Henry Cavill is back as Superman after a long wait, however, it seems as if his contract hasn’t become concrete yet. Keeping this in mind, there could be any possibility of where the negotiations lead to. By the looks of it, fans have already started planning on whether or not his contract would work out or not and who would replace him otherwise.
This has already included a list of actors who either could take up the mantel some day, or have already played the character at least once before. Although, among all these names, the one who seems to be leading happens to be Brad Abramenko, who played the hero in the finale of James Gunn’sPeacemaker.

Brad Abramenko made his debut as Superman in the finale ofPeacemaker. Although the announcement of the same was not received very well, however, that quickly changed after the actor first adorned the iconic suit and appeared on the screen. This made fans immediately accept him as a version of the hero of Metropolis whom they would not mind seeing again.
His appearance became a well-received concept among the audience, but merely to an extent. When the actor started a petition to return as the character for a second season, fans were adamant about seeingHenry Cavillbe a part of that universe and have him be the Superman that would go up against Peacemaker. Now it may look like because Cavill’s contract not being solid yet, fans do not seem to mind Abramenko as DC Universe’s Superman. His vigor and appearance as the hero changed a lot of minds and his charisma in return has pulled many fans toward him.

This led fans to start petitions as well as create hype for Abramenko’s version and how he was just as good and impactful as Cavill’s.

Although there has been no confirmed news regarding the same, Cavill’s contract is still in the works and would take time to be fully constructed.
