\"\"If you’ve been following the DC Extended Universe, you know Superman’s presence has been felt throughout it. The shared universe started with\u00a0Man of Steel<\/strong>, expanded with\u00a0Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/strong>. Even after he was “killed” in that film, Superman was the reason why\u00a0Suicide Squad\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Justice League\u00a0<\/strong>got together. The question is? What happens to Superman after Henry Cavill fulfills his contract with\u00a0Man of Steel 2<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Collider<\/a> might have the answers. They share the rumor that Warners still wants Superman to be the glue of the DCEU, intending him to be featured in many of the DCEU films. They envision small but important cameos sort of like Nick Fury has in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n

However, Henry Cavill only has one film left on his contract with Warners, which is expected to be the currently in development\u00a0Man of Steel 2<\/strong>. Collider hears that the studio is currently in negotiations with the actor to extend that contract to fill their needs.<\/p>\n

Steve “Frosty” Weintraub of Collider had a chance to talk to Cavill at CinemaCon, where Cavill was promoting\u00a0Mission Impossible-Fallout<\/strong>, and brought this topic up. This is what Cavill said:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having a lot of conversations, behind-the-scenes, with certain people and we will hopefully be having conversations with other people who are also behind-the-scenes to make things start happening. It is very much in my desire to do a Man of Steel 2, a direct sequel to Man of Steel, and there is a whole bunch of Superman story that I want to tell. There is a whole style of Superman\u2019s character that I\u2019m very keen to tell and I\u2019m looking forward to the opportunity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s an enigmatic answer if there ever was one, but seems to confirm that contract extension negotiations are underway. Weintraub pressed him explicitly on the contract extension, and Cavill coyly states that no matter how many films are left on his contract, he’d still like to play the character.<\/p>\n
