Perhaps there is no one more excited to see the return of Henry Cavill if Superman then Man of Steel director Zack Snyder. After Cavill recently returned to the role of Superman, the actor formally announced that he is back and will remain as the Man of Steel for a while. The news has clearly excited many fans, and that expectation has been extended to Snyder, who is eager to see his favorite Superman back in action.
Per THRCavill took part in an interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz on 92nd Street Y in New York on Wednesday. He was surprised with a special video recorded by Snyder, addressing the return of the Man of Steel. After asking Cavill to explain what it felt like to film his flying scenes as Superman, Snyder further stated how eager he was to reunite with Cavill for a new project, while touting him as the greatest Superman actor of them all. As Snyder said:
“I can’t wait to work with you in the future, and of course you are the best Superman ever.”
Touched by the support, Cavill responded.
“He’s a lovely man, and I’m extremely grateful for everything he’s done for me, especially by casting me in Man of Steel. Those are formative memories of me, career-wise. It was then that everything changed. And I remember me them lovingly… Great memories and a lot to be thankful for, so Zack… thank you. Thank you, my friend.”
Is Man of Steel 2 going to take place?
We now have Henry Cavill back in the DC Universe in his Superman role, but does that mean? Man of Steel 2 will finally happen? This has been something fans have been clamoring for for years, but it was only recently, thanks in part to The Rock’s great efforts, that Cavill’s comeback was finally allowed to take place. With new leadership overseeing all upcoming DC-based projects, it certainly seems possible that more could be coming, especially as Snyder notes that he can’t wait to work with Cavill again. Why not on another? Man of Steel movie?
That said, Superman may have other things to take care of first. He’s in the sights of The Rock’s Black Adam for an eventual crossover, and we can bet it’s going to be an epic battle. Black Adam actor Aldis Hodge has pitched a trilogy of films that led to a Black Adam vs. Superman fight, while Dwayne Johnson also teased that fans will be seeing a lot more of Cavill’s Superman. In any case, the Man of Steel is back and wherever he shows up, fans will be ready with open arms.
