Henry Cavill has said he's open to playing Superman again. The former Man of Steel actor was asked about the possibility amidst the news of upheaval at DC Studios as Peter Safran and James Gunn step down as heads.
"Look, there's lots of fantastic storylines," Cavill replied when asked if he'd don the suit again by Inverse. "There's always a lot of opportunity. As the pigeon sang to Fievel in An American Tail, 'never say never.' And I buy into that. I've had such a wonderful time playing Superman in the past. I would never say never now."
The former DC actor also shared a sweet story about how playing the superhero still impacts his daily life. "Sometimes people send my daughter Superman stuff as a joke," he explained. "Just the other day, we opened this Superman toy, and she looked at it and said, 'It's Dada!' She's only two years and four months, so no idea how she knows that's me; what kind of cosmic connection that was. But it really touched my heart in a special way, because obviously playing Superman was such an honor."
Currently, Superman is played by David Corenswet, who has appeared in two movies: Superman and Supergirl. He's set to reprise the role in the upcoming Man of Tomorrow, but it's not yet clear if that will be his final appearance.
In a statement about his exit, Gunn said that the characters he created will live on. However, other reports have suggested that under new leadership, DC will be rebooted once again. Jeremy Latcham, DC Studios' new head, has yet to lay out an official plan but has spoken in the past about his approach to movies being governed by his grandmother.
