Henry Cavill’s return as the Last Son of Krypton has already raised storms on the Internet. But as he returns to the DCU, the chances are very dim of having him in any other notable franchise. Elaborating on this scenario, theEnola Holmesstar revealed that his busy Superman schedule will stand as a big hindrance even if he wanted to be a part of any other big franchise.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s introduction to the DC inBlack Adamhas changed a lot for the House of the Superman. Due to the unison of the former WWE Wrestler’s repeated efforts and the change of the studio’s leadership, Henry Cavill is finally back as Clark Kent. And this time, hopefully, his reign is going to last much longer.

Appearing in an interview with USA Today,Henry Cavillrevealed that although he gets very delighted in reading about all these fan castings, sadly, time is a very big factor here.
“It is enormously flattering to read those articles that pop up about Bond all the time and who’s the favorite. I enjoy that, of course. But it’s all about how much time I have, and these roles need to be respected and a lot of work needs to be put into them. You can’t just be jumping from iconic role to iconic role with no time to prep for them.”
As theImmortalsactor raised a big statement about not committing to various iconic roles in a single time, the already diminishing chances of seeing him as 007 seem to have finally ended. Interestingly, Henry Cavill was rejected for the role of Bond, before Daniel Craig was roped into the franchise.
