Director James Gunn, who is famously known for Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise, has been roped in for a new Superman movie for DCEU. Explaining his disagreement with the director, the 39-year-old actor wrote on Wednesday, Thursday 14, "I will, after all, not be returning as Superman,” Cavill wrote, adding, “After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build." Back in October, Cavill announced his exit from Netflix's 'The Witcher' and the fans thought it had something to do with his return as DC's Superman aka Clark Kent. Now, they are pissed as he will not be playing either Geralt of Rivia or Superman.
