James Gunn openly discussed that,
“It’s on various news sites & I was asked about it. You might consider that this bile you think comes off in my post has more to do with your framing than what I’m actually saying. I’ve said in the past we’ve discussed other roles with Henry – just Frankenstein is not one of them”
Though Henry Cavill might not get to play a super famous character in the new DCU, taking into account Cavill’s fame in the industry, it will only be a matter of time before he turns a character into an international sensation. If only Cavill could go aboard the ship Gunn and Safran are forming, plenty of interesting roles will open up for Cavill, who has been a pillar for the DC universe with his role as the Man of Steel.
Superman Actor’s Time After His Exit From the DC Universe
Henry Cavill exited fromThe Witcherfranchise due to the variety of changes they brought in the script, deviating from the original novel by Andrzej Sapkowski. Cavill will still be starring as Geralt of Rivia for 3 seasons, which will be released this summer. Some say Cavill’s primary reason for his exit from the franchise was because he wanted to focus more on the Superman role after the cameo inBlack Adam,which drastically failed.
But after getting greeted by every obstacle one can have, Cavill has not deviated from his passion for acting and formed up his own franchise ofWarhammer 40,000 –which will be an adaptation of the game to a series. This time around, Cavill is backed by Amazon Studios and partnered up with Vertigo Entertainment as he bought the rights for the game over other companies, Cavill will be acting as an executive producer for the show as well as portraying a very important character in the adaptation.

Currently, as it seems, James Gunn and Peter Safran are open to having Henry Cavill among their ranks for their new DCU, it would be a waste if Cavill does not intend to return to the franchise as most of his fans, as well as the DC fans, are eagerly waiting for an official reply from either side. Though it might be a major question if theMan of Steelactor will be kept in the main timeline or in Chapter 1, which might seem possible even if discussions were followed through by both parties. Only time can tell what they have in store for themselves.
