Cavill has played Superman in three DC films to date, 2013’s Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and last year’s Justice League.

Superhero mash-up Batman v Superman starred Cavill alongside Ben’s Affleck Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

The film received a generally negative response from critics, with review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes giving it an approval rating of a lowly 27%.

Co-star Ben Affleck later responded to criticism of the movie, saying that he could “understand” the “fair” complaints.

Speaking to Empire about the backlash, Affleck said: “I can understand people saying [the film] was too dark, or this was outside the tone of what I’m used to seeing with a Batman story, and I think that’s a fair criticism.”
