Henry Cavill has stated that he's still open to the idea of playing Superman following all the shake-ups at DC Studios.
In an interview with Inverse, Cavill was asked if he'd ever be interested in playing Superman again, and the interviewer suggested the Kingdom Come storyline as a possibility. Cavill noted he would never say never to the idea, and that there are a lot of "fantastic storylines" to adapt for Superman.
"Look, there's lots of fantastic storylines. There's always a lot of opportunity. As the pigeon sang to Fievel in An American Tail, 'never say never.' And I buy into that. I’ve had such a wonderful time playing Superman in the past. I would never say never now."
Of course, the timing of these comments could not come at a more interesting moment. If this happened a week ago, no one would've thought much of it. However, earlier this week, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran were ousted from the company. They remain on board until December 1, when a new head, Jeremy Latcham, will take over. Latcham is expected to make changes to DC's direction, possibly resulting in a reboot, though that has yet to be firmly decided. His ultimate vision, however, is to focus on DC's mainstream characters in an effort to quickly assemble the Justice League on the big screen.
Presumably, they'll wait until James Gunn's Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, hits theaters in July to make a decision on whether they'll reboot or recast this DC universe.
