RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Abraham Smashington]

I mean, that's all it needs to be.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Henry Cavill is rumored for a return to the DCEU as Superman, joining the MCU and/or being added to House of the Dragon.

Can we please pick a lane with what bullshit rumor we want to push, Film Twitter??

CAVILL AS SUPES OR I KILL MYSELF

[FilmNerdJamie]

There's a new rumor about Cavill being Superman again every 6 months.

[Matt]

I won't believe anything on Cavill until there's a press release.

[Abraham Smashington]

I know it's not going to probably happen, but I'd still dig at least one more Supes movie with him in it. I fucking still love Man of Steel.

[Matt]

Oddly enough, MOS was on one of the pay channels (HBO, probably) and I caught the last half hour or so of it.
Cavill deserves another one and I think he has enough inherent good will in the role to draw an audience with another one.

[FilmNerdJamie]

I liked Cavill (in Man of Steel). But he had three shots at the batter's plate and missed every time. Compare that to the single chance Brandon Routh got. The fact is the public didn't take to him and his films.

The best move now is to take The Batman approach to Supes.

[Abraham Smashington]

But if we're comparing Brandon and Henry they both come down to scripts/director. Brandon was a good Supes in the Arrowverse but that movie was terrible. Cavill was a good Supes in the movies but people hate Snyder/Wheadon.

Out of those two actors, Henry is a much, much, much better Supes than Brandon imo. But people just didn't take to Snyder (which I get but disagree about). Doesn't mean he shouldn't be given another movie. however, fuck it, throw Cavill into the MCU, and find a random person to be Supes going forward. I'm fine if they do a take on it like they did The Batman but I legit love Cavill as Supes.

[Abraham Smashington]

I still would not mind seeing All Star Superman done as a film as close the material as possible. I kind of loved that story and that would be something they could do that could in theory feel new and fresh.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Apparently the original plan for Man of Steel was in fact The Batman but for Supes with everything established, and done closer to the vein of John Byrne.

But because of the Siegel/Shuster lawsuits and them having to retread the origin for legal reasons, it got thrown out.

If it were me, I'd definitely go Byrne and seriously take a look at Austin Stowell (has that All-American look/vibe and worked for Spielberg twice) for Superman.

Realistically, it wouldn't be till 2025 for another movie, and it's just been too long since Cavill last wore the suit.

[Martin]

Cavill was the best Superman.

Man of Steel is still really good.

[B_Metal]

My biggest gripe with MoS was the big fight over PERFECTLY FLAT GROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESTROYED CITY. WTF

[Anderson]

Cavill will never be Superman again. Bank on it.

Speaking of Bank, there is an underlying reason why Marvel announced everything but core info on Blade, F4 and Nova.

  Spoiler: It's a rich man's world. 

The people they want, want to get PAAAAAAIIIIIDDDD.

Fuck, they shared more about Cap: NWO than they planned on doing.
