James Gunn has discussed a potential return to the DC Universe with Henry Cavill, offering him a different role than Superman. The conversation took place during the chaotic early days of Gunn and Peter Safran’s tenure at DC Studios. Despite Cavill's brief return as Superman in Black Adam, Gunn and Safran decided to move forward with a new Superman film focused on a younger Clark Kent. The possibility of Cavill's return to the DC Universe is more tangible than ever, with Jason Momoa transitioning from Aquaman to Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl film. Gunn's successful reboot of Superman has created a stable environment for Cavill to potentially return to the franchise.
