Henry Cavill may not be done playing Superman after all.
After starring as the core hero of the DC Comics universe for three movies, the 37-year-old actor is reportedly in talks to reprise his role for a yet-unknown project that will exist in the same canon as "Justice League," "Wonder Woman," "Suicide Squad" and more.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to Deadline, Cavill is in talks with Warner Bros. to return to the DCU with Superman as a supporting character. It reports that a standalone movie, namely a sequel to the 2013 movie "Man of Steel," isn’t in the cards. With "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Suicide Squad 2" already finished and there being no immediate plans to include him in Matt Reeves’ "The Batman," it’s unclear where Superman could pop up next.

However, the outlet notes that "Shazam 2," Dwayne Johnson’s "Black Adam" and "Aquaman 2" are all potential projects that the powerful Kryptonian could appear in.

Cavill joined Snyder for a Vero Watch Party of Man of Steel last week where it was announced that the infamous "Snyder Cut" is making its way to HBO’s new streaming service in 2021.
