I know people want Superman and want it now but if that’s the priority and all they got is JJ and co’s script, you better believe they will find a way to make that work with Cavill or not https://t.co/lL2uEo2l9v

I’ve heard a rumor, just a rumor that Coats has script that can use Cavill if they so choose, not sure if they kept the period piece idea

Henry appeared in 2013 for the first time, wearing the red cape in the Man of Steel and then in Justice League twice, once in 2017 and then in 2021’s Snyder Cut. Cavill’s Superman fought against the Dark Knight as well in the 2016’s Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice.
And since then, he never returned as Kal-El, which makes a fan a bit nervous about his return ever again. Henry touched people’s hearts with his performance and they want to see more of him in the Superman outfit. There were rumors of him doing a cameo in The Flash; later it was Sasha Calle, the cousin of Superman, who will take the Superman brand forward. The Flash will release in 2023 on June 23, but there are no official dates for the Coates’ Superman movie.
