Henry Cavil is Reportedly No Longer Superman in DC Extended Universe

A shocking news broke among the Superman fans when Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros and DC Universe and no longer playing Superman.
The actor turned heads last week when he signed on for the lead role in the upcoming Netflix fantasy series The Witcher which appears Cavill’s decision to join the series was made with the knowledge that his DC Films duties are likely coming to an end.
The British actor, who first donned the blue suit for 2013’s Man of Steel,and then starred in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and last year’s Justice League,is suiting up for new Netflix fantasy in lead role.
“While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement.
Cavill’s manager, Dany Garcia, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but did tweet a message that seemed to suggest Cavill wasn’t done playing the big guy just yet.
Warners had been trying to enlist Cavill, who most recently co-starred in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, for a Superman cameo in Shazam!, which stars Zachary Levi and will bow April 5. But contract talks between Cavill’s WME reps and the studio broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances.
Superman may not be the only DC hero that’s getting recast: Ben Affleck is said to be on his way out as well. The upcoming Matt Reeves Batman film is said to be looking to feature a younger version of the character played by a different actor.
“Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet. @wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe,” Garcia wrote in the tweet.
