Henry Cavill officially back as Superman in “Man of Steel 2”

• The long-awaited Superman sequel may not be happening after all.
• Part of a larger DC doomsday-like story, according to sources.
• This one sees the shutting down of Man of Steel 2 with a returning Henry Cavill.

Henry Cavill was once again playing Superman and that a sequel to Man of Steel was in the works, since then, one of the most exciting developments was on the declaration.

Since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the newly established DC Studios for Warner Brothers Discovery this past October, it has been an exciting time to be a DC fan.

For DC fans, things may not be as rosy as they seem, as it has recently been reported that the long-awaited Superman sequel may not be happening after all.

This is part of a larger DC doomsday-like story, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which is quoted as saying, “The first, which builds on the shuttering of Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3, is the closing curtain of the Snyderverse, and the heroes cast by filmmaker Zack Snyder for his Justice League. This one sees the shutting down of Man of Steel 2 with a returning Henry Cavill, and having no more Aquaman, fronted by Jason Momoa.”

Along with Momoa’s Aquaman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Cavill filmed a cameo for the upcoming The Flash, but given this momentous news, it may also be cut from the final cut of that movie.

To be clear, these are just reports at this point; neither WB nor Gunn have yet commented to confirm or deny the story. Nevertheless, given what has happened with Cavill’s Superman over the past few months, this is all very strange.

At the conclusion of Black Adam, Cavill made his triumphant comeback as DC’s main protagonist in a jaw-dropping cameo.

DC fans finally got what they had been waiting for when he confronted Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero and said that they needed “to talk.”

The following Monday, Cavill officially announced on his social media profiles that he was resuming his role as Superman and that his appearance in Black Adam was just a sneak peek at what was to come.

After that, it was revealed that Man of Steel 2 was actually in production. The Flash and It director Andy Muschietti reportedly expressed interest in helming the project that would have brought back the heroic vibes of Richard Donner’s seminal 1978 film, according to THR.

What occurred between the end of October and the present? Well, as things stand now, we merely lack knowledge.

Once more, these are just rumours and reports. However, Black Adam might be involved. Depending on who you ask, the movie either broke even to turn a small profit or lost money.

Superman may have been impacted by that underwhelming box office performance, but that still doesn’t make any sense.

Black Adam and Superman are not the same person. especially in terms of popularity. Even if that were the case, it still wouldn’t explain why WB allowed fans to believe Cavill was returning and allowed him to post a video claiming as much if they were uncertain of the actor’s future involvement with the DC Universe. If all of this is true, WB will need to respond to these inquiries.

As of right now, Cavill’s Superman’s future, along with the rest of the so-called “Snyderverse,” is in grave danger. Hopefully, there is something else we are unaware of.

In the upcoming days, we are certain to learn more about the situation. But if you’re a fan of DC, it would probably be best to hope none of this is true.

You can read the complete THR article describing this crisis DC scenario on their website until we learn more.
