Zack Snyder’s New Henry Cavill Superman Images Revive Fan Campaigns as DCU Holds Course

DC Studios says the new continuity remains centered on David Corenswet despite Snyder’s nostalgic Instagram posts.

Overview

  • Snyder, newly active on Instagram, shared fresh black‑and‑white shots of Henry Cavill in costume with captions such as “pure Superman” and “Henry in his natural setting.”
  • He also posted photos of Ben Affleck, Jared Leto, and Joe Manganiello in their Snyder‑era roles, prompting fan speculation about a possible Snyderverse return without any official confirmation.
  • Netflix promotional art featuring Cavill’s Superman alongside Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam circulated recently, adding to public chatter around Cavill’s status.
  • James Gunn has reiterated that Cavill was not cast in the rebooted DC Universe, called the earlier confusion unfair to the actor, and said he would like to cast Cavill in a different role.
  • The new DCU launched with Superman (2025) starring David Corenswet, which earned roughly $615–616 million, as fans continue to debate canon choices ahead of the announced Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in 2026.
