Oh, rumors rumors rumors. If we’re to believe all the rumors flying around, Henry Cavill is OUT as Superman and likely won’t be donning the cape ever again. Then again, there’s been no official announcement…but we all know how long it took Warner Bros. to finally announce that Ben Affleck wouldn’t be playing the Caped Crusader again, so you can almost never believe anything anyone ever says ever. Ever.
But here we are, talking about Henry Cavill. In spite of those rumors involving J.J. Abrams rebooting the character again so that he can exist in the same world as Robert Pattinson’s Batman, Henry Cavill seems adamant that he will take on the role again.

“The cape is in the closet,” Cavill told Men’s Health. “It’s still mine.”
Cavill continued:
“I’m not just going to sit quietly in the dark as all this stuff is going on. I’ve not given up the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. A lot of storytelling to do. A lot of real, true depths to the honesty of the character I want to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me. There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.”
Again, you can point to the whole Ben Affleck thing, but I don’t recall Affleck saying anything remotely as passionate as what we’re getting from Cavill here. Cavill does seem to have a genuine love for the role, and I know I’m not alone in thinking that it’s worth seeing what further adventures are in store for Cavill’s Man of Steel.
