Jason Momoa Changes His Tune & Now Says Henry Cavill Is "100%" Staying In The DCEU As Superman

Hot off the heels of Jason “My Man!” Momoa seemingly at peace with the idea of continuing the DCEU without the help of Henry Cavill as Superman, the “Aquaman” actor is changing his tune a bit.

A couple days ago, in an interview, Momoa said that he didn’t know what was happening with Cavill in the role of Superman, after rumors and speculation said the actor has decided to hang up the blue and red tights. What Momoa did say is that he’d be perfectly fine with Cavill leaving the role, if that’s what he chooses. Now, however, he’s saying something completely different.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, on the red carpet, Momoa was adamant about Cavill not leaving the DCEU just yet. When asked if Cavill was done with the role, Momoa said, “He’s absolutely not.”

He continued, “He loves the character and he’s not [leaving]. 100%.”

Either Momoa got some new information in the last 48 hours or even he isn’t completely sure what’s going on in the DCEU. The news of Cavill’s departure seemed to be teased a few months ago, with the actor not refuting it and WB seemingly side-stepping an actual statement by playing it down the middle.

However, more recently, Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane opposite Cavill’s Superman, said, “I think I’m out of the DC Universe now. I think they’re revamping that. I don’t know the details.”

Either way, it doesn’t appear that Momoa needs Cavill in the DCEU. With the success of “Wonder Woman,” and the highly-anticipated “Aquaman” (which despite our myriad of criticisms, will no doubt make a boat-load of cash), the DC superhero universe seems to rest in the hands of Gal Gadot and Momoa. Add to that the news that WB wants a “Supergirl” movie, Matt Reeves is casting a new Batman, and Margot Robbie is putting together a female team of badasses, the current roster of the DCEU seems to be growing more and more crowded, leaving Cavill on the outside looking in.

“Aquaman” hits theaters on December 21.
