Henry Cavill, who played Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman in the “Snyder-verse” movies of the DC Cinematic Universe (Man of Steel, Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League) told Men’s Health, “I’m not just going to sit quietly in the dark as all this stuff is going on,” Cavill says of the rumors. “I’ve not given up the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. A lot of storytelling to do. A lot of real, true depths to the honesty of the character I want to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me. There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.”
According to Newsarama: In September 2018, The Hollywood Reporter cited an unnamed source working at Warner Bros. who said that Cavill would not be reprising his role as Superman.”
In 2017, the L.A. Times reported that Cavill was contracted to play Superman on one more occasion for Warner Bros. after Justice League.
Cavill previously confirmed he had hoped to reprise his role as Superman in Shazam!, but scheduling conflicts with Mission: Impossible – Fallout precluded him from participating, leading to Zachary Levi’s stunt double Ryan Handley standing in as Superman for the film’s post-credits scene.
“The cape is in the closet,” Cavill says emphatically, echoing a comment his agent made in September 2018 when Cavill’s exit was reported. “It’s still mine.”

Not the most definitive update, but interesting nonetheless.
Cavill talked to the magazine to promote his new sexy Netflix series, The Witcher.
