Although a recent report indicated that Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Ray Fisher were set to return and film more scenes, this is contradicted by statements from Cavill himself. During an interview for Enola Holmes, in which he plays Enola’s big brother Sherlock, he was asked directly about whether he would be involved in reshoots. The actor had this to say: “Not shooting anything additional. No. It’s all stuff that has been already done.” So it would seem that, at least for Cavill, there is no expectation of returning to shoot more footage.

It is worth noting that this statement was made slightly before the reports of re-shoots, but nonetheless it was recent enough that either things have changed very rapidly, or Cavill has not been asked to return quite yet. (Or maybe the whole thing is just a misunderstanding.) Whether or not Cavill reconsiders, or is asked to do new work as Superman, it would seem that the reports of Cavill flying out to LA with Snyder and new shoots occurring imminently is not as accurate as it seemed.
As of right now, Cavill is currently in London shooting season 2 of The Witcher for Netflix, and there’s no plans to wrap any time soon. As for the Snyder cut itself, Cavill emphasized that he was taking an outsider role in the project, and doesn’t know much about how it’s shaping up. “Obviously I don’t know how things are going to evolve and change and adapt depending on now a different length of movie and whatever may happen in post-production. Whatever lessons may be learned from what is it four years since Justice League came out? Four years’ worth of fan reaction. For me…I’m now just watching the party.”
