Henry Cavill in talks to play Superman again

According to Deadline, Henry Cavill is in talks to reprise his role as Superman in the Warner Bros DCEU.

Cavill has always been positive towards the role and has made it clear, that he would love to come back. As and when the studio need him.

The news comes just a week after Zack Snyder announced his cut of Justice League, will stream on HBO Max.

It looks like Cavill’s return won’t be for a man of steel sequel, but as a supporting character in other films. The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman 1984 are already in the can, so if I were a betting man, I’d place money on him showing up in Black Adam, and Shazam 2. With a possible cameo in The Flash.

What’s interesting, is that Cavill started hitting the gym again yesterday…

Film Review-Shazam!

Shazam! is a refreshing addition to the DC universe that brings a fun and lighthearted tone to the typically darker franchise. This origin story and the coming-of-age film follows Billy Batson, a teenage orphan who discovers he is the “chosen one” and gains the power to transform into a buff, adult superhero named Shazam (played by Zachary Levi). Along with his foster brother Freddy (played by Jack Dylan Grazer), Billy must save the world from the evil Dr Thaddeus Sivana (played by Mark Strong) and the seven deadly sins.

The relationship between Billy and Freddy is a standout element of the film, with Freddy serving as a mentor to Billy as he navigates his new powers and identity as a superhero. The other foster siblings also bring charm and personality to their limited roles. While Mark Strong shines as the main antagonist, the representation of the seven deadly sins falls a bit flat in their gargoyle-like redesign.

Beyond the fun superhero action, Shazam! also delivers a heartwarming message about family and belonging. Billy learns that family is not just about blood relations, but about the people who choose to embrace and support us. This coming-of-age story is a great addition to the film’s themes.

Overall, Shazam! is a delightful movie that balances mature themes with humour and camp. It stands out among the other DC films and offers hope for more lighthearted entries in the franchise. With great lead and supporting characters, cameos, and post-credits scenes, it’s worth a watch.
