On the list of visionary directors, the name Zack Snyder pops up more than once. The filmmaker has always won the hearts of superhero fans with his larger-than-life cinematic settings and outrageous stories. More than that, the director is famed for bringing back the most well-known face in the fantasy genre, Henry Cavill. Further, the actor-director duo has made several wonderful films in which their teamwork has been widely praised. However, in the midst of this friendship, the director would not cast Cavill in this DC movie.

In a recent interview, the visionary director disclosed the title of the DC film he would like to direct if given the opportunity, and Cavill would not be a part of it.

DC film that Zack Snyder wants to direct minus Henry Cavill

The new DC, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, is not only developing a new universe but also a new star cast to star in those films. The most well-known of these films was Superman, which starred Henry Cavill and was introduced by Snyder in 2013. Now that the dynamics in the new DCU have completely changed, the filmmaker revealed that if James Gunn brought him back into the DC universe, he would only be interested in making The Dark Knight Returns adaptation.

In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the director stated that if his “buddy (James Gunn)” calls him back, he would only want to do a realistic rendition of the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel. However, in the midst of all of this, the director is presently working on his upcoming Rebel Moon, which, based on the great praise the teaser has received, will be a well-liked film.

This interview comes after the iconic director has been riding high on the popularity of his Rebel Moon teaser for Netflix. Further, this relationship is significant for both the streaming service and the filmmaker.
