There have been a lot of head-scratching decisions made at Warner Bros. when it comes to their DC Films slate. They’ve done the opposite of Marvel, launching with two team-up movies — “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice” and “Suicide Squad” — rather than building toward them, and their upcoming slate includes solo movies for The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, and Batman. However, their most well-known and beloved character, Superman, strangely enough still remains to side. But that seems to be changing.

This summer, news arrived that development had started on a new, standalone Superman movie. And while exact details are still not known — it hasn’t yet been revealed who’s writing the script or will be directing the picture — Henry Cavill‘s manager Dany Garcia has confirmed that her client will get another solo superhero adventure.
“Henry has a big appetite,” she told Newsweek about his Hollywood ambitions. “We’ve been in a five-month period of time where he’s re-strategizing, acquiring property , he’s filming [‘Justice League‘] now, he’s in development for the Superman standalone… he’s beginning to expand that world. It’s beautifully teed up. In a year from now, or two years from now, he’s going to be a force globally.”
Well, I’m not sure sure about Cavill as a global force just yet, but it seems things are happening for the actor, and he’s going to be key part of the DC Films universe — as Superman really should be. [via Flickering Myth]
