Henry Cavill hints at Superman return: "Never say never"
Henry Cavill weighed in on whether he could return as Superman in the DCU — and you’ll want to hear where he lands.
Asked point-blank if he’d ever slip back into the cape, Henry Cavill didn’t shut the door. In a new conversation with Inverse about the state of DC on screen, the actor said he’s open to the idea if the stars ever align.
"Look, there's lots of fantastic storylines. There's always a lot of opportunity... I would never say never now."
Cavill played Superman across nearly a decade — from Man of Steel through Justice League — before DC Studios shifted direction under new leadership and recast the role. James Gunn ’s rebooted DC Universe now has David Corenswet wearing the “S,” and Cavill isn’t part of that lineup. Still, his “never say never” keeps the question alive for fans who watched his Kal‑El define a generation.
New Netflix team‑up
While the Superman speculation simmers, Cavill’s next move is lighter on spandex and heavier on laughs. He’s set to co‑star with Kevin Hart in a new Netflix spy comedy, with fresh casting continuing to stack the deck.
Per Variety, the ensemble now includes:
- Jason Isaacs
- Justine Lupe
- Aja Naomi King
The movie follows two rival spies who unexpectedly meet at a Lamaze class, where their wives become friends. That awkward overlap drags the agents into each other’s lives until circumstance turns competitors into confidants — all while they try to stay alive through a string of dangerous situations. It ’s the first on‑screen pairing for Hart and Cavill.
Netflix hasn’t announced a release date yet.
