had everyone on their toes when he announced the making of Man of Steel 2. But
after months of speculations, the actor formally announced that WB’s future
plans do not include him. While that left many people disheartened, there was
one question. Where can we expect to see Henry Cavill again?



The actor left his leading show The Witcher, leaving Liam Hemsworth to replace
him. While he may not return to that show, there is another show that could
bring Cavill back to Netflix. The prequel to David Fincher’s Chinatown could
show the actor in a new light.


HOW HENRY CAVILL COULD RETURN TO THE SERIES WITH DAVID FINCHER’S PREQUEL OF
CHINA TOWN

While WB’s door may have closed for Henry Cavill for good, he could return to
Netflix with another series. As per giantfreakinrobot,

about making a prequel series on Netflix. The original movie was made in 1974
starring Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson. We can expect to see Cavill recreating
the lead role of J.J. Gittes, donning a coat and a hat. If the role is
confirmed, it would be a major step ahead for the project. In an attempt to stay
as close to the original as possible,  Robert Townes will be returning to write
the prequel as well.



The original movie was based in the 20th century, revolving around the water
right in South Carolina, leading to the eventual formation of Los Angles. Gittes
is hired by a woman to find out whether her husband is cheating on her, but the
journey takes him on a path that will expose corruption, deceit, and murder. As
for Henry Cavill’s prequel, it may focus on the adventures of the detective from
before these events or be connected to the story.
