Here’s what he had to say below.
“As many as it takes. I love the character. I love working with Warner Bros. and what they’re doing with it, and so fingers crossed I’ll be able to tell the story for many, many years to come.”
Back in October, Warner Bros. announced a massive expansion of theirDC Comicsmovie slate, includingSuicide Squad,Wonder Woman,Justice League Part 1,The Flash,Aquaman,Shazam!,Justice League Part 2,CyborgandGreen Lantern. We knowHenry Cavillwill certainly be back forJustice League Part 1andJustice League Part 2, with the entire team reportedly set to assemble at the end ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it isn’t known if Superman will pop up in any of the other superhero adventures.
