Henry Cavill has not given up hope of donning the iconic red cape as Superman. The actor portrayed the superhero who arrived on Earth from the distant planet Krypton nearly nine years. However, after a leadership change at DC Studios, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over, Cavill was dropped from the role. 

The duo cast David Corenswet as Superman for the rebooted DC Universe. Despite this, Cavill's future in the franchise is still being discussed. Moreover, he recently gave a surprising response when asked whether he would return to DC Studios.

Henry Cavill recently sat down for an interview with Inverse, where he was asked about the shocking leadership shake-up at DC Studios. James Gunn and Peter Safran, who were the creative minds behind the rebooted DC Universe, have exited the studio. So, the actor was asked about the potential for him to reprise his role in the future under new leadership.

"Look, there's lots of fantastic storylines. There's always a lot of opportunity... I would never say never now,” he responded.

Although nothing has been confirmed so far, with the DCU currently facing major uncertainty, one thing is certain, as per the recent interview,  and that is that Henry Cavill is interested in taking up the role. Although he is no longer playing Superman, the actor has continued to take on the role of a detective, spy, and more in various films. He is now in talks to play a spy in a new comedy movie.
