'We lost Geralt for nothing': 'The Witcher' fans fume after Henry Cavill fired from new Superman movie
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It has been a rollercoaster for Henry Cavill and his cavalry of fans. The actor has now confirmed that he will not be returning as Superman in the DC Extended Universe and his fans are angry with the studio's decision. In an Instagram post, Cavill revealed that despite the studio telling him to announce his return as the 'Man of Steel', he will not go forward with the idea that is being helmed by James Gunn. The fans are upset as Cavill earlier exited 'The Witcher' and now Superman.
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.
