Henry Cavill's portrayal as Superman has been a point of controversy for quite some time. Even though his portrayal gained immense love, he also had his fair share of criticism from viewers and critics. His performance in 2017's Justice League was also considered dull and his future as the superhero seemed cold as Warner Bros. apparently lost interest in the character. Thanks to the Snyder Cut movement, interest in Henry Callin's character was rekindled. In fact, the deal was pitched by Cavill himself for his return to the red cape.
