazam, The Flash, Aquaman and Blue Beetle.
