When Man of Steel first hit theaters back in 2013, a direct sequel seemed inevitable. Despite mixed reviews, the film was a box office success and helped establish Henry Cavill as probably the most popular Superman actor of all-time. Since then, however, plans for another movie in the series have stalled. The actor has reprised the role in other films in the DCEU, but has yet to secure a follow-up to the pic that really put him on the map.

In a recent interview, however, the star hinted that the long-awaited next installment may be coming in the near future. When asked about the movement by fans to see the highly-anticipated Snyder Cut of Justice League, Cavill instead focused on what’s next for Clark Kent:

“I’m always interested to see how that stuff turns out but that is very much a chapter of my past, I would rather talk about what is going to happen in the future. The future of Superman, how I can express that character from the comic books, which ties in nicely to Man of Steel. Man of Steel, I really like that movie, and I’d like to be able to tell the story where it was left at that point.”
