Gunn has to do a hard reboot with new actors because general audiences will never give DC a chance if they keep seeing the same actors in the same roles, they'll think it's the same old DCEU. A hard reboot will also allow for a clean slate with zero confusion about the direction of the DCU and it will put an end to any Snyder speculation. It makes sense financially, creatively and from a marketing perspective.
I honestly wish that the Cavill situation was handled differently. His return shouldn't have been announced if he was not officially in the role because it just looks like they completely did him dirty 😕
He did state this on his official social media too. I mean it's a shame since he can always be an updated Superman without no connection to the previous films within the Snyderverse.
The issue is the WB execs announced him back but that was before Gunn and Safran were hired as DC heads. Tbh I'd blame The Rock for pushing so hard for Cavill to return.
@1God1Christ he was done dirty by The Rock. He admitted he went past Hamada to get to the WB execs. WB execs approved before Gunn arrived. So I agree, Cavill was done dirty by the Rock and WB execs.
Honestly, this breaks my heart. Henry was so passionate and loved the character. I loved him as superman as well. I think it's just disrespectful and unfortunate cuz Henry is such a good superman. Shame really
I was all foe rebooting. I really was. But that didn't mean they needed to replace the actors. It's not the actors fault foe the previous studios shortcomings but the fact that they asked Henry to announce his return ... There is no leadership
I agree but I also see it from Gunns point of view. This is his one shot and if he's called to tap into his creative genius and tell the best stories he can he shouldn't have to be handicapped with other peoples drama! Starting fresh will surely anger folks but it's truly the only way for him not be free of the drama and baggage from the other actors and characters. I applaud him for his bravery and although I'm gonna miss Cavil I'm excited to see what Gunn does!
Im heartbroken, Henry was my Superman, his theme inspired me and pushed me to fly. Me and my dad watched man of steel together on the way to my grandmas house, his favorite character ever being Superman. Our age long arguments of who was faster, supes or flash, the fights around the house as supes. His love for the Christopher reeves version and the symbol of supes made me love the character even more to the point of becoming one of my favorite superhero's right behind flash and sometimes even passing him haha. I've seen MoS an uncountable amount of times. Henry's love and admiration flew threw the screen in his performance and the passion and hope he managed to inject into a hopeless universe made me believe i could fly. The theme playing in my headphones when i would bike to school wind in my hair and a smile on my face, i would try to recreate the faces henry made when first flight played. Im a young adult now, when that movie came out and i was a teenager live was simple, i look back on that movie with the fondest of memories, along with things like Minecraft. Learning and growing with this movie as a guide of hope. A beacon of strength in a weak and hopeless world that i was seemingly surrounded with. Superman will continue to be my hope, to be my strength. But it will be because of Henry. Because of Henry i have a hero. I have the character my dad would pretend to be and still to this day, refers to himself as. Superman. The greatest character ever written, filmed, portrayed. Whoever they choose to dawn the S next has the greatest shadow to outshine. The light of hope from Supes will never dim. And for me, it is because of Henry.
Watching him back on bigscreen as superman. Watching him being enthusiastic and happy on interview asked about being back as superman. All of this, only to watch him once again, might be no more, walk away from the cape. Absolutely heartbreaking.
This feels like the ultimate punch to the gut. I was so excited to see Henry finally get another chance to play Superman again, and now it's over before it even began. Poor Henry deserved better than this BS.
I feel bad for Henry. He was clearly passionate about the character and DC as a whole. It’s annoying that it was JUST announced he’d be back but I guess this makes sense if a DC reset is on the horizon.
It's clearly a full reboot at this point with Batman, Aquaman, WW and Superman being out. I'm 100% surprised they haven't announced The Flash is out yet considering Ezra should've been first to be announced as gone.
@@MrBrock314 they don't wanna draw attention to that movie because it'll just bring up his drama. That's probably why they're quiet about Ezra, but he's definitely already been fired
I am truly outraged and heartbroken. Cavill’s announcement to return as superman brought me so much joy and a bright future to look forward to. He brought so much to that character that no one else ever will. How can they expect us to continue our fandom without giving us a complete story with the actors we love. Henry Cavill will always be the best and truest superman.
is there any chance that Henry will be recruited by the MCU? if DC no longer needs him, it's better for him to join Marvel studio. he is suitable to play role as Hyperion / Sentry.
I am going to respectfully disagree. In Cavill’s statement, he blamed the studio for him looking a fool. Superman or a gracious person would never blame others for their own actions regardless of its truthfulness.
I feel horrible for Henrey. Not just because he got the axe, but because they should have made good movies in the first place. Had they not tried to rush to get to a crossover, and took the time to make good movies, this never would have needed to happen. While i think not having him back was the right move, I feel terrible for him because he clearly was very passionate about the role.
It’s a shame , they could’ve restarted the DCU with the same faces but with better movies. If WB knew how what they wanted to do for the past decade, it wouldn’t led up to this. Henry did had a good ride as Superman, it’s very difficult to see another person tackle the role.
@@broncosstampede494 you know Marvel is gonna recast wolverine down the line to. And eventually iron man.. Harry Potter, lord of the rings.. the freaking godfather.. in the end there will always be reboots and remakes.
Imagine if we no longer had RDJ as Iron man or Chris Evans as Cap after the first avengers film. Cavill in my eyes was PERFECT in the role and this is such a punch in the gut. This is really going to impact my personal enjoyment of future films as Cavill's return was leading the DC hype train for me but now it has completely derailed.
Yeah, Cavill being back was very good news for DC. We'll see what announcements they have in the new year but it will likely be years more before it pays off even if it does.
I don’t follow celebrities but Henry Cavill seems to conduct himself with the utmost class. I loved him as superman. But things happen and it seems pretty shitty that they told him to confirm his return then told him to take a hike. It’s just kind of weird. But i’m sure there’s more going on behind the scenes that we’ll never know about. At least until someone writes an all access exposé.
It’s a tough day for us fans. The real fans who supported the Snyder films are feeling it more today. Henry deserved his follow up to Man of Steel. The handling of this has made Henry look like a fool.
I’m so sorry guys I mean Cavill deserved another chance as Superman but it’s very heartbreaking that won’t be the case. I feel super horrible for Cavill right now with him leaving Witcher and now losing Superman. Damn man. I also wonder how The Rock is feeling now since he tried to get Cavill back as Superman.
Absolutely heartbreaking, James Gunn better deliver going forward with DC. There is nobody to replace Cavill in this role currently. Fans would agree he is the best choice.
I didn’t care much for Superman or the DC movies….until Henry played Superman and I fell in love. I was heartbroken when he announced he wouldn’t play Superman anymore, then I was really excited to see him again after his recent announcement….& now he’s back out. Very frustrating. Hopefully the doors will open for another great role for Henry soon😢❤
Hopefully at the next FanDCcom, the audience will shout in unison Cavill, Cavill, Snyder, Snyder, and leave the auditorium empty, that would be fantastic!!!
I'm heartbroken so I can only imagine how he's feeling. But he responded just like My Superman would. With Grace & Honor. And i will cherish Man Of Steel and his follow up films for the rest of my life. Congrats on the wedding, bud. Wish you nothing but the best & many Happy years.
The saddest thing to me is how due to almost two decades of ups and downs that James and Peter have inherited a situation where it’s going to be very hard to make a majority of fans happy
They're actively going out of their way to alienate most of the fans. Most fans liked Cavill, Gadot, Momoa, and some of the others. They could use The Flash to reboot the universe without complaining and recast a bunch of people, while keeping the popular ones. It makes no sense what they're doing and if the backlash is strong enough, Gunn will go.
@@jlg14450 I feel like DC is striving to create a string of films like the Marvel films. None of the Marvel movies through phase 1-3 are bad, they are all at least okay to incredible. I feel as though the studio and Gunn thinks that the bad movies like BvS and the OG Justice League, even WW2 would kinda mess with that string. I personally believe that the acting choices for these rolls were good, but the scripts didn’t really understand the characters that well (apart from WW mainly). I think the reboot will help them organize their shit and consistently make good movies
@@GeeklyGoods queue amazing grace. I really did kind of want to see superman fly all the nukes into the sun. I guess I'll settle with Apocalypse and the sand.
While I'm disappointed by this news, I am happy gunn and safran are open to working with Jason, ben and henry for future DC projects. I just hope gunn continues to make more suicide Squad projects as I loved that movie and it is one of the best DC movies I have seen and I love the characters he introduced. I definitely want to see more of Margot robbie as harley Quinn as gunn gave us the best iteration of the character as well as blood sport, ratcatcher and king shark.
The lesson is, never try, ESPECIALLY when DC is involve. But seriously, as much as I was happy to see him in that end credits scene.. was he really necessary for that teaser? Especially when there was no commitment to his return. Also this is gonna look really bad on Dwayne Johnson who said this movie was gonna be the start of a new universe.
I feel like we all knew this was going to happen but we just didn't know when or how all the signs were there all along, when the moment henry cavil announced he was coming back you heard silence from James gunn
Same. I grew up watching Christopher Reeves as Superman so absolutely no disrespect to Cavill, he did great but Reeves was always greater in my opinion.
I remember getting man of steel as a Christmas present on dvd… I wore my Superman cape when I thought I’d get fired at amc Burbank. But I didn’t. Man. I’m gonna miss this man in the suit.
Holy hell! Definitely did not expect this at all and now this news make us losing Henry for the Witcher hurt even more because a lot of us thought that was a huge reason along with the issues with the producers/writing staff. I was so excited for Henry to be back as the man of steel. Rip Best Superman yet for modern movies.
I know I'm in the minority, but I loved Man of Steel. It's actually the only film in that franchise that I rewatch ever. What a gracious guy. He must be heartbroken. Bless his heart.
You’re not in the minority bro, everyone hates this change, just don’t watch any of the new shit lmao I stop watching marvel after End Game bc now they are all the same, ppl need to be willing to stop watching trash lmao
The way both of you 'flowed' in your reactions, was quite admirable :D Actually, worthy of note on a topic, that shouldn't just be "incredible breaking news" for Comic fans - *but* anyone who follows movies, in general.:)
If WB is getting rid of Henry, then NONE of the older DCEU cast should be casted..Reboot EVERYTHING. This is a betrayal on the highest order to the fans if you let go of him and bring back the other actors... That's ridiculous..
I just don't get why they would announce Henry coming back when they really didn't know what was going on...we got all our hopes up and now they're crushed.
@@mattdavies6704 You would be incorrect. A cameo is not studio confirmation. A confirmation would be WB/Discovery/DC announcing (not Cavill, The Rock, or their teams) that Henry Cavill has signed a "x" picture deal to reprise his role as Superman.
@@clintbrew I mean Andrew and Tobey r from another universe, either way they’re not going anywhere, but this is more about the continuity and relationship of mcu with Netflix series on and off for years
Congratz and good luck with your wedding/marriage. I didn't quite understand the "big return" so to speak as I was not the biggest fan of his version anyway. I liked what he said when he announced his return, and how it seemed like they were going to take Supes in a different direction...more like Chris Reeves's version, but with the redo of DC movies, it just makes sense to recast ALL of the main characters. The good thing is that they could keep Levy as Shazam since he never actually appeared with any of them (except in the trailer for Shazam 2,) but this allows recast of Flash, Batman, Aquaman, and all of them that they want/can recast. I actually like the idea of Momoa as Lobo instead of Aquaman, but whatever, I have trust in the new DC team...for now.
The decision to fire Henry is 100% a James Gunn and Peter Safran decision. WB told Henry to announce his return and less than two months later, James and Peter fire him. But hey, keep around Amber and Ezra. New leadership, same problems.
It would feel so good if Cavill went on to play a major character in the Marvel universe and absolutely killed it. DC and Gunn screwed him over big time
GODDAMMIT! WHY?! They said that the old regime is gone and the new regime will restore the Snyderverse to make it better, WE DIDN'T MEAN TO FULLY REBOOT EVERYTHING!
On the bright side, if Gunn’s direction for the new DC universe goes well in the end, then finally. Been wanting DC to have the longevity success with a universe. Just wished Henry Cavill was a part of the plan even if the new Superman actor does the role justice (and I do hope the new actor do it justice. Some are done with DC after this, but I do want to see DC succeed and see what they come up with in this new journey. I’m not rooting for the failure of DC again). Again, I’m disappointed to not see anymore Cavill Superman. He was the perfect guy, and there was so much potential to do more with his Superman.
This is so embarrassing for Henry. Announcing hes back, leaving The Witcher, and then having to announce he is being replaced….a massive L and an awful start for Gunn
God this is so heart breaking. I try not to let this stuff get to me too much, but superman has meant the world to me since I was a kid. Henry has been an incredible superman and I was so hyped for more, I don't know why they announced it? It's so a crap thing to do to the fans. All it has done is left a bad taste in my mouth and some resentment toward their other projects. Normally I'd be cheering from rooftops at the idea of new superman, but now I'm just meh. Also, thanks for costing us The Witcher James 😅. I'm waiting for James to cancel Christmas next because it doesn't fit with their slate 😅
james gunn has been hired to fix the broken dceu which mainly requires rebooting most of the previous installments. henry cavill is 40 years old. im not sure what you guys wanted him to do??
Congratulations, Greg. May the wedding be great and may the marriage be even better! I am broken hearted for Henry. I wanted a better story/movie for Cavill’s Superman. I’m sad he’s not getting the chancer to do it. Breaks my heart because he really loves the character. I know Henry will be fine but it still makes me feel bad for him.
I just want DC to get their shit together, create a universe of characters and TRY to keep it together. Obviously it can be done (see Marvel). I’m just tired of hearing about what they’re changing with every update.
God, Cavil needs a break! Especially since he respects his characters and source material, a diamond in the rough! And one of the nicest people in acting!
I won't be paying to see any of the future movies. This is a huge bummer and their dragging it out is cruel. Can't wait to see how this ultimately winds up.
Despite loving Cavill's interpretation. I'm okay with this. There was no way to salvage this universe and if that meant that nothing stays in the new universe, then this is for the better and I have so much faith in James Gunn. I'm just sad for Cavill and terrified for whoever the new Superman is (due to the large amounts of hate he'll get)
I think this was the smartest decision to make from James Gunn and Peter Safran (regarding the longevity of the DCEU.) When you're in charge of a multi-billion-dollar franchise, you have to make tough decisions that may not be received well by the masses. More than anything, I am happy with the transparency we are getting from the DC heads and others involved. It's nice to see James Gunn actively answering fans' questions & concerns on social media apart from secondary sources. I'm excited to see who takes the mantle of Super-Man! Henry will always hold a dear place in our hearts.
He should not announce that he's back as Superman in the first place if he's truly not coming back. This news breaks my heart and I was excited for Man of Steel 2.
To be totally honest, while I’m sad to see Henry go, this really shows me that James Gunn has a solid vision for the future of DC. No baggage and a new, solid foundation for the future of the universe. Cavil has been Superman since 2013 now, almost a decade. The same length as Christopher Reeve and only a few years short of Tom Welling. Cavil had a great run, but I’m very much willing to open my arms to a new Superman.
Is the Flash movie still happening? If so Cavil may have been the last Man of Steel of our time, since the new Big Blue in the canon is Supergirl, according to the script leaks.
@@TheEmperorsLegion Mate, after Flash and maybe Blue Beetle, they’re doing a complete reboot of the universe. No one in that Flash movie will be seen after the film is over
How are you guys feeling about this?
- Leave A *LIKE* If You Enjoy Cavill's Work As Superman
I’m honestly gutted and pretty upset. Also feeling a tad petty towards Gunn’s new universe he’s building.
Who Can Capture The True Super Man Spirit Like Henry Did....WHO ILL WAIT!??
I think he’s the best Superman in my opinion, also focus on getting married dude! The field reporting is fun, but damn!!

I am truly heartbroken for Henry…. I was so excited to see him back in this role
They really had me out here thinking he was....smh
Nowhere! But I guess Gunn is really wanting to reboot!
@@GeeklyGoods queue amazing grace. I really did kind of want to see superman fly all the nukes into the sun. I guess I'll settle with Apocalypse and the sand.
While I'm disappointed by this news, I am happy gunn and safran are open to working with Jason, ben and henry for future DC projects. I just hope gunn continues to make more suicide Squad projects as I loved that movie and it is one of the best DC movies I have seen and I love the characters he introduced. I definitely want to see more of Margot robbie as harley Quinn as gunn gave us the best iteration of the character as well as blood sport, ratcatcher and king shark.
Its called lip service. We all know they dont want them in the projects
The lesson is, never try, ESPECIALLY when DC is involve.
But seriously, as much as I was happy to see him in that end credits scene.. was he really necessary for that teaser? Especially when there was no commitment to his return. Also this is gonna look really bad on Dwayne Johnson who said this movie was gonna be the start of a new universe.
Well, there was a commitment - it was the studio that greenlit his return. Then they hired Gunn/Safran and gave them total control and now he's out.
No there was commitment but fucking Gunn decided to do this.
Well, Dwayne clearly tried his best and showed that he was serious about the matter.
So, I don't think and hope, no one will be pissed off at him 😞.
It's a very sad day for Superman and Henry Cavill fans😥
I feel like we all knew this was going to happen but we just didn't know when or how all the signs were there all along, when the moment henry cavil announced he was coming back you heard silence from James gunn
I can see this going one way........downwards yet again 🙄🤦🏾♂️
Also taking bets for who Marvel Studios is now going to cast Henry Cavill as. Hyperion would be a pretty awesome move on their part
This news really bummed me out😔Henry will always be my favorite Superman
In my opinion.. comicbook superman still my favorite superman
Christopher Reeves is my Superman. Cavil did a great job as Superman, so it’s a real bummer that he won’t get a proper sequel.
Same. I grew up watching Christopher Reeves as Superman so absolutely no disrespect to Cavill, he did great but Reeves was always greater in my opinion.
Reeves as Superman/Clark is cartoony
@@havenht you are right. It is campy. But the impact the first two movies made is tremendous for its time. In this case, context matters.
I remember getting man of steel as a Christmas present on dvd… I wore my Superman cape when I thought I’d get fired at amc Burbank. But I didn’t. Man. I’m gonna miss this man in the suit.
Henry Cavill: 39 years old.
Robert Pattinson: 36 years old.
Right??? Age is around the same lol
DC is really just breaking my heart
Holy hell! Definitely did not expect this at all and now this news make us losing Henry for the Witcher hurt even more because a lot of us thought that was a huge reason along with the issues with the producers/writing staff. I was so excited for Henry to be back as the man of steel. Rip Best Superman yet for modern movies.
I know I'm in the minority, but I loved Man of Steel. It's actually the only film in that franchise that I rewatch ever. What a gracious guy. He must be heartbroken. Bless his heart.
you’re not in the minority, that film is fucking amazing, the fights were so well done
You’re not in the minority bro, everyone hates this change, just don’t watch any of the new shit lmao I stop watching marvel after End Game bc now they are all the same, ppl need to be willing to stop watching trash lmao
The way both of you 'flowed' in your reactions, was quite admirable :D Actually, worthy of note on a topic, that shouldn't just be "incredible breaking news" for Comic fans - *but* anyone who follows movies, in general.:)
If WB is getting rid of Henry, then NONE of the older DCEU cast should be casted..Reboot EVERYTHING. This is a betrayal on the highest order to the fans if you let go of him and bring back the other actors... That's ridiculous..
Legit the main, if not only, actor we wanted to keep...first one gone
I just don't get why they would announce Henry coming back when they really didn't know what was going on...we got all our hopes up and now they're crushed.
They didn't, Henry announced he was returning.
@@Redrgon25 pretty sure a movie appearance is studio confirmation...
@@mattdavies6704 You would be incorrect. A cameo is not studio confirmation. A confirmation would be WB/Discovery/DC announcing (not Cavill, The Rock, or their teams) that Henry Cavill has signed a "x" picture deal to reprise his role as Superman.
"The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change..."
That is so true, Dwayne. SO TRUE....
The Rock thought he was in charge of DC
Marvel deserves so much credit for not having to reboot 3 times in a decade like dc
Honestly after this devastating news, I couldn’t be more grateful of them for bringing back Charlie Cox as Daredevil
At the rate they're at, they might be due for one
Does spiderman count technically marvel
Spiderman 3 2007
Amazing spiderman 2012 to 2014
Civil war 2016
@@clintbrew I mean Andrew and Tobey r from another universe, either way they’re not going anywhere, but this is more about the continuity and relationship of mcu with Netflix series on and off for years
Congratz and good luck with your wedding/marriage. I didn't quite understand the "big return" so to speak as I was not the biggest fan of his version anyway. I liked what he said when he announced his return, and how it seemed like they were going to take Supes in a different direction...more like Chris Reeves's version, but with the redo of DC movies, it just makes sense to recast ALL of the main characters. The good thing is that they could keep Levy as Shazam since he never actually appeared with any of them (except in the trailer for Shazam 2,) but this allows recast of Flash, Batman, Aquaman, and all of them that they want/can recast. I actually like the idea of Momoa as Lobo instead of Aquaman, but whatever, I have trust in the new DC team...for now.
The decision to fire Henry is 100% a James Gunn and Peter Safran decision. WB told Henry to announce his return and less than two months later, James and Peter fire him. But hey, keep around Amber and Ezra. New leadership, same problems.
It would feel so good if Cavill went on to play a major character in the Marvel universe and absolutely killed it. DC and Gunn screwed him over big time
He will always be my Superman and my G
I am heartbroken bro I can't believe this
Thank you! Yes! They "killed" Henry's Superman and then didn't give us even a day to mourn that "death". smh
GODDAMMIT! WHY?!
They said that the old regime is gone and the new regime will restore the Snyderverse to make it better, WE DIDN'T MEAN TO FULLY REBOOT EVERYTHING!
Who said anything about restoring the Snyderverse? Fanboys seeing signals where there weren't, dig their own graves.
Rebooting everything is the best thing they can do, I've been hoping for this for years.
Really don't know where DC is headed anymore after this. I'm just done with it.
This is Disrespectful for Both Henry and DC Fans
On the bright side, if Gunn’s direction for the new DC universe goes well in the end, then finally. Been wanting DC to have the longevity success with a universe. Just wished Henry Cavill was a part of the plan even if the new Superman actor does the role justice (and I do hope the new actor do it justice. Some are done with DC after this, but I do want to see DC succeed and see what they come up with in this new journey. I’m not rooting for the failure of DC again). Again, I’m disappointed to not see anymore Cavill Superman. He was the perfect guy, and there was so much potential to do more with his Superman.
This is so embarrassing for Henry. Announcing hes back, leaving The Witcher, and then having to announce he is being replaced….a massive L and an awful start for Gunn
Did you watch The Suicide Squad? It's garbage ... And they put this guy in charge? 😂
@@Fiveash-Art I know that movie was shit and they think this guy is the saviour of DC. He actually buried DC by removing Henry
Henry will always be my fav Supes! I hope something great comes next for him, Cavill certainly deserves it. No Witcher or Superman is just dang sad
Fucking heartbreaking man... could have gotten a MoS 2 and Justice League sequel. So much damn potential lost...
My dreams almost came true, we were finally getting a new Superman movie then BOOM but no Henry. That hurt….
God this is so heart breaking. I try not to let this stuff get to me too much, but superman has meant the world to me since I was a kid. Henry has been an incredible superman and I was so hyped for more, I don't know why they announced it? It's so a crap thing to do to the fans. All it has done is left a bad taste in my mouth and some resentment toward their other projects. Normally I'd be cheering from rooftops at the idea of new superman, but now I'm just meh. Also, thanks for costing us The Witcher James 😅. I'm waiting for James to cancel Christmas next because it doesn't fit with their slate 😅
james gunn has been hired to fix the broken dceu which mainly requires rebooting most of the previous installments. henry cavill is 40 years old. im not sure what you guys wanted him to do??
Pretty sad news considering how long Henry has been trying to portray the character the way he wanted to. We were *this close*
With Henry gone, I wonder what we're going to hear about the latest regarding The Rock and his future in the DCU?
The Rock thought he was in charge of DC
The Rock would be butt hurt, around about now.
Sadly im done with DC. This one just did it. No matter what they do. The excitement is no longer there.
Henry Cavill IS SUPERMAN. The idea of a younger superman couldn’t sound more boring. Can’t wait for this terrible decision to backfire.
Cavill playing a older Superman make sense
Congratulations, Greg. May the wedding be great and may the marriage be even better! I am broken hearted for Henry. I wanted a better story/movie for Cavill’s Superman. I’m sad he’s not getting the chancer to do it. Breaks my heart because he really loves the character. I know Henry will be fine but it still makes me feel bad for him.
Imagine losing 2 of your dream roles in a week feels bad for Henry phenomenal actor and person
Being a DC fan is akin to being in a toxic relationship. You keep trying to give them another chance and they keep letting you down.
I just want DC to get their shit together, create a universe of characters and TRY to keep it together. Obviously it can be done (see Marvel). I’m just tired of hearing about what they’re changing with every update.
I just hope this means he's in the running for Bond
Famous people are never cast as James Bond
God, Cavil needs a break! Especially since he respects his characters and source material, a diamond in the rough! And one of the nicest people in acting!
What if Cavill partners with Marvel and becomes the Sentry? Talk about a atom bomb if he does lol
I had to see what you guys posted about this situation. You guys have the best chemistry and the best comedic reaction together. Love this channel
I won't be paying to see any of the future movies. This is a huge bummer and their dragging it out is cruel. Can't wait to see how this ultimately winds up.
Despite loving Cavill's interpretation. I'm okay with this.
There was no way to salvage this universe and if that meant that nothing stays in the new universe, then this is for the better and I have so much faith in James Gunn.
I'm just sad for Cavill and terrified for whoever the new Superman is (due to the large amounts of hate he'll get)
Congrats on the wedding bro🎉🎉 and ik people are gonna hate it but i think it’s the right idea to reboot everything
Super sad news about Henry Cavill. But on a positive note: Congrats on the wedding Greg!
Ps congrats on the wedding! I’m from Colorado, it’s gorgeous this time of year! Soak it up!
I don't think I have hope anymore.
I wonder is James Gunn gonna recast/reboot Peacemaker and the The Suicide Squad since its all the same universe but who knows.
Nah Cena's safe
Margot isn’t going anywhere either
Gérard Depardieu for the new Superman! Lets goooooo! He gets my vote.
🤣
Cavill wasn't "fired" from the studio. Gunn even tweeted about having just held a meeting with him.
He was though. They *just* brought him back and now they're letting him go again. Just because they had a meeting, that doesn't mean he wasn't fired.
He was fired, for Superman
The meeting was about sacking him.
The DCEU is such a mess... I love DC characters and hope things get better as time goes on.
Greetings from Denver, Colorado! ❤
I think this was the smartest decision to make from James Gunn and Peter Safran (regarding the longevity of the DCEU.) When you're in charge of a multi-billion-dollar franchise, you have to make tough decisions that may not be received well by the masses. More than anything, I am happy with the transparency we are getting from the DC heads and others involved. It's nice to see James Gunn actively answering fans' questions & concerns on social media apart from secondary sources. I'm excited to see who takes the mantle of Super-Man! Henry will always hold a dear place in our hearts.
Spoken like a tru mark and Gunn fanboy
...just go play your GOTG OST
Superman is now dead to me
He was just perfect... perfect.. Superman.. this is very heartbreaking 💔😢
I’m done with the DC Universe. I wish them all the best, but this OG fan is out.
Don't blame ya, it's been nothing but a mess. Hopefully Gunn can make things better!
I'm so done with WB and DC😡🤦🏾♂️
He should not announce that he's back as Superman in the first place if he's truly not coming back. This news breaks my heart and I was excited for Man of Steel 2.
To be totally honest, while I’m sad to see Henry go, this really shows me that James Gunn has a solid vision for the future of DC. No baggage and a new, solid foundation for the future of the universe.
Cavil has been Superman since 2013 now, almost a decade. The same length as Christopher Reeve and only a few years short of Tom Welling. Cavil had a great run, but I’m very much willing to open my arms to a new Superman.
Is the Flash movie still happening? If so Cavil may have been the last Man of Steel of our time, since the new Big Blue in the canon is Supergirl, according to the script leaks.
@@TheEmperorsLegion Mate, after Flash and maybe Blue Beetle, they’re doing a complete reboot of the universe. No one in that Flash movie will be seen after the film is over
He will forever be the best Superman to me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻
You don't know, the next Superman could be a hundred times better.
Hope Henry can get the James bond role now 👍
Henry deserves better than Bond. Personally, I'd like him to have his own series of movies like how Keanu Reeves has the John Wick series.
Goodbye to the Superman franchise too
I hear Henry Cavill is going to be in & producer of the amazon warhammer 40000 series
