Although he did his part to promote the movie prior to its release, Henry Cavill has refrained from weighing in on Zack Snyder's Justice League in any great detail over the past year. Some believe this was due to his (reportedly) strained relationship with Warner Bros., but whatever the case may be, the Man of Steel actor now seems more willing to share his thoughts on the "Snyder Cut."
"I really enjoyed it," Cavill told Fox 5 Washington DC during a recent interview. "I thought it was a wonderful way of Zack getting his version of the story out, and important to do too. I thought there was a wonderful tenderness to the movie which existed and that was essential for the representation of Superman."
The Witcher star was also asked about a potential return as Superman, and reiterated that as much as he'd love to reprise the role, the ball is not in his court. "I would love to play Superman again, it all depends. There's so many moving parts to that – that it's not just down to my desire."
Reports did the rounds earlier this year that Cavill and Warner Bros. struck a new deal for the actor to appear as Superman in several upcoming projects, but we haven't had any solid updates since. We do know that Ta-Nehisi Coates is currently writing a period movie focusing on a Black Superman, while Michael B. Jordan is developing a series for HBO Max focusing on Calvin Ellis.
The Flash is going to introduce several alternate reality versions of established heroes - including Sasha Calle's Supergirl - so we'll hopefully have a better idea of the studio's plans for Superman when the movie races into theaters next year.
