As for Cavill’s end of things, I think his camp is going to need to walk back some of the demands they were making for his contract extension, because those are what killed the last round of talks.

Ever since they hit that brick wall in September, it’s been explained to me that the big hurdle were the demands put forth by Cavill’s team. Things like a Producer credit, Director Approval, and Script Approval, aside from the customary raise.

So his team will need to budge on all of that, too.

Somewhere in all of this is the compromise that would bring Superman back to the big screen without need for a lengthy wait and another reboot.

Fittingly, for Kal-El, it now comes down to Hope.
