Henry Cavill’s iteration of Superman has been in the headlines a lot as of late, amid speculation of when and how he would return to the role, after Cavill appeared in the post-credits scene of Black Adam earlier this fall. Earlier this week, we seem to have gotten our answer, with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirming that the upcoming plans for the universe will involve a younger version of the character not portrayed by Cavill. This news definitely broke the hearts of a lot of DC fans, after reports indicated that Warner Bros. film executives Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca had heard a pitch for a new Superman film starring Cavill from Man of Steel producer Charles Roven and Peaky Blinders’ creator Steve Knight, but ultimately passed on it, and decided to wait for Gunn and Safran to figure out their plans before hearing other pitches.
