Amidst the staggering announcement of the DCU transformation, it is revealed that plans for bringing Henry Cavill as Superman almost started.

Reports Reveal Henry Cavill’s Superman Already Had a Writer in Steven Knight, the Creator of &#8216;Peaky Blinders&#8217;

Not long ago, Henry Cavill announced his return to DCU as the most beloved
incarnation of Superman. However, the recent decisions taken by the co-CEOs of
DC Studios have put his prospects at risk. James Gunn and Peter Safran have
canceled Wonder Woman 3, and it won’t be moving forward. DC fans are enraged by
these changes and fear they might also cancel the sequel of Man of Steel.



Although viewers were aware that DCU has been evolving and changing all these
years since they don’t have a cohesive connected universe, the reboot plan might
be the biggest overhaul and fans clearly don’t want that. And this latest news
would come as a shock to many that the Superman project already had a writer in
Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders.


STEVEN KNIGHT PROPOSED A SCRIPT FOR THE LONG AWAITED REVIVAL OF HENRY CAVILL 

According to the latest report presented by The Hollywood Reporter
[https://view.email.hollywoodreporter.com/?qs=27dca022a3daaae65e34d5c9adf6995782cfc61eaab8e66bfca2252281f2c4f81e01033071a71a9c0ecc309f5e4c7262de4febdb0635727011fb3e07e2b20074e11fc572b6d036b7],
it is revealed that Steven Knight “penned a treatment” for Man of Steel 2. Alas!
The word is that the notes submitted by the Peaky Blinders director failed to
impress Warner Bros.



There were chances that the screenwriting process might move forward and Knight
collaborate with another writer for the film. But the arrival of Gunn and Safran
put an end to that hopeful future. Since then, the development of Man of Steel 2
saw some delays and the chances of fans seeing Henry Cavill in Superman costume
are getting slimmer by the day.

Gunn recently confirmed they have been working on a new 10-year plan which
certainly has put the future of The Witcher star in a crisis. In the meantime,
dreams of the audience bringing him back are going to shatter now.



As for now, the only confirmed update is that Cavill’s project hit the shelves
due to creative upheaval. Therefore, viewers still have the chance to see him in
the Safran-Gunn vision of the DCU.
