The return of Henry Cavill as the Last Son of Krypton has already raised internet storms. But as he returns to the DCU, the odds are very slim of having him in another notable franchise. Building on this scenario, the Enola Holmes The star revealed that his busy Superman schedule will be a big obstacle even if he wants to be part of any other major franchise.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s introduction to DC in black adam has changed a lot for the House of Superman. Due to the unison of the former WWE wrestler’s repeated efforts and the studio’s change in management, Henry Cavill is finally back as Clark Kent. And this time, hopefully, his reign will last much longer.
The DCU timeline is Henry Cavill’s current priority
For a long time it was very doubtful that the witcher whether or not the actor would return to his Superman boots. It was during this time that the actor would have starred in many prominent roles such as James Bond and Wolverine. Cavill is even rumored to appear in the second season of the MCU Loki. But now with black adam turning the tables, all rumors are thus quashed or set aside to be thought about in the distant future.

Appearing in an interview with USA Today, Henry Cavill revealed that while he’s very excited to read about all these fan castings, unfortunately, time is a huge factor here.
“It’s hugely flattering to read these articles that pop up all the time about Bond and who’s the favourite. I appreciate that, of course. But it all depends on how much time I have, and those roles have to be respected and a lot of work You can’t just go from iconic to iconic without having time to prepare for it.
As the Immortals The actor made a big statement about not committing to various iconic roles all at once, the already dwindling odds of seeing him as 007 finally seem to have come to an end. Interestingly, Henry Cavill was rejected for the role of Bond, before Daniel Craig was drafted into the franchise.

Recently we also lost Henry Cavill from his other iconic role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix the witcher as he is set to leave the show after its third season. But with recent shifts in the dynamics of the DCU’s leadership, Henry Cavill’s Superman future looks brighter than ever.
A preview of Henry Cavill’s upcoming projects
Despite the loss of James Bond, fans will spot the Steel man actor as a spy in his next film Argyle. Director Matthew Vaughn will present the Mission: Impossible – Fallout star as an amnesiac spy in action.
During the same interview, when Cavill was asked if this would be the closest we’ll be watching him as a 007-esque character, he replied:
“Who knows, I guess time will tell. We need to have this slightly larger than life character in play that we could really have fun with.
Next Argyle, the actor will also find his UNCLE man director Guy Ritchie for a World War II action adventure titled The unkind War Department.

Other than that, his Superman future also looks very bright after Black Adam. With a sequel to Zack Snyder’s director Steel man apparently in development with most details still shrouded in mystery, it’s also expected to make several appearances in the DCU. The actor himself made it clear that this time Superman is going to dominate the screens for a long time, and with a visionary like James Gunn sitting at the table, many more surprises are expected.
Currently, Henry Cavill can be seen as a very different take on Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes 2, streaming exclusively on Netflix.
