Today was exciting #Superman

A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) on

Henry Cavill reacted to the buzz surrounding his role as Superman in a very cryptic way. The actor made headlines Wednesday when The Hollywood Reporter reported Cavill might have played Superman for the last time.

Warner Bros. issued a generic statement saying "no decisions have been made" about future Superman movies, while Cavill's manager told fans to "be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet."

Cavill didn't say a word about whether he was up, up and away from the role or not, but he did release a brief Instagram video late Wednesday that fans can read into any way they want. 

Here's my takeaway: Cavill has cool shirts, neat toys and really powerful arms. The video's been viewed more than 2.5 million times in less than a day. Check it out for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
