RUMOR: Cosmic Book News Doubles Down on Snyderverse Revival and Henry Cavill Return

by

Cosmic Book News is reporting ongoing speculation that the Snyderverse – featuring Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Jason Momoa – might make a comeback.

A report on Monday indicated Saudi Arabia is the leading candidate to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery, the company behind DC Studios. This claim stemmed from comments by Hollywood producer Patrick Caligiuri, who stated a deal was nearly finalized—requiring only one signature. However, Matthew Belloni of Puck reported that Comcast CEO Brian Roberts may be collaborating with Saudi Arabia on a potential bid.

Things got even more confusing when Variety reported that Saudi Arabia was supporting a deal with Paramount Skydance. Paramount quickly denied the report, calling the information “completely false.” With everyone in the industry waiting for an official announcement and rumors flying, it’s clear that anything could happen.

From our perspective at Cosmic Book News, one thing is clear: Zack Snyder benefits no matter who wins the battle for Paramount. Whether Saudi Arabia supports Paramount or Comcast, Snyder is poised to come out on top. This is because he’s been building strong relationships within the Saudi entertainment industry.

Snyder, the Saudis, and Superman

Last March, Snyder agreed to create a show called Brawler for the UFC. Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, will be an executive producer on the project.

Recently, Zack Snyder has been sharing photos on Instagram that look back on his time with the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). A post he made two weeks ago about his ideal Superman sparked a lot of discussion among fans. Many people commented on a picture of Henry Cavill, hoping he’ll reprise the role and believing Snyder could still finish the story he originally intended.

As a huge DC fan, I was thrilled to read on Cosmic Book News that things are looking up! Apparently, my hope for Henry Cavill returning as Superman isn’t misplaced. But it gets even better – their sources say Gal Gadot will reprise her role as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa is back as Aquaman, and Ray Fisher will be returning as Cyborg too! It sounds like we’re getting the team back together!

You know, it’s exciting to hear that Jason Momoa is already returning to the DC universe! He’s going to be playing Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl movie, which is part of James Gunn’s new DCU. It’s great to see him continuing his journey with DC, even after Aquaman.

Whether Ben Affleck will reprise his role as Batman remains uncertain, reportedly due to the physical demands of the part. Similarly, Ezra Miller’s return as The Flash is considered unlikely.

According to Cosmic Book News, Saudi Arabia is interested in bringing Zack Snyder back to direct and revive his original vision for the DC Universe – even if it means replacing some of the original actors. It’s not clear why Saudi Arabia wants more of Henry Cavill and the Snyderverse, but some speculate Snyder has a strong connection with the country’s film industry and is actively working to make it happen. However, actually making that happen would be incredibly complex.

An Evolving Story

After Zack Snyder had to leave the DC Extended Universe in 2017 due to a personal loss, the idea of his vision returning has become a huge phenomenon. However, this isn’t a story unfolding in the movies themselves, but rather in online discussions and the creative minds of fans.

The ongoing sale of Warner Bros. Discovery is adding yet another unexpected turn to a story that many believe has gone on for far too long. Regardless of whether Paramount, Comcast, Netflix, or Saudi Arabia ultimately acquires it, fans of the DC universe created by Zack Snyder will likely continue to believe a return is possible.
