According to a new article from The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is currently in the process of developing a new Superman film.
Under Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and Warner Bros. Pictures heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, Warners has an intense desire to reprise the Cavill iteration of the hero. The project that would essentially be "Man of Steel 2" is being produced by Charles Roven and is currently in a search for writers. (There is a wishlist, of course. And Christopher McQuarrie, the hand that guides the "Mission: Impossible" movies was on it. McQuarrie worked with Cavill on the 2018 installment, "Fallout," but sources say no official outreach has been made nor may it be feasible, as the director is working on the next back-to-back "Impossible" installments.)
Over the years, there has been a strong desire by fans for Henry Cavill to return to the role of Superman and, in recent interviews regarding the upcoming release of "Black Adam", Dwayne Johnson has also continued to voice his support for Cavill to return.
However, there was always opposition towards such a return from the current head of DC Films, Walter Hamada. Now that he is stepping down though, a new era is about to begin at the studio which paves the way for Cavill to possibly suit up once again as the Man of Steel.
For now, it's still a wait and see situation but the odds of Cavill returing to the role have certainly increased.
