In the dazzling era of DC’s best works, Henry Cavill once soared to superstardom with Man of Steel’s celestial symphony. By weaving Superman’s vulnerability into his undeniable invincibility, the studio breathed new life into the age-old tale. Despite that, the continuation of the enduring legend of Superman through a sequel was shelved later by James Gunn. For fans of the British actor and the superhero, this marked a dark moment in DC’s history.

So, it is a given that many still hold out hopes for his return in Man of Steel 2. When a post suggesting that another studio besides DC may have picked up the long-lost project; it was bound to cause a stir. Now, an X (formerly known as Twitter) user has hinted at such a development recently. According to the “rumor”, Warner Bros. may have relinquished the project and handed it to another studio instead. 

Even now that a fresh face has replaced him as the next Superman in the upcoming Superman: Legacy, the support for Cavill has definitely not dimmed. Those who are loyal to The Witcher actor continue to raise the flag of his supremacy over any other when it comes to playing the hero from Krypton. After all, even after a decade since Man of Steel, the immense passion for the movie has not left their hearts. 

Well, these loyal fans took to the comments section to relay their feelings. While some felt that it was time to let go, a majority reignited their hopes for the same. 

Netizens vote in favor of Henry Cavill returning as Superman

The news of Man of Steel 2 is still merely a rumor, however emotions have already begun to run high among fans of the franchise. Just like when an old fan-made video of a Man of Steel clip went viral earlier, similarly, this news left viewers with hearts melting with adoration for the original flick and the hopes of a new one. While some debated which studio could make this a possibility, others were simply elated at the prospect of Cavill’s return. 

One user speculated if a combination of Netflix and Zack Snyder could make this happen. Another was rooting for Universal Studios.

Some doubted the logistics of how this could be made into a possibility and if they would be let down once again.

Whether this rumor takes shape, only time will tell. It seems like until then, Cavill’s fans plan on continuing to keep their wishes alive.
