Henry Cavill’s message on his return as Superman
Henry Cavill’s return as Superman seemed confirmed: the 39-year-old British actor had already resigned last October released a message formalizing his return as Clark Kent after a briefing Appearance in the film Black Adam. A return to the origin of many rumours who could explain that his sudden departure
I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it’s sad news for everyone. After all, I’m not coming back as Superman. After the studio told me to announce my return in October before they were hired, this news isn’t the easiest of news, but such is life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have to build a universe. I wish them and everyone involved in the new universe good luck and all the best.
A message that also carries his sadness (“For those who have been by my side over the years… we can cry a little“), but encourages his fans to look to the future: After all, Superman will continue to exist.
Cavill fired by Superman but not by DC?
The question that arises after this thunderclap exit inevitably lies in this sudden turnaround: Why bring Henry Cavill back in October only to finally announce his departure two months later? It was DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn who came back in one on the reasons for that decision thread
Among those on the panel 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.

Peter (Safran, DC Studios Co-CEO, ed.) and I have a finished DC roster, which we are very excited about. Early in the new year we will be able to share exciting information about our first projects. Among those on the list is Superman. First, the story will focus on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.
Like Disney with that Marvel Cinematic UniverseDC wants to expand the universes of each of its licenses. The Clark Kent / Superman project is intended to illustrate the beginnings of the first before his transformation into a superhero: So it takes a young actor that Henry Cavill can’t satisfy. However, James Gunn said he met with Cavill and they talked about it.many exciting opportunities to work together” in the future.
A universe that is nevertheless being built without Henry Cavill for the time being. A twist that’s likely to have the actor asking about his next projects: when he left The Witcher series, other rumors surfaced Disagreements between him and the production about the character of Geralt. Leaving the Netflix series was therefore perhaps a wish on his part, as he failed to infuse his character with what he wanted. A decision, should it come true, that he might regret today with his retirement from the role of Superman.
