Superman from the 2013 Man of Steel wants to come back to the DC Extended Universe. But it is not Henry Cavill.

A Man of Steel Return? Ex-Superman Actor Wants to Take Up the Mantle Yet Again in the New DC Universe, and It Is Not Henry Cavill

There are a lot of discussions and speculations going on around Henry Cavill
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] and his replacement in the DC
Universe as Superman. James Gunn has already made it clear the British actor
will not reprise the role as he wants to take Superman’s story in another
direction. Therefore, a former Man of Steel actor has expressed his desire to
come back to the franchise to reprise Superman.

In 2013, Man of Steel saw Cavill surviving in the world of humans and embracing
his superpowers. However, the actor who portrayed the younger Clark Kent, Dylan
Sprayberry, said to SFX
[https://www.gamesradar.com/man-of-steel-superman-dylan-sprayberry-return/] that
he wishes to portray young Superman one more time. He said he is open to the
possibility of getting cast as Clark Kent in Superman Legacy. However, Gunn
hasn’t announced who would portray the young Superman till now. But if
Sprayberry opts to play the role, he might be a natural choice given that he’s
already worked as Superman in the 2013 film previously.

franchise. What does Dylan Sprayberry have to say about it?

YOUNG SUPERMAN DYLAN SPRAYBERRY SPOKE HIGHLY ABOUT HENRY CAVILL

In his interview, the Teen Wolf star said he grew up admiring the
larger-than-life characters. He said if it made sense to play a younger version
of the man with a cape, it would be fun for him. Given he has already done it
previously, Sprayberry would love to continue the storyline. He even loved
Wolverine when he was a child.



In 2013, Man of Steel featured Dylan Sprayberry as young Clark Kent in his
teenage years. While talking about the film, the young actor spoke very highly
about The Witcher [http://netflixjunkie.com/ta/the-witcher/] star. He also
adored working with the director of the film, Zack Snyder. The actor already has
a great rapport with the members of the studio and the team of the film. Because
he has already portrayed the character, he is familiar with the essence of the
character as well.
