Henry Cavill says he would not rule out playing Superman again
The actor also described his daughter recognizing him in a Superman toy, a moment he said made his experience in the role especially meaningful.
Henry Cavill has not ruled out another turn as Superman, telling Inverse in an interview published November 11 that he sees opportunities in the character’s stories and fondly remembers playing him.
The 43-year-old actor portrayed Superman from 2013 through his final appearance in 2022. His comments expressed openness to returning rather than announcing a new project.
Cavill also recalled his daughter identifying a Superman toy as her father. He said she was 2 years and 4 months old and did not yet know who Superman was. He described being moved by her reaction, connecting it to his earlier experiences meeting young fans while playing the character.
In 2022, Cavill said a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran had established that he would not return, despite the studio previously asking him to announce a comeback. His appearance as Superman in Black Adam had come just weeks before that statement. David Corenswet was subsequently cast in the role.
