At the end of October, Henry Cavill announced his return to the role of Superman. The actor once again donned the red and blue leotard in Black Adam, assuring fans that more surprises are in store for fans in the future. Looks like he promised too much.

DC Films co-CEO James Gunn officially confirmed today that Henry Cavill will no longer play Superman. A new film is already in development, but it will be a story about Clark Kent’s early years. According to Gunn, this isn’t a story about becoming a hero in the mind of the first Spider-Man.
