Jason Momoa Says Henry Cavill is Still Superman

This is great news! It’s music to my ears!

Jason Mamoa is 39 years old

Has anyone else said anything besides Jason? I haven’t been keeping up with current movie news.

That’s a good news. But jeez WB, if you ever decided to make a solo Superman movie when Henry’s, maybe 50 years old, the movie could be named “Superman beyond”, problem solved!

Robert Downey, Jr. is in his 50s and is still Iron Man. I don’t think age is going to be much of a factor for Cavill.

I’m really not a Cavill fan, but age alone at this point isn’t really a disqualifying matter. How much is Hollywood fluff and how much is reality, I can’t say, but supposedly Hugh Jackman was told to not look as good for Logan as he did for his other recent outings as Wolverine. At 54, Arnold showed up in shape for Terminator 3. When the studio gives you ten or twenty million reasons to work out, provides a trainer and nutritionists, it’s funny how age ends up being just a number…

Hugh Jackman was almost 50 when he last played Wolverine and he still managed to look the part.Henry being 35 is not any kind of obstacle for future appearances.

Age matters when you have to get into the physical shape the role requires. That’s why Jackman retired and probably a reason why Ben is questionable as Batman. That’s a lot of stress on the body and you can only keep up that intensity for so long. At this rate Henry will be in his 40’s and Amy Adams will be in her 50’s by the time we get another Superman. As much as I want to believe this, I’ll only believe it when it’s official.

Before people go throwing a party, I hate to be that guy, but I’m gonna be that guy. This isn’t new, this is what was established when the news broke Henry was out. Henry quitting was never the issue, that was never the story, that was something he never expressed. WB deciding to shelve the character for several years then reboot the character was the story and the issue. We all know and all knew that Henry wants to do another Superman movie. We all knew and all know he has a story he wants to tell based off of… Read more »

They’re probably most likely friends Henry and Jason. So Jason is sticking up for his friend. I don’t know what’s going on with the whole movie end of DC, but from what I can tell from this video, he’s being a good friend to Henry.

Well Henry hasn’t said anything about staying as Superman…beside showing us all the video of him with the figure. I remain a bit optimistic that some news will emerge from the man himself and we will know more.
All in all it’s good to see that Jason Momoa has made himself the Aquaspokesman for the DCEU and his castmates. I really do think that he likes this universe and what has been built upon and fights to keep it running despite its faults and criticism.

Henry Cavill is great and all, but he can’t be Superman if WB does not allow him to appear in live action as Superman. If it is not already in their plans, they need to fast track a Superman movie. Hope any script is not in development hell. Introduce Brainiac, cameo Supergirl and re-introduce Green Lantern for a deeper, more cosmic flavor. All these are elements and characters we, as Superman fans, have wanted to see in a Superman movie for the longest time. Make it happen already. And finally, drop hints of the existence of Intergang so you have… Read more »

Just a few days ago Momoa talked about the possibility of Cavill, and Affleck being out, and had this to say… “If they’re both out, then listen: It’s just the place they’re at in their careers,” I mean, how many has Henry done? He’s done three? Yeah, I mean, like, you want to move on. I think if I did… s***, I have done three. […] I mean, Henry wants to just expand on something. Ben is an amazing director that is of age, and probably he’s done enough. I don’t know how to speak on behalf of them, but… Read more »

I have to agree with most of the sentiments here.. I think Cavill was a great casting as Superman… but I think that a new actor could easily slip into the role, because, unfortunately for Henry, there was no opportunity for him to really make the role his… there was no defining Superman moments, and the ones that were impressive visuals – were just that – visual… I thin that there are enough square Jawed actors in the industry to provide a visual cue. all of his charm was shown at comic-cons etc where we, the hard core fan base… Read more »

As I said in a related news story, they will keep Henry around for a while, as they have no plans for a new Superman movie. This may sound good, but in reality all we’ll get is a few minutes of him, cameo’ing in other heroes’ movies for a boost. They never shot that rumored Shazam cameo before they wrapped shooting (this was before the upset of Henry potentially leaving), but shortly after that was “resolved”, the film went into extensive reshoots and one of them may very well be a Superman cameo. Henry may still be in the DCEU,… Read more »

‘Man of Steel 2’ or none of this means anything.

I know that I missed giving people positive votes on Friday. Sorry about that. So here are the positive votes. Happy late weekend everyone.

Good… now someone make a GOOD Superman movie for him to star in. I’m sorry, but Man of Steel felt like Supergirl to me. Meh movie, great flying effects.

People can look really good well into their mid-40s. I think it could still work. If they can cast adults as teenagers in high school, Henry has no worries. Hell, Sam Jackson is 70 and it looks like they pulled off making him look 40 in Capt. Marvel.

Awesome. Good news.
