Henry Cavill in talks to play Superman again, but only in a cameo

According to multiple media reports including Deadline and The Wrap, Henry Cavill is in talks to reprise his role as Superman, but this time his return will only be in the form of a cameo in a movie.

The report said that Henry Cavill might come back to play Superman in "several different ways", but there will be no independent film about "Superman". According to reports, Henry Cavill may appear as Superman in "Shazam! 2", "Black Adam" or "Aquaman 2" as a cameo.

Previously, Henry Cavill first played Superman in the 2013 movie "Man of Steel", and then he played this classic role again in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in 2016 and "Justice League" in 2017.

In an interview in November 2019, Henry Cavill hinted that he might play the classic role of Superman in the future. Henry Cavill said: "Superman's cape is still in my closet, and the role is still mine."

He said: "I haven't given up on this role. I need to give a lot for Superman, and there are still many stories about Superman. I want to play Superman more realistically, with more depth, and show his honest character. I also want to restore the image of Superman in the comics more, which is very important to me. For Superman, there is still a lot of justice to be done. The current status is: everyone wait and see."

Henry Cavill currently plays the protagonist Geralt in Netflix's hit fantasy TV series The Witcher, which had a very successful first season. The second season was also being filmed, but was forced to be interrupted due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
