Henry Cavill's Superman has had a somewhat bad go of it but despite the mixed reception to the big screen reboot of the character in Man of Steel, the follow up Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then the CGI debacle of last years Justice League, there's one thing that the majority of fans and movie goers leave thinking: I wish Henry Cavill was given better material.
In fact in Justice League, the one positive to come from that films tumutluous production was that - lip aside - Cavill was finally allowed to be the Superman that we all know and recognise. The Superman that he could be and that he could play so well. Now while it's unclear where the DCEU is going from here in terms of the big picture, a new report from Revenge of the Nerds indicates that Henry Cavill will be around to find out.
Cavill it seems is looking to extend his deal with WarnerBros. According to RotF’s sources, Cavill wants his (not yet confirmed) appearance in Shazam! to count as the final film in his contract, with a long awaited Man of Steel 2 to kick off his new deal. Both parties are reportedly open to the idea of an extension, and it’s simply “a matter of contractual logistics.”
This all remains to be seen of course but it' would be a shame to lose Henry Cavill who obviously has had such love for the character, and such potential in the role if only he were really given the chance to shine.
What do you think? Are you happy Henry Cavill will be sticking around? What have you thought of his Superman thus far? What would you like to se in a Man of Steel 2? Leave your thoughts below.
