Henry Cavill Being Replaced as Superman Draws Confusion, Disbelief From Fans
Just a Thought
all i’m saying is if henry cavill can be dropped as superman a month after announcing his return then liam hemsworth can also be dropped as geralt of rivia 🤷🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/KL6V1psQYc

Around the same time that Cavill announced his return as Superman, he announced his departure from The Witcher. Presumably, his exit was due to his role as the Man of Steel.

We literally had the best casting for Superman for our generation. How in the world do you leave him without a new film for 6yrs to only bring him back to the greatest ovations in years to then cut him out completely? pic.twitter.com/8aqQ3JZAR8

Fans are baffled by this latest development. After all, Cavill was a fantastic Superman.
prevnextTragic
Henry Cavill loved The Witcher but he clearly wanted the studio to respect the book material and it must have disappointed him to see them mock it. He ended up eventually leaving it behind for Superman only for DC to drop him again within 2 months.

It's actually wild to see how this situation has played out. As this fan noted, Cavill "deserved better."

The news has fans reflecting on Cavill's Superman journey. He really was great in the role.
prevnextWow
Henry Cavill was an amazing Superman and it's so sad to see him leave. He'll forever be our Superman, but don't let that kill the hype of another great Superman actor. We, as DC fans, should love all things Superman.

"Peter [and] I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn't be more over-the-moon about; we'll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year," Gunn stated about the switch-up. "Among those on the slate is Superman. 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. 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 his message to fans, Cavill wrote that "Superman is still around." The actor continued, "Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there!"
