We were all ready for the return of Henry Cavill. At the end of Black Adam, there was a tease, and then confirmation by the man himself. It is not occurring. A new Superman film will focus on a younger version of the character, which is being written by JamesGunn. The DC Films bosses told him he wasn't part of their plans after meeting with him. The full statement can be found here. We have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn't be more excited about, and we will be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year. Superman is on the list. Our story will focus on an earlier part of Superman's life so he won't be played by Henry Cavill. We had a great meeting with Henry and we talked about a lot of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.
They haven't decided on a director for the new Superman movie. It won't be an origin story because it's focused on a younger Superman.
The news comes days after a bombshell report by the Hollywood Reporter about the cancellation of Wonder Woman 3, but a hint that the plan was not to bring back Superman. Some of the news in that story was not true according to the man.
We connect the dots next. It is almost certain that Black Adam is out if a new Superman is in. What about the two superheros? Isn't he in the movie. Ladies and gentlemen, may the future films be just as exciting as what happens at DC Films.
