DC reportedly keen to make ‘Man of Steel 2’ with Henry Cavill

Going back to the calls for the Snyder Cut, fans have been calling for Henry Cavill to reprise his role as Superman in the DC Extended Universe. It seems they may eventually get their wish.

In an extended report that also reveals James Gunn is secretly working on another DC movie, The Hollywood Reporter claims that WB Discovery has an “intense desire” to see Cavill don the red cape once again. In fact, a project that would “essentially be Man of Steel 2” is reportedly in search of writers.

The project is one of several featuring Superman highlighted in the report, which touches on everything from a potential Flash sequel to Matt Reeves’ plans for spin-offs based on Batman’s rogue’s gallery. It also highlights the chaotic nature of WB Discovery’s situation as it tries to find its own version of Kevin Feige for the DCEU.

In the midst of what’s described as a power vacuum in DC amid the impending departure of DC president Walter Hamada, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is among those said to be trying to define Superman’s future. According to THR, Johnson badly wants to make a ‘Black Adam vs. Superman’ that would feature Cavill.
