After all the furore yesterday over whether Henry Cavill is or isn’t still Superman the man himself has broken his silence.
Cavill posted the below cryptic video on his Instagram account. Wearing a Krypton Team shirt and holding a Superman bust the actor doesn’t do anything to dispel the rumours. But doesn’t do anything to confirm them either.
All seems like a storm in a teacup to us…

It’s been a trying few hours for Superman fans.
Earlier today THR released an “exclusive” story claiming that fan favourite Henry Cavill would not longer be playing the Man of Steel.
According to the report Warner Bros. was keen on having Cavill appear alongside Zach Levi in Shazam! When a deal could not be brokered to make it happen it seemed to mark the end for Cavill.
Further rumours pointed to a deal being unable to be reached. Others chalked it up to a simple scheduling conflict with Cavill out promoting Mission Impossible: Fallout across the globe.
Regardless the stories all had one conclusion. Henry is out as Superman.
In swoops Dany Garcia (Henry Cavill’s manager) with a quick statement confirming that “the cape is still in his closet.”
Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet. @wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe. Anticipate a WB statement later today.

As Garcia commented a statement from Warner Bros. arrived shortly after her tweet:
“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.”
We might not have Man of Steel 2 coming very soon but we can rest easy that Cavill is very much still our Superman!

Last week we brought you the news of Mission Impossible: Fallout opening to big numbers in China . In its second week in the Middle Kingdom the movie grossed a further $37M for a total of $137.7M in the territory.
That figure now means that Fallout is the highest grossing entry to the Mission Impossible franchise at the worldwide box office. Currently Fallout has grossed $726.6M worldwide from $212.1M domestic and $514.5M foreign.
Fallout is also expected to top Mission: Impossible II‘s$215.4M total at the North American box office by the end of the week. That will also make it the highest grossing entry to the franchise in North America.
As an aside Fallout is now also the highest grossing movie ever starring Tom Cruise. Not bad for an actor in his fourth decade in Hollywood!
Mission Impossible: Fallout stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Cruise is joined by franchise co-stars Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, and Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett and Vanessa Kirby also star. Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote and directed 2015’s Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, also returns.

Mission Impossible: Fallout has finally hit the Chinese market. Following its opening weekend its clear the franchise has a huge hold over the Middle Kingdom as movie opened to a franchise best $77m.
That figure is also a career best for Tom Cruise in the market.
Domestically the film has made over $200m whilst internationally the tally is currently around $468m. Globally that means the film has grossed $668m.
For those keeping score $668m makes Fallout the third highest grossing movie in the Mission Impossible franchise following Ghost Protocol ($694.7M) and Rogue Nation($682.7M). Given that it still holds the number three spot at the box office there’s plenty of time to top both these movies in the coming weeks.
Mission Impossible: Fallout stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Cruise is joined by franchise co-stars Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, and Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett and Vanessa Kirby also star. Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote and directed 2015’s Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, also returns.

We possibly wouldn’t class this one as news but it certainly is intriguing.
Actor Henry Cavill posted the below to his Instagram showing that he’s back in the gym. In the caption on his post he mentions working on his “Super Buns” and alludes to the fact he could be donning his red cape sooner than we think.
Could it all be a smoke screen? Or is Cavill about to play Superman again on the big screen?
