Henry Cavill Is Not Returning As Superman (Forbes)

Just weeks after announcing his return as Superman to the DC films, Henry Cavill has been kicked out of the Justice League once again.

. . A part of me wishes that this means he’ll be returning to The Witcher, but I fear that ship has sailed—and most likely because of creative differences between Cavill and the show’s producers. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes. Now, Cavill will be neither Superman or the Witcher, which is a real shame given how good he was in both roles. The changing of the guard is something that happens. This makes his last appearance as the Man of Steel .

X-Men: Henry Cavill suits up as Cyclops in stunning image (Culturess)

The idea of Henry Cavill joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a dream to Marvel fans and after seeing the actor suit up as Cyclops we can see why.

Do you think Henry Cavill would make a good Cyclops in the MCU? Not only does he look the part, but Cavill could be the perfect actor to introduce Cyclops to a new generation and make the hero more respected than past iterations have been. In the incredible concept art, the artist transforms Cavill into Cyclops with a design that flawlessly captures the essence of the character’s most iconic costume from over the years. If not Cyclops or Captain Britain, which Marvel character would you like to see Cavill play within the MCU? Given the popularity of the franchise and its iconic characters, one can’t imagine Marvel will keep fans waiting too long before announcing its first X-Men project. Now more than ever, there are plenty of projects to look forward to as Marvel fans.

Why Is Henry Cavill Not Returning as Superman? (Distractify)

The recent excitement surrounding Henry Cavill's return as Superman was dashed when it was announced the deal is off. Why is Henry Cavill out?

"We will continue to honor the IP, the fans, the storytelling, all the way through." "Henry is an extraordinary Geralt and I think Liam will continue and also be an extraordinary Geralt," explained Peter. It's pretty obvious that Henry Cavill's exit from The Witcher was due to the fact that the studio dangled Superman in front of him.

Comme Gunn le laissait entendre, il travaille bien sur un nouveau film Superman, mais ce dernier ne sera pas centré sur le Clark Kent d'Henry Cavill. Sur Instagram, l'acteur a été un tout petit peu moins enthousiaste et a confirmé qu'il mettait bien sa cape au placard. Techniquement, le super-héros était donc bien une priorité pour lui, mais pas comme on l'entendait. James Gunn a lui aussi laissé planer le doute en déclarant que

Henry Cavill Officially Out As Superman, James Gunn Pens New ... (Forbes)

It's been a big week of DC superhero movie news and rumors, and now comes the first officially announced project from DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter ...

And let’s be honest, there was little chance that any attempt to reconfigure the existing DCEU with yet another course-correction would appease the fractured corners of fandom or convince global mainstream audiences to give this DCEU another chance after several years of low-end box office performances. It’s unfortunate that a combination of Covid, streaming day-and-date (resulting in part from Covid), and other external factors weighed heavily on some of these negative outcomes. Look closely at those figures, and understand the studio only keeps about half or less of the box office gross. I am a fan of this DCEU, I am sad it didn’t work out as planned, and I’m sad to see so many great people departing after giving us so much we loved in these films. It’s also possible that no full reboot is planned, that instead a multiverse scenario will be used to keep certain aspects of the existing DCEU alive and set up a “Crisis” scenario like the ones from the comic book source material and live-action CW Arrowverse crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, that hasn’t been confirmed by anyone at the studio, although the loss of Cavill and the recent announcement that Patty Jenkins’ planned Wonder Woman 3 is cancelled seems to suggest we’re headed for a full reboot of DC on film, so the wording about Affleck as director might be another telling hint.

Henry Cavill ne sera plus Superman (La Presse)

Le réalisateur James Gunn, qui est maintenant coprésident de DC Studios avec Peter Safran, a fait l'annonce de la décision mercredi sur Twitter.

Le nom de Ben Affleck circule, mais James Gunn a seulement confirmé son envie de travailler avec lui pour un film DCU, sans donner plus de précision. Par ailleurs, la bonne nouvelle est qu’il y aura bel et bien un nouveau film mettant en vedette Superman, mais qui s’intéressera aux années de jeunesse de Clark Kent. « En octobre, on m’avait confirmé que je serais de retour », a-t-il affirmé, mais le changement de garde à la tête de DC Studios aura modifié les plans, a-t-il conclu.
