My money is on the worse case scenario. It would be insane for them to do it - but Hollywood loves trying to force the impossible to work.
Best case scenario: They use a different actor. Simple.
Worse case scenario: They CGI-deage Cavill and he loses a lot of weight for those scenes. Ridiculous. But the director applauds Cavill for his efforts at “authenticity”.
