While his take on Superman hasn't been seen since 2017's Justice League, there have been many rumors surrounding actor Henry Cavill returning to the role for future films. Although Cavill -- who's reportedly in talks to play the Man of Steel again in a smaller capacity -- has been quiet about those rumors, the actor recently opened up about his time on Justice League and how difficult it was for him to promote the movie.
During an appearance on The Empire Film Podcast, Cavill discussed how, in spite of being a major part of its plot, his participation in Justice League was classified.
"It was one of those weird situations where I guess… no one really knew what they wanted," Cavill said, "and it was like 'hey, we need Henry on the press tour, but let’s not tell anyone he’s in the movie.'"
"I was like: 'Okay, well, it’s going to be super awkward for me, guys. Thank you for giving me an impossible scenario,'" he continued. "'I’m just going to say to people [on the press tour]: Well, yeah, I was here for moral support. I made the tea.'"
Cavill also joked that he "'made the tea for an entire movie,'" and that he's pretty sure no one bought it.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity, and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly-awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes in Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash, it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.
