RUMOR MILL: Henry Cavill May Have Signed Up For Three SUPERMAN Movies And A Series Of Cameos

In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit.

According to The Cultured Nerd, The Witcher star Henry Cavill has signed a new deal with Warner Bros. to reprise his role as Superman in at least three projects focusing solely on the Man of Steel, and at least a few options for future cameos in other DC Extended Universe movies.

If true, that's massive, though it's hard to say why the trades wouldn't have caught wind of this first! Then again, the news that the directors of Bad Boys for Life would be working on Ms. Marvel was broken on a fan site similar to this one long before The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.

Cavill has made no secret of the fact he wants to return as Superman, and it sounds like this potential three-picture deal could even stretch to him having a leading role in something like Black Adam 2.

Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact artist BossLogic shared the following image of Cavill's Man of Steel shortly after this rumour surfaced with his agent, Dany Garcia, then sharing it on Instagram!

We'll keep you guys updated.

Weird how sometimes this site gets stuff up quickly, but then you have stuff like this, that other sites had days ago

Origame - 9/20/2020, 2:05 AM

I like how he put a description of "rumor mill" here when everyone kept complaining about how none of his sources have been reliable. I mean, is it really article worthy when you're admitting its one step above reddit?

Reeds2Much - 9/20/2020, 6:05 AM

@Origame - one step above reddit?

WGTC and TCN are both decidedly a step below reddit.

Origame - 9/20/2020, 6:10 AM

@Reeds2Much - im saying this based on what was in the description.

tmp3 - 9/20/2020, 2:09 AM

TheCulturedNerd is WGTC-tier garbage. A site that does nothing but post fake news.

Dredd97 - 9/20/2020, 8:35 AM

@tmp3 - This sounds like bs, but OT: did you watch The Devil All the Time?

tmp3 - 9/20/2020, 8:51 AM

@Dredd97 - I wish I had All The Time to watch these movies but final year of college feels like The Devil in how little recreational shit I can even do anymore. I’ll see it soon... hopefully. I handed in a pretty big essay 5 minutes before it was due and it was the most tense I’ve been since seeing Uncut Gems the first time

Dredd97 - 9/20/2020, 9:11 AM

@tmp3 - hahaha dude I feel you. Last year of college was the worst. I wanted to be done, but had too much to do to focus on that. Haha yikes, that's tough, man

KNIGHT3OOO - 9/20/2020, 2:19 AM

BEST NEWS ALL MONTH! Maybe even longer...

dracula - 9/20/2020, 2:23 AM

If its true Just get a better script and director.

For director get Jeff Nichols

Get Geoff Johns to co write the script

emeraldtaurus - 9/20/2020, 2:42 AM

If true....great! C Mc Quarry would be a good director.

SimplyAz - 9/20/2020, 2:43 AM

Really hope it's true, feel like we waited a long time for a MoS sequel and should have come out instead of BvS.

SimplyAz - 9/20/2020, 3:03 AM

My choice as Director would be Christopher Landon of Happy Death Day 1 & 2, Scouts guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.

Gravityle - 9/20/2020, 2:49 AM

While I'll take what TCN said with a grain of salt, I think this all but inevitable at this point. It's only a matter of when now it becomes official.
