Despite Henry Cavill being out of DC as Superman

Henry Cavill as Joe-EI? &#8216;Superman Legacy&#8217; Leads Fans to Put Down Their Theories About the Actor’s Future in DC

Fans are clearly still not giving up on Henry Cavill
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]. The actor broke a million
hearts when he announced his exit as Superman. Especially since the news came
after news about Man of Steel 2. With James Gunn taking over, the plans of his
decade-long change for DC started unraveling. His ideas were different from that
of Zack Snyder when it came to Superman. Now the hunt for a younger replacement
for Cavill continues with a few actors online on the shortlist.

There is both skepticism and excitement to see what Gunn brings in with Superman
Legacy. However, that has not stopped fans from trying to fit in Cavill
somewhere as the superhero is set to return to the screens without the actor.
While DC deals with the pressure of nursing fans, the fans themselves cannot
help but find a way to Cavill in the movie.

One, in particular, suggests that Cavill should play the role of Superman’s
father, Jor-El. Fans feel that it would honor the legacy of Superman that way
and that he could pass the torch to the next actor playing Superman. Now, the
40-year-old has been considered the ideal Superman for years, so his ‘passing
the torch’ in a way could be seen as his blessing. Perhaps, in a way, relieve
his loyal fans as they adjust to seeing a new face in the red cape.

But that only led Twitterati to come up with several ideas of how Cavill could
fit in the series, and whether that is even a good idea.


TWITTERATI RESPONDS TO THE IDEA OF HENRY CAVILL PLAYING JOE-EL WITH THEIR OWN
IDEAS

Henry Cavill as Joe-El? That is an idea that one fan has for James Gunn’s
upcoming Superman Legacy. One even described this as ‘poetic’ because then
Cavill could play Superman’s biological father while Tom Welling, who played the
lead in Smallville, could play his ‘human dad’.

Another one suggests that the previous actors who played Superman be part of
‘Supermen in the multiverse’. But then, not everyone agrees with it.

Considering the abrupt way that Cavill walked out of Man of Steel 2, many wonder
if he would even agree to play the part now. Now there are reports of him
starring in and producing Warhammer
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-warhammer-40000-starring-henry-cavill-has-a-lot-to-choose-from-here-is-the-perfect-storyline-for-the-highly-anticipated-show/],
and focusing on that new franchise.
