Henry Cavill Isn't Playing Superman Anymore—And Fans Aren't Happy
According to an inside report from The Hollywood Reporter, British actor Henry Cavill will no longer be reprising his role as Superman in the Warner Bros. DC extended universe films.

The movie studio was apparently trying to negotiate a cameo role for Cavill in the upcoming Shazam! film, "but contract talks between Cavill's WME reps and Warners broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances."
"Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors," a Warner Bros. source told THR.
As expected, DC fans weren't happy about this news...
\u201cHenry Cavill isn't Superman anymore.\n\nIt's not even 9 am but today is over.\u201d— BD (@BD) 1536760822
\u201cHenry Cavill out? I'm done with DC. #Superman #HenryCavill\u201d— Chanel \ud83d\udc8b\ud83c\udf78\ud83e\udd42 (@Chanel \ud83d\udc8b\ud83c\udf78\ud83e\udd42) 1536764171
\u201cHenry Cavill is better off on his own. I mean, did you see Mission: Impossible - Fallout?\u201d— Roberto (@Roberto) 1536764167
\u201cThat Henry Cavill #Superman news is genuinely disappointing because Justice League saw him just beginning to actually get to be Superman. I would have loved to see him get an actual chance to play the Superman we all know and love.\u201d— Will Jones (@Will Jones) 1536764164
Hopefully it won't be too long until we see Henry in another iconic, heroic role...
