Imagine kicking Henry out and keeping Amber Heard and Ezra miller

[MJ-kjvg]

Just when you thought they saved the DcU they go and prove just how inept they truly are.

[lynch]

As a kid born in the '60s, he was the best Superman, Superman will live forever and will yield to no man

[draconian]

Update: Henry Cavill will star in a series set in the grimdark future of Warhammer 40k.

[joeljr.]

No. don’t do that, Henry. You’re the great Superman of all time.

[thekingsservant]

I bet they didn't want to pay him what he is worth!

I HOPE THE NEXT SUPERMAN MOVIE BOMBS BIGTIME!

[traydaniel]

Didn’t James Gunn fired him as Superman? There’s no Superman without Henry Cavill. Just cast him as James Bond

[allenlong]

why cant they do both movies keep Henry as he is and another younger good Bye Dc

[DucNguyen-ekvq]

That pronunciation of "Cavill" was sad

[entertainmentunivers]

A few weeks ago We hear Henry is back as Superman. Now Warner Bros says he’s not! I hate Warner Bros.. They can never get their priorities or facts straight. No wonder they are where they are with DC.

[Elviscasillas]

That thumbnail look like Henry Cavill could pass for wolverine

[Robby_Rob]

Retirement? Are you serious? He was unjustly fired, there fixed it for you.

[kaoticwatching]

And just when I was having hopes for WB they just want to loose it all… they supposed be turning it around with HBO max Discovery and then they pull this crap……

[putinscat]

In a letter to Gunn Cavill said, "I'm gonna pull out a Super can of whoop a.. on ya."

[reptilexcq]

No one can replace Christopher Reeves aura and personality on the screen. Henry Cavill lacks charm and far from being likeable to me. I think he looks great with the cape though and if anyone that look anything remotely close to Reeve, it is him but I always feel he doesn't have the charm and because of that, he's better off playing a villain type of Superman. Dark Superman or something...like he's perfect for that.

[colorwrld]

The man is probably tired of having to eat tren sandwiches before each film....big ups to him tho.

[brenda]

Someone on Daily Fail made a good point... Superman should be American...not British. I absolutely agree! Good luck to him though.

[duvine]

Brandon Routh reprised his role of superman in league of legends; maybe the same will happen HC with another tv show.

[JB-mblm]

Good luck finding better supe. It ain't happening

[mikusoxlongius]

He doesn't want to have to do a male on male role.
All the super heroes are getting, flamboyant.
