Does he want to be Superman, though? I mean, they couldn't even get him for that Shazam cameo. And it's clearly supposed to be Cavill's Superman given the scaly, muted suit.

This^^^

I was under the impression that Cavill just wasn't interested anymore.

The only issue Cavill has had is his pay. He was getting paid the 'initial' pay for Man of Steel for both "BvS" and "JL" it is common that actors get step pay for each subsequent sequel. So after meeting with "The Rock" about Black Adam/Shazam!/Superman... The Rock told him he should be getting paid more.

So he has been in negotiations with WB. On the WB side, their saying "We don't think you bring in enough Box Office revenue to justify a raise" and he is saying "I have been loyal through three films, I deserve more pay than the standard fee for a first film."

He still wants to play Superman.
