Fresh off his unlikely return as the Man of Steel in Black Adam, Superman actor Henry Cavill has addressed the DC hero’s "bright future" – and teased a less dark version of the character.
"There is such a bright future ahead for the character, and I’m so excited to tell a story with an enormously joyful Superman," Cavill said during a live recording of the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Cavill, however, was reluctant to share further details – even though plans are seemingly slowly coming into place for the character.
"Right now I can’t share anything … but in time, I’ll be able to share and everyone will hear all the exciting things to come," Cavill said.
"I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman," Cavill said, revealing his Black Adam cameo was "just a very small taste of things to come."
He continued: "So there's a lot to be thankful for, and I'll get to that in time, but I wanted to thank you guys most of all. Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded."
DC is reportedly currently taking pitches for the next Superman movie – but no further details have been revealed. Given Cavill’s words, though, we could be in for a lighter version of the character than we have seen previously.
