Henry Cavill definitely hangs up the cape and says goodbye to Superman

Henry Cavill has announced that, after a whole series of rumors in recent weeks, will not continue as Superman in the DCU. The actor shared the news himself in an Instagram post this past Wednesday (December 14), where he confirmed that he had been told during a meeting with DC that new studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are working on a new movie about a younger Clark Kent.

This situation is likely to come as a big surprise to fans, as Cavill recently returned to the role in a cameo in ‘Black Adam’ after years of uncertainty about his future within DC movies.

“The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect itCavill wrote on Instagram.James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them, and everyone involved in the new universe, the best of luck and the happiest of fortunes.“.

The former ‘Man of Steel’ acknowledged that while he will “cry a little” now, he wants fans to remember that “Superman is still around.” Gunn underscored that fact in his own statement on social media, essentially confirming reports that he is writing a draft for a new Superman movie.

“Peter and I have a DC slate out of the box which we couldn’t be more excited about – we’ll be able to share exciting information about our first projects early in the new year,” Gunn wrote on Twitter.

“Among the names on that list is Superman. In the early stages, our story will focus on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had A great meeting with Henry and we are huge fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.”

We will see what plans Safran and Gunn have in DC, since they also met with Patty Jenkins after the announcement of the cancellation of ‘Wonder Woman 3’. The filmmaker explained in a letter on Twitter the cancellation of the film, thus eradicating any rumors that have appeared after the announcement.

Last October there were many who were moved by the post-credits scene of ‘Black Adam’, in which Cavill resumed the character, reuniting with the character of Dwayne Johnson. “”It’s been a while since someone made the world so nervous. Black Adam, we need to talk.“So the fans were excited about the return of the actor.

We will have to wait and see what Gunn and Safran’s plans are (and if there are any more flashy changes).
