Henry Cavill is back as Superman in the DCU. But there have been a lot of changes since the last time he was in the blue and red suit. The main different thing is leadership. Right now, James Gunn and Peter Safran are leading the DC universe. And Henry Cavill wants to sit with one CEO to talk about his place in the DC film universe.

Henry Cavill’s triumphant return in Black Adam’s mid-credit scene made fans jubilant. And now, with rumours of a Superman movie in the works, the hype is through the roof. But before stepping into the suit for a solo Superman movie again, Cavill wants to have long talks with DC co-CEO James Gunn.

James Gunn is a comic book aficionado and the director behind MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies. He has also directed The Suicide Squad movie and The Peacemaker show under the DC banner. So Gunn has been a part of both the mega franchises.

Recently, David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, declared Gunn and Safran the co-CEOs OF DC Films. November 1st, 2022 was the first day he assumed his new duties and took over charge of DC. Fans are hoping that he will steer it in a new direction.

During an interview with IGN, Henry Cavill talked about his wish to meet James Gunn. He said:

“I haven’t met James yet. I’m really looking forward to meeting him. He’s a very talented man, and I can’t wait to sit down and have long, long conversations with him. I’m very excited for any future opportunities in the that we can work together.”

What Kind Of Superman Movie Is Getting Made?

With Henry’s return, a Superman movie is bound to happen, and maybe that’s why Cavill is so insistent on having long talks with James Gunn, the new boss of DC Films. As for what kind of Superman movie it will be, will the hero be broody like in Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman, or will he be more lighthearted?

There’s no way to confirm till official sources say something. But Henry Cavill knows what kind of Superman he wants to play. In the IGN interview, he said:

“What really draws me to Superman is that he represents the best of the human soul, the greatest of the human soul. It’s not just his powers. It’s his heart. It’s his heart that makes him so special. And even when he’s going through things, he continues to give to others. He continues to protect others. He is the one who always reaches out and always gives. And in that, there is a lot of wonder and power. And it is something so joyful, as I say, that it is not a mournful weight.”

It looks like Cavill wants a joyful Superman full of light and hope. It remains to be seen whether his wishes ultimately come true or not.
