Background: Official: Henry Cavill no longer plays SupermanToday it was announced that Henry Cavill will no longer play Superman. Immediately after the news, the actor posted an appeal to fans on social networks.
I just met with James Gunn and Peter Safran and I have some sad news. I will not return to the role of Superman. After being asked by the studio to announce their return in October. This happened before Gunn and Safran were hired.
The news isn’t the easiest thing, but such is life. There is something like a changing of the guard going on right now. I respect it. James and Peter have to build an entire universe and I wish them and everyone involved in the new universe the best of luck and happiness.
For those who have stood by my side over the years… We can grieve a little together, but then we have to remind ourselves that Superman is still here. The values he stands for and the examples he gives us still exist today! My time of wearing a cape is over, but what Superman represents will be forever. It was a fun ride, with ups and downs.
