In a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight at a Wednesday premiere of Aquaman, Momoa was asked if Cavill is finished playing the character, responding “He’s absolutely not. He loves the character and he’s not, 100%.” The reporter asks again if Cavill’s exit is happening, and Momoa once again responds “No, it’s absolutely not."This follows recent comments from Momoa on Cavill and Ben Affleck when he said "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... shit, I have done three."He continued, heaping praise on his co-stars, saying of Cavill, "Henry is the gentlemen who taught me when I came on not knowing anything. I’m like the ruffian hooligan, and he’s just like, ‘There’s kids watching,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah. My bad.’ He is totally 100% the Superman for me."Back in September, reports indicated that Cavill was finished playing Superman . However, the same day Cavill’s manager Dany Garcia tweeted “Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet. @wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe.”Soon after, Warner Bros. issued the following statement: "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."Though there is no official word on Cavill’s future as the Man of Steel it wouldn’t be surprising for WB not to have its Superman anymore. There were even rumors floating around that Michael B. Jordan was being considered to replace Cavill as Superman. Similar rumors suggest that Affleck’s last outing as Batman will be in Suicide Squad 2. Even if Cavill does exit the role, he’s got plenty on his plate playing Geralt of Rivera in the Netflix Witcher series.
