'Man Of Steel' Henry Cavill To Fly Solo After 'Batman V Superman' Movie? Actor Clarifies 'Dawn Of Justice' Not His Character's Sequel

Is there going to be another sequel to "Man of Steel" after the "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" movie? Henry Cavill thinks so.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said, "There's plenty of time for individual Superman sequels."

"He's a tough character to tell," the actor said. "People like the darker vigilante. I think it speaks to the human psyche more easily rather than the god-like being that we can't really understand. Once we have a more expansive universe we can delve more into the character of Superman and hopefully tell more stories."

Henry Cavill also said that "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" can't be considered as a sequel to "Man of Steel."

"As far as the individual character is concerned, this is not a Superman sequel," Gina Carano's ex said. "It's more of an introduction to Batman, an opening to Justice League, and an expansion of the world that was created in Man of Steel."

Cinema Blend noted that Henry Cavill's statements regarding "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is significant.

"Cavill's comments indicate that, having served as the launching pad for Warner's DC Comics cinematic universe, Superman's further development as a character might be better served with a more established backdrop of a world in which several other super-powered heroes have emerged," it explained.

"While Man of Steel was effective in illustrating the motivations of this new Superman," the article added. "It may be Warner's intention to further shape his character against the sharpening stone of the future members of the cinematic crossover, Justice League, rather than furthering the narrative of the super-powered loner we met in the initial film."

"Batman V Superman" actor Henry Cavill will next be seen as a superspy in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E," which was also rumored to be a launching pad for him taking over James Bond from Daniel Craig.
