Henry Cavill has not ruled out a return to the role of Superman. In a recent interview with Inverse, the actor was asked about the possibility of reprising the role amid the leadership changes at DC Studios, where Peter Safran and James Gunn are stepping down as heads.

Cavill responded by saying there are many fantastic storylines and opportunities. He quoted a line from the film An American Tail, stating, "never say never." He added that he had a wonderful time playing Superman in the past and would not close the door on it now.

Cavill also shared a personal moment about how the role still affects his life. He described opening a Superman toy with his two-year-old daughter, who recognized the character and said, "It's Dada!" Cavill said he does not know how she made that connection, but it touched his heart deeply, as playing Superman was such an honor.

Currently, David Corenswet plays Superman in the DC universe, having appeared in two films: Superman and Supergirl. He is set to return in the upcoming Man of Tomorrow, though it remains unclear if that will be his final appearance. The new head of DC Studios has yet to outline an official plan.
