Henry Cavil confirmed Wedensday, December 14, that he'd no longer be Superman in the DC Comics extended cinematic universe. Warner Bros.
Cavill even made a cameo as Superman in a mid-credits scene at the end of [“Black Adam,”](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/18/entertainment/black-adam-review) the DC film starring Dwayne Johnson. [announced in October](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/24/entertainment/henry-cavill-superman/index.html) he’d be returning as the Man of Steel. Since their appointment, Gunn and Safran have been reevaluating the studio’s slate of projects, with some decisions recently making headlines. “Among those on the slate is Superman. “I will, after all, not be returning as Superman,” Cavill wrote. “My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will.
New DC Studios co-head James Gunn announced he will write a new "Superman" film, though Henry Cavill will not return as the beloved hero.
Shortly after, Gunn responded with support, saying to Jenkins on Twitter, “I can attest that all of Peter and my interactions with you were only pleasant and professional.” I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.” Cavill isn’t the only star from the last DC era to sit down with Gunn and Safran. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.” In step with the new project, Gunn has also revealed that [Henry Cavill](https://variety.com/t/henry-cavill/) will not return as the hero. Additionally, Variety sources said the new Gunn project will not replace the previously announced J.J.
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 .
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.
Actor says it is 'not the easiest news' after having recently been given the go-ahead by Warner Bros to announce his return to the role.
But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.” Gunn wrote and directed The Suicide Squad instead. Cavill has played Superman since the 2013 film Man of Steel and last appeared in the role in a cameo in Black Adam earlier this year. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.” I was open to considering anything asked of me. The announcement comes amid momentous change at DC Studios and parent company Warner Brothers, which has been slashing scores of projects to cut costs after merging with Discovery, Inc.

“We’re honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we’ve loved since we were children,” said Gunn and Safran in a written statement. He continued: “The changing of the guard is something that happens. “After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life.” James and Peter have a universe to build.

D'autres sources ont pointé du doigt les divergences créatives entre l'acteur et les scénaristes de la série The Witcher. L'acteur, grand fan des livres et des jeux vidéo The Witcher, souhaitait que la série soit plus respectueuse de l'œuvre originale. Quelques jours après, le 29 octobre, une autre information fondamentale venait percuter les fans de l'acteur et de la série The Witcher sur Netflix.

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.

The new heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, have decided to take the Superman story in another direction.
To the fans who were looking forward to his return, Cavill wrote that “Superman is still around.” In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.” Cavill first played Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel and followed up the role in 2016’s Batman v. “Among those on the slate is Superman. “After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life.” James Gunn and Peter Safran were handed the keys to DC Studios in late October.
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.
