Henry Cavill, who was announced to return to the role a few months ago, completely said goodbye to the role of Superman in line with the decision taken.
There are radical changes in the DC Cinematic Universe right now. The firm, which took sharp decisions especially after the merger of Warner Bros. with Discovery, made another decision. In line with this decision, Henry Cavill, who returned to this universe after the Black Adam movie, bid farewell to the role of Superman again.
Henry Cavill bids farewell to his Superman character
As you may remember, James Gunn, who we will remember from Marvel movies, was brought to the head of the team to gather the DC side. James Gunn is apparently thinking of a whole new operation for the DC universe. Because, according to the statement, a new Superman movie will come and the character will be played by a new actor, this time focusing on the younger period.
Henry Cavill, on the other hand, officially announced that he will not return as Superman in this new era, in a statement on his Instagram account. “I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and it’s sad news. As a result, I won’t be returning as Superman,” Cavill said. He said, “James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and everyone involved with the new universe the best of luck and happiness.” He said that he has full faith in the new team.
New announcements for DC movies are expected in 2023. It is not yet clear whether they will connect the subject with the Flash movie, as in the Flashpoint comic, or whether all movies will be ignored.
