SUPERMAN: HENRY CAVILL CONFIRMS WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY SPIDERMAN [VIDEO]
'SUPERMAN' Henry Cavill responds to reports he's stepping down from his Superman role in Warner Bros' movies based on the DC Comics' superhero.
The 35-year-old took to his Instagram account to share a short video wearing a "Krypton Lifting Team" shirt, referencing his on-screen character's home planet.

It was reported Cavill was done playing Superman, a role he started playing in 2013's often criticized "Man of Steel".

"While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we've always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged," Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement to INSIDER.

A "Man of Steel" sequel has been talked about for years with David S. Goyer hired to write one script in 2013 and Matthew Vaughn and Christopher McQuarrie being looked at as potential directors more recently. But it's been nearly six years.

Superman has gotten little love outside of appearances in "Justice League" and "Batman v Superman," which could be seen as a "Man of Steel" sequel. It didn't help that a visual effects gaffe with his "Mission: Impossible" mustache went viral and overshadowed the "Justice League" release.

"The killing of Zod would have led to a wonderful reason why Superman never kills," Cavill told Square Mile. "Not, he never kills just because his dad said so one day. He made the decision himself because of an impossible scenario, to which he then said, 'I don't care if it's impossible again, I'm gonna find a way to make it possible in the impossible.'"

Cavill said they never got to show that side of Superman on screen, something it sounded like he really wanted to get the chance to do in a follow-up.

"It was a shame because it would've been nice, and it would have been a lovely coupling with the seriousness and the depth of Man of Steel," he added.

Cavill's not exactly just sitting around. He does have another significant project in the works over at Netflix where he's set to star on Netflix's adaptation of "The Witcher" video game.
