Yes, Henry Cavill is coming back as Superman/Clark Kent. And he doesn’t cavil about it.

Henry has left three Instagram messages the size of Kryptonite chunks. First, he talked about a chat he had with Zack Snyder about the director’s infamous “Justice League” cut, coming in 2021. Then he posted a picture of himself in the gym. And then there’s his dog, Kal, named for Superman’s birth name, Kal-El. What more do you need? Will his return be more than just the “Justice League” reboot? I think so. He’s a great Superman. All he needs is a terrific “Man of Steel” script. And who doesn’t love the rest of that cast, starting with Amy Adams?
