Last night a report surfaced from reputable trade THR claiming that Henry Cavill would be exiting the DC Extended Universe having failed to reach a deal with Warner Bros. to reprise the role of Superman in next year’s Shazam!, throwing into doubt any future appearances in the DCEU for his Man of Steel.
Warner Bros. subsequently issued a statement downplaying the report, claiming that “no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films”, and now Cavill himself has taken to Instagram to share a rather cryptic video, which doesn’t seem to suggest a goodbye to the iconic character. What it does suggest however, is anyone’s guess…
