According to a recent report on the DC cinematic universe, Walter Hamada, the previous head of DC films, attempted to obstruct Henry Cavill’s comeback as Superman. It is also said that over the past several years, Hamada has worked to advance DC past the Zack Snyder period. We can thank Dwayne Johnson and Warner Bros. Discovery for the comeback of Henry Cavill as Superman.
THR reports thatMan of Steel 2is in the works, with Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman. Also, James Gunn is working on secret DC projects,The Batmandirector Matt Reeves is working on projects based onBatman’s rogue gallery, and a script forThe Flashsequel has already been written.

Henry Cavill and Superman were not originally cast in Black Adam
Regarding Henry Cavill’s comeback as Superman, THR indicates that Cavill and Superman were not originally planned forBlack Adam. The idea forHenry Cavillto reprise his role as Superman inBlack Adamwas conceived during a series of reshoots for the film earlier this year.
However, Walter Hamada had dropped Henry Cavill’sBlack Adamcameo to move on from Zack Snyder’s DCEU, where Snyder“had enormous control and could command a whole slate for years.”
Furthermore, instead of bringing back Henry Cavill as Superman, Hamada was said to have gone with J.J. Abrams and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Superman.
Following Hamada’s rejection of Dwayne Johnson’s idea for bringing Henry Cavill as Superman inBlack Adam, Johnson went to Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy – Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s choice to head WB – who approved the Henry CavillBlack Adamcameo.
Walter Hamada is now departing WB and did not even attend theBlack Adampremiere in NYC on October 12. He will also not continue to be involved as a WB producer, even though the tradition is that executives who are let go at WB are given a producing agreement with the studio, so that is something significant.
