a sequel of The man of Steel with Henry Cavill it could be slow in coming, or never get off the ground, with DC undergoing a major overhaul under the new direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
New information revealed by DAY indicate that Man of Steel 2 may not be in the plans of the duo, recently tasked with patching up the directions of the confusing DC Universe, aiming to steer things towards something similar to what Marvel Studios has in the MCU.
Ahead of Gunn and Safran’s next meeting with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav about the future of the DCU, THR hints that one scenario “sees the closure of Man of Steel 2🇧🇷 Also, Cavill reportedly filmed a cameo for DC Studios’ upcoming The Flash movie in September, but “there is debate within the studio about whether or not to keep the cameo and whether the Its inclusion promises something the studio wouldn’t have planned for. .”
This will come as a surprise to many fans given Henry Cavill’s brief but memorable appearance at the end of black adamwhich was followed by Cavill’s Instagram post in which the actor officially confirmed his return as the DCU’s Superman.
THR also notes that “at that time, [Henry Cavill] it wasn’t wrong. Warner Bros. was actually developing a sequel to The man of Steel and actively meeting with writers. It has also been revealed that Andy Muschietti of The flashwould be interested in directing a sequel to the The man of Steel in the spirit of Christopher Reeve’s films of the 70s and 80s.
the setbacks for Man of Steel 2 were first reported in November, when news broke that there was still no writer or director attached to the project, nor was there a formal deal for Cavill to return as Superman, despite his cameo in black adam🇧🇷
Also in November, the star of black adam Dwayne Johnson shared that the former Warner Bros. did not want Cavill’s Superman to appear in the film, but that the studio’s new leadership, following the Discovery acquisition, paved the way for the actor’s return.
However, THR claims Johnson is insisting on Cavill returning black adam it may have done more harm than good. “Several sources state that the insistence of [Johnson] upon Cavill’s return and his own involvement with DC may not be a good fit for the new management. [da Warner]🇧🇷 Johnson also criticized the former Warner Bros. leadership for sidelining Henry Cavill after Justice League 2017, excluding his role in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, in 2021.
Moreover, Henry Cavill himself has already expressed (in an interview with ign) interest in meeting with new DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn to discuss Superman’s future in the DCU. “He’s clearly a very, very talented man, and I can’t wait to sit down and have long, long conversations with him,” the actor said.
Whether such a bout took place is unknown, though Gunn recently denied reports that Henry Cavill was signed on for multiple film and TV appearances.
