Henry Cavill could potentially return as Superman. In an interview with Inverse, the British actor revealed that he remains open to wearing the iconic suit again, despite saying goodbye to the character several years ago.
"I've had such a wonderful time playing Superman in the past. I would never say never now," Cavill said. When asked whether he might return in an adaptation of the Kingdom Come comic book storyline, the actor expressed optimism about the possibilities.
His comments come at an interesting time for DC. James Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down from their leadership roles at DC Studios, with former Marvel producer Jeremy Latcham set to take over on December 1, 2026. The changes could significantly influence the future direction of the DC cinematic universe.
Cavill first portrayed Superman in 2013's Man of Steel, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. His final appearance came in the post-credits scene of Black Adam in 2022, which initially suggested his return. However, DC's new leadership subsequently decided to recast the character.
The current Superman is David Corenswet, who is also set to reprise the role in the upcoming movie Man of Tomorrow. Whether the new DC leadership will offer Cavill another opportunity remains unclear, but the actor has made it clear that he is not closing the door on a possible return.
