Henry Cavill Will Not Be Returning As Superman

Los Angeles, December 15 - Henry Cavill has confirmed that he would not be returning as Superman as Warner Bros. is building the DC universe all over again.

Warner Bros. is moving forward with the Superman movie with a different actor and that will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman's life. Cavill recently played a cameo as Superman in "Black Adam" and he himself had announced his comeback as the iconic character, but now, he does not fit in DC's immediate future plans.



The decision to move on from Cavill as Superman was taken by DC Studios' co-chairs and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran who have been hired was Warner Bros. Discovery to shape up DC's future for the next 8-10 years. Cavill explained that his post from earlier in the year declaring that he would return as Superman was made prior to Warners hiring Gunn and Safran.

"I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and it's sad news, everyone", the actor posted to social media on Wednesday. "I will, after all, not be returning as 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".

"The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes", he added. Cavill went on to say that while his supporters are disappointed the focus should be on the Man of Steel's future.



"Superman is still around. My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. It's been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards".
