No, the title of this article is not misleading. Henry Cavill is not done playing Superman in the DCEU. Despite all of the rumors stating otherwise.
Cavill played Superman in three films for Warner Brothers and the DCEU- Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League.
Recent reports stated that a rift grew between his reps and the studio and that Cavill is out as the Last Son of Krypton.
In the interview, Cavill stated that he has no plans to give the role up, and as far as he knows, he still has the job:
“The cape is in the closet. It’s still mine… I’m not just going to sit quietly in the dark as all this stuff is going on. I’ve not given up the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet.
A lot of storytelling to do. A lot of real, true depths to the honesty of the character I want to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me.
There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.”
Cavill then (When asked) gave an assessment of the three DCEU films he starred in:
“Man of Steel? ‘A great starting point. If I were to go back, I don’t think I’d change anything.’ Batman v Superman? ‘Very much a Batman movie.
And I think that realm of darkness is great for a Batman movie.’ Justice League? ‘It didn’t work.’”
The world waits for an announcement of the next Superman film. Until then you can catch Henry Cavill in Netflix’s The Witcher on December 20.
