A well-placed industry insider has claimed that Henry Cavill is back in the Superman role. This comes from a Twitter account that recently said the Black Adam film will open the door to a new Superman film. If that turns out to be true, Cavill will be appearing in Black Adam. As per the leaks, the film will have some sort of Man of Steel appearance featuring a brighter Superman suit.
The Twitter user on Monday posted the following: “I’ll just say it. Multiple scoopers 100% believe Henry is back, the dm I received said ‘Cavill’s back.’ This friend who told me this I trust very well and has ALWAYS been skeptical over Cavill and Affleck returning. They are now believing into the idea of Cavill’s return,” tweeted AjepArts.
The Twitter user added that “the tides are changing” over at Warner Bros. Discovery. “Before this, it was seen as impossible. But the tides are changing. Something has to be going on,” read the tweet.
The news of Henry Cavill returning as Superman is not new as rumours have been around for over five years or so. Just this Summer at the San Diego Comic-Con, DC insiders and friends of Batman producer Michael Uslan informed a journalist that Henry Cavill can return to the Superman role if he wants to, but that he was asking for a lot of money.
Cavill first appeared as Clark Kent/Superman in the 2013 film Man of Steel. He then went on to reprise the role in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s Justice League.
He additionally appeared in Zack Snyder's Justice League, a 2021 director's cut of the 2017 DC film. Despite Warner Bros. currently developing several Superman projects, none include Cavill at the moment. Superman last appeared in the DCEU as a shadowy, faceless cameo in the Season 1 finale of the HBO Max series Peacemaker. The actor is currently busy filming The Witcher Season 3.

Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
