When Henry Cavill donned his kryptonian suit for Black Adam, it brought with itself a plethora of new avenues for the DC Extended Universe to explore. Henry Cavill as the Man Of Steel is one of the most iconic superhero roles in the history of both Marvel and DC. Superman’s return to the DCEU has been a long time coming ever since his last outing in 2017 film Justice League. While Cavill did return for a cameo scene now, possibilities of Superman featuring in the future DC films are huge. And, an individual Superman film is most likely to happen. But, will we have a reboot of the Superman film rather than a sequel to the 2013 movie Man Of Steel?
