This week, DC elongated Universe fans were rocked by the reports that Henry Cavill is retiring as Superman and rejection the shared superhero universe. To be clear, this still hasn't been officially confirmed, and the video Cavill posted hours after the news broke agreed didn't positive things up. Nevertheless, this behind-the-scenes anxiety has generated a lot of conversation, gone one of the huge question posed instinctive who might succeed Cavill as the Man of Steel. Well, now Dean Cain has thrown his hat into the proverbial ring, and unlike the additional candidates, he already has Superman experience under his assistant thanks to the Lois & Clark TV series.
It's been more than 20 years back Lois & Clark: The additional Adventures of Superman left the airwaves, and a lot has happened gone Superman, particularly in the live accomplishment realm. Smallville took Kal-El/Clark Kent on a every other kind of superhero journey, Superman Returns brought him help to the huge screen in an adventure taking place after the first two Superman movies, and Man of Steel rebooted through the feel through a darker lens and gone launched the DCEU. But even after every this time, Dean Cain wants it known that he's ready to reprise Superman now that he's done his "long vacation" and his son is an adult. And if playing Superman in a additional movie doesn't accomplishment out, Cain moreover threw in rebooting Lois & Clark as an every other on his Twitter post. 'Continuation' would be the augmented classification. After all, the series did stop on a cliffhanger, therefore it would be engaging to see Cain help in the cape and Teri Hatcher reprising Lois Lane, especially final how many shows from decades gone are instinctive revived nowadays.
Obviously the chances of Dean Cain taking greater than as the DCEU's Superman are bordering to impossible, but fortunately for the actor, he did recently have the opportunity to jump help into the Super-mythology through the Supergirl TV series. There he portrayed Jeremiah Danvers, Kara Zor-El's adoptive father who was originally thought to have died saving J'onn J'onzz (a.k.a. Martian Manhunter), but was revealed in Season 2 to still be alive, albeit cybernetically enhanced and motivated to assist Project Cadmus. One would imagine Dean will reprise Jeremiah another time in Supergirl, and who knows, maybe they'll find an defense to plaster an 'S' shield on his chest. Cain moreover voiced Jonathan Kent, Supes' adoptive father, in 2016's DC Super Hero Girls: Hero of the Year.
As far and wide as this entire sum Henry Cavill business goes, supposedly Warner Bros had been functioning to acquire the actor to reprise Superman for a Shazam! cameo, and after that didn't accomplishment out either due to schedule conflicts or money, after that the open closed on him playing the Man of Steel post-Justice League. However, yesterday it was reported that news of Cavill's exit is premature, and that there conveniently hasn't been any discussions recently around the actor's forward-thinking as Superman back Man of Steel 2 isn't in alert development. In additional words, this bill isn't done just yet.
