Following his well-publicised but still spoilery SPOILER* Henry Cavill has confirmed that he will indeed be returning to the role of ‘Superman.’

Cavill stated via his social media; “A very small taste of what’s to come, my friends. The dawn of hope renewed. Thank you for your patience, it will be rewarded.”

Though there are no writers or director attached, the intention is for Cavill to star in at least one more solo Superman movie following on from 2013’s ‘Man of Steel’. Other movie appearances in DC film projects could potentially follow.

* SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW.

Cavill’s cameo in ‘Black Adam’ was a last-minute addition after previous DC film boss Walter Hamada denied any possibility of a cameo. It wasn’t until after Warners chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy started their jobs in July, and Hamada began plans for his exit, that star Dwayne Johnson was able to go around Hamada’s back straight to De Luca and Abdy who finally gave the green light to bring Cavill back into the fold.
