British actor Henry Cavill posted on social platforms today, saying that he had just met with the new heads of DC and was determined not to return to play Superman.
Henry said: "I just finished a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran, and you will hear the sad news that I will not be returning as Superman. In October, before [Gunn and Safran] were hired, Warner told me I was going back to Superman. It's not easy to announce the news now, but that's life. ”
Henry also wishes Gunn the new DC Cinematic Universe that he is about to build, and everyone involved in the new cinematic universe, while thanking the fans who have supported him over the years for this wonderful journey in the Superman cape.
"We can be sad for a moment, but remember: Superman is always there, the spirit he represents is always there, and the example he sets for us is always there. My cape years are over, but the Superman spirit lives on. It has been a happy journey with you, and I wish you a bright future. ”
It is reported that it was previously revealed that Warner's new head Gunn is operating a new Superman movie, which will focus on Superman's early years and starring other new actors. Gunn also discussed with Cavill the possibility of collaborating on other works in the future.
Henry Cavill has previously starred in movies such as "Superman Returns", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman", "Justice League" and other movies as "Superman", and guest starred in "Black Adam" as an Easter egg surprise.
However, due to the recent changes in Warner's leadership, the new heads of DC Pictures, James Gunn and Peter Safran, have new plans for the future direction of DC Pictures, and the future of many DC projects has changed.
