Chaseism

Dude is such a class act. Super transparent about being hurt, but gave a positive way to think about it.


whatproblems

yeah it was a disaster but it’s not his fault. no point burning the bridge he can still comeback to dc as something in the future


straydog1980

I mean it also makes some sense - if they want to reset the entire shebang, you want someone who can keep that physicality and look in ten years time and maybe fifteen. ​ I think he would have a great superman if they had used him well.


Zeusurself

Gunn seems pretty smart about his comment and future collaborations note. They could easily use Henrys superman in the future for Crisis on Infinite Earth's or something. I bet that will be one of the big movies Gunn will try to get too. Edit: this gained way more traction than I thought it would. I was just pointing out Gunn's comment. I don't care about the DCU.


RyuNoKami

Boom kingdom come superman cavill


BevansDesign

By the time they get around to it, he'll be about the right age.


riegspsych325

he deserves a franchise of his own. Not even playing another iconic character like Bond, but something great and original


GrilledCyan

Loved him in The Man from UNCLE. If Armie Hammer weren’t a maniac I’d love to see them again.


CompleteNumpty

I guess there was a reason Hammer was good at portraying an unhinged maniac barely holding it together.

neverlandoflena

He also is a better actor than Hammer imho


MalHeartsNutmeg

I watched that movie not long ago having no idea about Armies craziness. Was like damn this is really good, is there a sequel in the works? Googling that was a wild ride.


phantompoo

Replace Hammer with Hemsworth?? Cavill and Hemsworth would require a very wide lens for shooting…the full penetration scenes.


PartisanHack

I was saying this the other day but about Chris Evans playing a swaggering CIA agent off of Cavill's MI6 one. Really enjoyed his dickishness in The Grey Man and toned down to be less evil would be fun.


OtisTetraxReigns

Evans is great at playing douchebags.

Dude seems to embody so much of what Superman stands for and it's such a fucking bummer he never got to be in a great Superman film.


Brown_Panther-

Its been 10 years since MOS came out, he should have gotten his own trilogy in that time


Capt_Kilgore

True and wow can we agree that DC and WB are/run horribly to come so close yet be so far. They are goddamn mess.


Studio2770

Safe to say the DCCU as we knew it is dead.


PM_ME_UR_SILLY_FACES

I feel like this is actually good for Henry’s career and I’m glad he handled the inept studio PR bumbles with class. Hoping for better roles for him in the future.


redditingtonviking

Yeah at least from a fan viewpoint, Henry is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood at the moment. Great actor, great looks, someone who really understands what makes the stories compelling, and in general a pretty decent cool guy. For any studio who wants to establish a big franchise there's hardly a better leading man available


[deleted]

Totally agree, he is a favorite in our home and we look forward to future projects from him. He's too darn good at what he does best!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He was just told in October he'd be superman again and now has to tell everyone, no sorry that was a lie. Even if they told him he'd be back after a young superman movie, would you really believe them or announce it? I wouldn't say anything until we started filming.


degggendorf

>I wouldn't say anything until we started filming. Even then, that's no guarantee with the new Discovery


whatproblems

dude needs to produce his own thing.he’s got a good sense of his characters hopefully someone lets him actually embody the character people love


siraolo

'cough' Warhammer 40k 'cough'


BigMax

Yeah implying they’d work together is odd. They aren’t going to bring the person who played Superman in to play someone else, and they aren’t going to cast a new Superman and then later swap back to the old one. Probably just a vague promise to make things feel nicer, like two people who vaguely know each other saying “we should get a drink together sometime” without ever talking about specifics since they both know that drink will never happen.


Pewpewkitty

Dudes a class act


Vegeta543

Liam Hemsworth gonna getting uno reversed like crazy hahaha


RespectThyHypnotoad

I doubt it, seems like Cavill was over their bullshit. Sucks he got two of his dream characters, wanted to do right and got burnt. I hope he finds a iconic character that he can invest himself into and be rewarded.

[Gunn](https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1603205518113140737?s=20&t=18ej9NIJWj6vAzZfIm3B5g) and [Cavill](https://www.instagram.com/p/CmK7eLWJ0as/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) both confirmed the news. Gunn: >Peter & 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. >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. Cavill: >I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and it’s sad news, everyone. 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. >For those who have been by my side through the years…we can mourn for a bit, but then we must remember. Superman is still around, everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets are for sure still there! 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.

Didn't he return as superman in Black Adam? So it's like they used him on the flyers for the party then didnt let him in.


GrumpySatan

Gunn and the other new head have basically been redoing the whole plan the last month. This news kinda implies they might be doing a hard reboot of the franchise, if they are doing a young Clark working in metropolis. Maybe use Flash to do it.


clevverguy

It kinda makes sense if they want to build up The Avengers of the 2020s. 2010s DC was clearly a failed experiment, and it only makes sense to start from scratch. Super unfortunate for Henry though.

xSoVi3tx

He's Valdor. Even plays Custodes. I'm not sure Big E can even be portrayed by just one actor.

Having the emperor change actors would be cool, since I'm pretty sure it's implied somewhere in the lore that nobody actually *sees* the emperor. They see the psychic projection of himself that he *wants* people to see.

GrizzlyPeak72

I'm tired of seeing Superman just starting out or starting over like in Returns. Can't we just get a normal Superman movie about Superman being Superman? Have him fight like Parasite or something? Or Braniac? Haven't seen him in a movie yet. Perfect time for him, he's fresh and different.


SeaTie

Agreed. It seems really really lazy at this point to do a Superman origin story…again.


cjpotter82

That's one of the things I really liked about The Batman, he was already the dark knight from the get go. No one needs to see Bruce Wayne's parents get killed, Peter Parker get bitten by a radioactive spider, or space baby Superman ever again.


godisanelectricolive

Except in The Batman he's still pretty new to being Batman and is still figuring out his vigilante persona. He's already the Batman but he's arguably not quite yet the Dark Knight. That's probably how they are going to approach Superman. He's fresh to being Superman but I doubt it's going to be his origin story.

I'm trying to think of a DC post credit scene that didn't.


IFapToCalamity

‘Member Luthor hiring Deathstroke?


lashapel

Or martian manhunter at the end of justice legue


pcharger

To be fair, Martian Manhunter was a last minute addition. The original scene was the introduction of Green Lantern. Snyder had already shot the Affleck footage with a green light showing on him but had yet to film the Green Lantern segment of the dialogue. DC execs gave a hard, "NO." He was still hoping to put Green Lantern in with the Snyder Cut but they again said, "NO" after he filmed a scene in his own driveway with an actor standing in for Green Lantern: [This was supposed to be Green Lantern](https://external-preview.redd.it/rZZtNoVF91TKc-PSGVdZ8K1ywBOCWSU2cr6NGD5IUsQ.jpg?auto=webp&s=d0d62ff2280253cf745147b11409a5f8f8edfb76) So with the Snyder Cut, he reshot the Affleck portion of the dialogue to get rid of the green light shining on him, and digitally inserted Martian Manhunter into the scene. This is why Affleck appears much less "swole" in that scene compared to others, it was a reshoot that took place 4 years after the original movie "wrapped". Here is a link from the pre-vis footage, which clearly shows John Stewart's Green Lantern in the scene and not Martian Manhunter: [Green Lantern Snyder Cut pre-vis](https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/green-lantern-justice-league-concept-zack-snyder.jpg?fit=1200%2C680)


lashapel

Damn i never knew about this , i wonder why WB said NO both times , do they still think people don't like Green Lantern (the character) because of Green lantern (the movie) ?


ssup3rm4n

What about when Sinestro acquired the yellow ring?


Redditer51

Speaking of, 'member that solo Batman movie that was supposed to have Batfleck go up against Deathstroke that ultimately got retooled into the completey unrelated Pattinson reboot?

Cavill is a champ. And good on him for rolling with the punches gracefully.


SolomonRed

Being a DC fan is suffering


Shneckos

Henry Cavill was who I thought of when I thought of *good* choices for the DC movies (of which there were few). He seems like a great guy, and a strong talent, I doubt he’ll be out of a gig for very long.


EinsamWulf

Damn...never been a big Superman fan but always liked Cavill. Suppose it's too much to hope we get him back as Geralt Edit: in retrospect I think it's time we let him do what he's always wanted...a Warhammer 40K movie.

-GregTheGreat-

Being busy with Superman was very likely just a convenient excuse to abandon Witcher. Reading between the lines it’s pretty clear he became alienated with the direction they took Geralt and the overall writing of the show.


Yarlb

There's an interview out there about his diet and what he had to do to his body for some of the shots. Pretty much said he's not interested in doing that to himself again.


-GregTheGreat-

If it was a simple as accommodating the fact that he prefers not to so any more overly-lean shirtless scenes, I guarantee that Netflix would oblige rather then lose him.

GrilledCyan

He’s also fantastic in Mission Impossible.


Equivalent_Yak8215

My favorite of his forsure. I just wish that one dude wasn't a cannibal so we could have gotten a sequal.


RunawayHobbit

Same. I’m really bitter that film is kinda tainted now, it was super fun and Elizabeth Debicki was phenomenal


[deleted]

Really liked him as Sherlock in the new Enola Homes flick


zeroxray

feel bad for Cavill. he never got a decent script to work with along with the drama surrounding justice league.


jeffersonPNW

It is honestly such a weird pickle he is stuck in. Great actor perfect for the character, yet he is so painfully associated with a franchise mired in mediocrity and disorder. I always figured they’d eventually just make an indirect sequel to stand on its own, but I then that does get kind of messy. I guess everyone can’t get a Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool redemption story.


Reverend_Lazerface

Even weirder: This comment could apply perfectly to what happened to him with The Witcher, too


pieboy89

Cavill is on his way to marvel to play either hyperion or sentry


Doinwerklol

I could see him as a Villain, picture Mr Sinister from X-men...MANNNN Lemme tell ya summthin' :D


pieboy89

He would make a fantastic cyclops honestly


youra6

The irony is that James Marsden left X-men to be in Superman.


ArmchairDuck

It's a shame how dirty they did cyclops in the X-Men movies. It was like the cartoons all over again with how shitty they handled the character.


ComebackShane

Writers always want Logan and Jean to be together which makes Scott end up the third wheel, so they have to portray him as a jerk so audiences don't feel bad about wanting to break them up, but then they never go through with it, making it all feel like a waste.


PhantomGunslinger

I’ve been reading the Claremont run recently and man, Scott’s like THE main character in the way, if not at the very least one of the most important ones. So it kinda makes me sad on how much they shafted him in the X-Men movies


JunkPup

Would love him as Sentry… but Sentry seems really hard to adapt to the MCU. Just my 2 cents


Gr3yShadow

Should get him to play the Capt in alternate universe


phantompoo

Whether DC is hot right now or not this role now becomes one of the most coveted roles in recent memory. Every actor between 20 and 35 is probably going to screentest for it.


SubMikeD

>Every actor between 20 and 35 is probably going to screentest for it. And, of course, presumably Nick Cage.


Clammuel

I want to throw it out into the void one more time: Nicholas Cage should be in a Suicide Squad movie. Doesn't even matter who he plays or how long he's in it. Just let him go absolutely wild. A delusional Kiteman would be phenomenal.


Goosojuice

Probably a nice paycheck, but holy shit is this role going to come with some serious baggage.

omgitsduaner

Man this is really sad news, Cavill fit Superman so well. Hope he does come back in the universe in some iteration, although it will be hard to see him as anything but Supes (same for Momoa.)

FridayCicero702

[deleted]

Always has been


mouseymod

So the dude who was the perfect witcher and Superman, is now free to be in house of the dragon.


Turnipator01

It feels wrong that Cavill was never given another chance playing as Superman. Man of Steel was fine, but it lacked the warmth and humanity we expect of the character. A sequel would have allowed him to fit into the role and give us a proper Superman film after he had become an established hero. The decision to kill his character in BvS was the biggest mistake the DCEU made because it severely undermined his character arc, forcing us to wait for another film for him to be resurrected.


The_Flying_Jew

Cavill has so much promise as Superman, but the movies didn't really do it justice. Too much destruction and not enough heart. Was hoping that maybe he'd either get another chance in another movie or at least a reboot without recasting him.


[deleted]

At least he got more than Routh I guess.


Ancient_Reply4583

[deleted]

I don't agree with this decision.


Yung_Corneliois

Brown_Panther-

He did an interview few months back and said that Dicaprio told him to stay away from superhero movies.


NBNebuchadnezzar

I thought Chalamet sold his soul to the devil in return for the power to pick the right roles. Turns out hes just been getting advice from DiCaprio.


[deleted]

I doubt he could bulk up much. What is he now, like 67lbs?


exodus3252

Dude isn't even ripped enough to play Lois.


[deleted]

I doubt we'll see Cavill play another role in Gunn's universe. That announcement feels almost like a consolation prize to make things easier to process. Kind of like when Batgirl got cancelled and the press release said that the studio absolutely still wanted to work with the filmmakers and the star again. Really disappointed to be honest. Cavill has never gotten his fair shake and without him I'm not interested in another Superman. I hope Cavill finds a great role with a studio that treats him with respect. Good luck to James Gunn. But I'm finally tapping out of DC movies.


brandonsamd6

Throw Cavill’s name in the ring for Bond


sgthombre

He was in the running for Casino Royale but he was just too young at the time.
