Ian Cardona has written for CBR since 2017. He is a Feature, Comic Breakouts and News writer. He's been in love with comics for a very long time, and believes there is some good to be found even in the industry's more difficult times. His favorite Avenger is Captain America, and that was long before the character starred in a very successful film franchise. He is an avid statue and Funko Pop! figures collector, and he's rapidly running out of shelf space. With CBR, he has been able to write about his favorite subjects, from the MCU to Doctor Who. You can follow him on Twitter at @ian_c1701 (yes, that is a Star Trek reference) for discussions, debates or pictures of really cool collectibles he probably doesn't have room for.

Try something different:

Last we saw of Henry Cavill's Superman, he had returned to Metropolis and was ready to become the savior he was always meant to be at the end ofJustice League. However, with no sequel to either the superhero ensemble film orMan of Steel planned and an entire shakeup of the DC Extended Universe movie slate, it was unclear when, andif, we would ever see Cavill's Superman again. But now, it appears there is a bit ofhope.

Earlier today, Henry Cavill shared an Instagram video of himself hitting the gym hard. But what was most curious was the caption that accompanied the video. "Working on the Super Buns!" the actor wrote, "Whiiiiiiich if you vote for me in the Teen Choice Awards (link in bio) and I end up winning then you may or may not see them in a tight blue outfit much sooner!"

A few days ago, Cavill was nominated for a Teen Choice Action Movie Actor award for his role inJustice League. According to the actor, a win could signal an interest in the character, something that could lead to another appearance in the DCEU. If anything, he does appear to know more than he's letting on.

Fans who follow Cavill's Instagram account know that the actor has been bulking up in the gym for a while now, which might point at Superman's immediate return to the big screen. The fact that he also says he is working on his "Super Buns" also seems to be a not-so-subtle hint at what he is preparing for. For all we know, Cavill's Superman could appear in any upcoming DCEU movie in a cameo capacity.
