‘This news isn’t the easiest’: Henry Cavill shares moving note as he bids adieu to DCEU’s Superman character
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In early October, Henry Cavill starred as Kryptonian superhero in the post-credit scene of Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam.' Fans went wild when Cavill later confirmed his return as Superman for DC Studios' upcoming project. But that did not last long, as Cavill has bid farewell to the superhero character he's played since 2013 in an emotional note.
James Gunn has also spoken out on Twitter, confirming that Cavill will not return as Superman. Instead, the search is on for a new, slightly younger actor for the role, as the storyline may require it. Gunn also confirmed that he and DC Studios co-president Peter Safran have finalized a DC slate and will announce more in the new year. Cavill, on the other hand, acknowledged in his social media announcement that change is the only constant, assuring fans that Superman is still out there, even if Cavill's own time as the wearer of the red cape is over. Zack Snyder had already called Cavill "the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield"
