Cavill's been expressing interest in reprising the role for some time now. Not at all surprised to read that.

It'll be interesting if Snyder's Justice League actually does re-ignite the connected DCEU, assuming it's a success. I mean, in addition to having fan support, the cast and crew appear to be all in on the whole "Snyder Cut" front as well, including the likes of Ben Affleck, who otherwise appears to just be done with all of this. Compare this to the complete opposite reaction we've seen from, say, the Game of Thrones cast in regards to how that show turned out in its last seasons, or the new Star Wars cast who similarly appeared quite disdainful for how their trilogy turned out in the end, where as here, pretty much everyone who worked with Snyder on that film is really pulling for it, despite WB's clear wishes that the whole thing would've just been forgotten and buried by now. Makes you think they honestly might feel they actually do have something worthwhile here, and something that's worth moving forward with.
