We all knew that Henry Cavill’s Superman couldn’t really be dead after the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and that he would return in the upcoming Justice League movie (possibly sporting a black suit as a nod to the “Death / Return of Superman” comics of the ’90s), but now we have even more pressing evidence that Superman is back in Justice League, and he’s sporting a hair style that may give harsh critics of Zack Snyder’s depiction of the character some renewed hope!
While doing his Supermanly duties and posing with some young fans for photos, Cavill and Co. may have inadvertently let two big cats out of the bag:
Our first real look at Cavill’s Superman – alive and well – in Justice League. Cavill’s Superman trading in his Man of Steel and BvS slicked-back hairdo for a classic s’curl!
Check out the Instagram photo – from a Hollywood luxury travel planner/mom – which is likely going to get DCEU fans in an uprorar! (Note: Some fans are claiming the photo is actually from the set of Batman v Superman – so this could be a developing story…) Cavill recently teased that black “resurrection suit” Superman wore in the ’90s comics, but fans have long wondered how we get the Man of Steel back: would it be the peaceful warrior of hope and justice fans have been clamoring to get back? Snyder’s more violent and brooding Superman? Or perhaps the “dark Superman” foretold in Bruce Wayne/Batman’s vision of a future Earth under the rule of the evil DC villain Darkseid?
Well, judging by the hair… I’d say good ol’ “Save a cat in a tree” Superman is on his way back to the screen.
We recently broke down the problems surrounding the DCEU, and our conclusion was that there is still plenty of room for this cinematic universe to evolve into something that better resembles the classic, core values of the comic books. There’s still time for Henry Cavill’s Superman to become the guy this Instagram photo makes him out to be. If that transition happens, then maybe the criticisms of MoS and BvS suddenly become the sort of big arc transition that makes cinematic shared universes worth the re-watch. Wouldn’t that be ironic?
Suicide Squad is now in theaters; Wonder Woman is coming on June 2, 2017; followed by Justice League on November 17, 2017; The Flash on March 16, 2018; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.

This is the one that the DC Extended Universe is building towards. Five years after The Avengers showed us that it was possible to pull off a non-mutant superhero team on the big screen, we’ll finally see a JusticeLeaguemovie. Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder is currently filming Justice League in the UK, with a script by Batman v Superman‘s Chris Terrio.
Justice League Movie Latest News
As the shoot continues for Justice League in London, a new picture from the set has shown Henry Cavill’s Superman once again. And notably, he’s got the signature Superman curl back. Take a look…
I see a red “S” and I want it painted black. At least that is apparently what Henry Cavill’s Kal-El is thinking in regards to his Superman costume for Justice League. While the character is still officially “dead,” as according to Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad, everybody knows that Clark Kent is returning for Zack Snyder’s much anticipated 2017 team-up. Yet to date, we have not seen any actual footage of him in the Justice League trailer from San Diego Comic-Con, nor did we catch a glimpse of his suit during our set visit last June.
Nonetheless, Cavill is definitely in League and now he has taken to Instagram to tease what fans of the “Reign of the Supermen” storyline always figured: Superman is coming back to life and taking a page from the follow-up story arc to “The Death of Superman.” In the comics, a newly resurrected Superman dons a sunlight-absorbing black suit in order to recover his powers faster.
In the below image, Cavill showcases the famous Kryptonian armor that looks a whole lot like chainmail, which has comprised his superhero costumes in both Man of Steeland Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, we have a glimpse of what Michael Wilkinson is cooking up for a newly risen Man of Tomorrow.
The first trailer for Justice League has arrived out of SDCC 2016! This is our first glimpse of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman working together on the big screen. Check out the trailer below:
Justice League Movie Story
Warner Bros. has released the first official synopsis for the movie. If you’re wondering what this one is all about, it’s laid out pretty clear here.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
From what we learned on our set visit, Batman begins assembling the Justice League after being inspired by Superman’s sacrifice at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. There will be plenty of parademons (you saw them in the nightmare sequence of BvS) who are kidnapping prominent scientists, as the team scrambles to find three Mother Boxes on Earth, which have been divided between humans, Atlanteans, and Amazons.
Notable by his absence on our set visit was Henry Cavill’s Superman. “I wanted to get to a Superman that had a reason to be Superman, you know?,” Zack Snyder said. “Like a reason to feel the way he felt about humanity or the way that we all understand from the comic books, as far as his moral compass goes, he’s pretty much the thing. But I feel like he had to go through something to be that. And I’m not saying he shows up in this movie!”
Now, about that “greater enemy…”
Justice League Movie Villain
In order for the Justice League to form, they need a threat with power levels that only a team of heroes could take down, right?
The key villain of Justice League Part Oneisn’t Darkseid, but another Fourth World related despot (and Jack Kirby creation), Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf is basically Darkseid’s cousin, a powerful warrior from Apokolips who wields a pretty crazy energy axe. Birth Movies Death (who first broke the news of Steppenwolf’s involvement) says that “Steppenwolf has a contentious history with Darkseid” in this movie, so he may be less of an advance force for a larger invasion, and just an invading force of his own.
What’s really crazy is that we may have already seen the big screen version of Steppenwolf. A deleted scene from Batman v Superman released online offered a look at a monstrous creature on a Kryptonian ship, and I rightly assumed this was someone with a Darkseid connection.
It’s still inevitable that we’ll see Darkseid in these movies, and he’ll probably still be a presence in the first one. DC Comics used him as the catalyst for the formation of the Justice League in the current comic book series. He’s a pretty big gun to burn this early, though, so holding him back for Justice League Part Two sound about as logical as anything else we’ve heard.
But what about Lex Luthor?
“I’m kind of in wait,” Eisenberg told a crowd at MCM London Comic-Con (via Digital Spy). “They just started filming Justice League, so I’m kind of like waiting for my crack at it…But yeah I think so, and I love it, and I love everybody who’s in it. You know, it’s a really talented group of people.”
Luthor was last seen at the end of Batman v Superman raving about a villain on the way. Whether he was talking about Steppenwolf or Darkseid remains to be seen, but given that deleted scene, it’s probably Steppenwolf.
So, there’s no surprises in terms of the three big guns: Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot will make up DC’s central trinity. Along with the other announcements, Warner Bros. chose Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Vic Stone/Cyborg, and Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash.
JK Simmons is playing Commissioner Gordon. That’s pretty cool…unless you were hoping he would return as J. Jonah Jameson in Marvel’s new Spider-Man movie.
Apparently, Jeremy Irons will make an appearance as Alfred Pennyworth. Mr. Irons seems to think that the script for this one is a bit better than Batman v Superman, too.
You’ll note there’s no Green Lantern in that list of names. Green Lantern Corps is being readied for a 2020 release, and that one would focus on both Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Right now it appears that Green Lantern won’t be in the first movie, and will instead be saved for an appearance in the second one.
Welsh actor Julian Lewis Jones has a role in the Justice League movie, although he isn’t saying anything about who he’s playing. “I’m not allowed to say yet what part I play but let’s just say I’ve a role in what will likely be the most expensive film ever made,” he told Wales Online. “I’m just happy to have been involved and I’m looking forward to the movie’s release which will be next year.”
Justice League started filming in April, and these quotes make it sound like his work is already complete on the film. That probably rules him out as Steppenwolf, although a little misdirection never hurt anybody. We’ll update this with more info as we get it.
Henry Cavill rocked the Superman costume earlier as he went head-on against Ben Affleck’s Batman in the second DCEU movie – Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. While the events of the DC movie left Superman in a bad condition – with his apparent death – superhero movie fans were thrilled to know about the return of Cavill in the upcoming movie, Justice League.
Although there is still a year to go before the ensemble movie hits theatres on 17 November 2017, Warner Bros and DC are doing everything possible to generate some buzz around their superhero offering. In a latest attempt, some new pictures surfaced online that featured Cavill sporting a signature Superman look – the iconic “S” curl.
Since the Superman curl is associated with the old Kryptonian hero, does this mean that the Man Of Steel actor will play a more traditional Kal El? Fans’ best bet is to wait for the movie’s release, but in the meantime, Justice League producer Deborah Snyder explained the apparent “dark” nature of Superman (that was portrayed by Cavill in Batman v Superman).
According to Snyder, Cavill’s Superman is not a dark hero and if it does appear so, it is because “he’s going through real problems”.
“I always say their journeys are what we can relate to. Because we can’t relate to their powers, so what do you have? That’s the great thing about our Superman. He is more relatable. Someone said, ‘It’s so dark,’ and I go, ‘Well, is it dark? He’s going through real problems that we go through as people every day’,” she told Forbes magazine.
Explaining the “interesting” aspects about Superman, the Justice League producer further said that Cavill’s Superman may not be just the “good Boy Scout”.
“So I don’t think that’s dark, I think that’s just who we are. People are complex, we’re not strictly just the good Boy Scout trying to do good. He does want to do good, and I think all of the things Superman represents are who he is, but he also stumbles along the way and learns from it. To me, that’s so much more interesting,” she added.
While Superman’s future portrayal still lies shrouded in mystery, Cavill sent his fans in a frenzy after he shared a black costume for his caped character on Instagram.
So what do you thing, will Justice League showcase a transition in the Kryptonian superhero? Let us know in our comments section below.
Henry Cavill’s recent Instagram post gave a major hint as to what fans can expect from the upcoming DC and Warner Bros. movie “Justice League” as far as his Superman character is concerned.
Based on the photo that Cavill posted on the social media site, it is now assumed that “Justice League” will be weaving in a famous DC comic storyline in the movie, “The Death and Return of Superman,” which ran in the ’90s. In the said story, Superman meets his demise in the hands of Doomsday and returns wearing a black suit with a silver Superman emblem.
While it is true that Superman continues to be a good guy upon his resurrection in the “The Death and Return of Superman,” it remains unknown if the same thing will happen in “Justice League.” After all, in the comic books, there is another black-suited Superman who sides with evil: a clone of the Man of Steel that was created by Darkseid.
However, there are those who believe that the black-suited Superman will be based more on “The Death and Return of Superman” storyline. After all, it is the “Justice League” movie, wherein the other DC superheroes are gathered to fight evil, Steppenwolf in this case, and the resurrected Superman is needed to help the members of the league in their quest.
To the uninitiated, Superman dies in the March blockbuster “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” However, the end of the movie suggests that he is not really dead after the soil on his grave moves. In the comic books, Superman does not really die but, instead, in a serious state of low power that leaves him in comatose.
He is then brought to his Fortress of Solitude, where he is dressed in the black suit. The suit is actually a Kryptonian battle armor, which has been designed to come with the black color so that it can absorb the sun’s rays more effectively and heal the wearer much faster.
Will Cavill be an evil Superman in the “Justice League” movie because of the black suit? Or is “Justice League” simply adapting portions of “The Death and Return of Superman” storyline in the comic books?
