Zack Snyder reveals Henry Cavill’s Superman was supposed to time travel

Director Zack Snyder has disclosed new details about his original vision for the conclusion of Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman in the DC Universe.

Snyder revealed that his intended storyline would have seen Superman fall victim to the Anti-Life Equation, leading to his destruction.

The plan was for Superman to then rewind time and be granted another opportunity to confront the villain Darkseid.

This time-traveling ability for Cavill’s Superman character was a key detail that Snyder had envisioned to complete his trilogy and depict the hero’s transformation into a guardian figure who would ultimately restore his humanity.

While many fans have expressed a desire to see Cavill reprise the role of Superman, Snyder’s revelation about the time travel twist sheds light on how his interpretation of the character was set to evolve in a more unconventional direction compared to previous live-action depictions.
