The movie will not be an origin story, and Henry Cavill will not reprise his role. Cavill himself confirmed the news saying that "My turn to wear the cape has passed.". He further detailed the news on his Instagram account:
Meanwhile, Gunn hasn't exactly ruled out working with Cavill in the future. Here are the complete tweets sent out by Gunn about the project:
"Peter and I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn’t be more over-the-moon about; we’ll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year."
"Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill."
"But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future".
It is also being reported that Gunn and Safran are in talks with Ben Affleck to stay in the DC family as a director, however "no deal is in place for him to helm a DC feature at this stage". In the meantime, Affleck will reprise his Batman role in "The Flash", which will open in theaters on June 16, 2023.
Gunn and Safran plan to unveil their full DC plan in January but are taking meetings with various talent connected to the universe to share their vision as they sort out a more cohesive plan for the comic-book brand stretching across all mediums.
