These movies have been a mess for a long time now. It's probably best to either reboot but keep the actors that worked like Gal or do what they did after the Burton movies, keep the continuity but change actors when needed.

There's always been talk of a Red Sun Superman movie, which would be an Elseworlds. So I could see them doing that, after the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie. In which case, it wouldn't matter if Cavill was Superman or not.
I'll wait till Warner Bros. comment before freaking out over this. My initial reaction, though, is I'll be sorry to see him go. Cavill was a good fit for the role, but more importantly he genuinely seemed enthused to play Superman, regardless of the amounts of negative press these films received. He earns a lot of good will from me for that.

Honestly WB should be trying harder with big budget animated movies since those are the only ones doing good at the moment. All the Lego movies were hits but they haven't been doing anything else and now Marvel/Sony is going to kick off their Spider-Verse movies which could be a huge deal for them.

According to you people Ben Affleck left the role of Batman a year ago. The rumours that Henry Cavill was leaving was entirely spurred by the news that he was being cast in a Witcher series. My friends made a joke about that this 'confirmed' he was leaving the role too, but they knew they were being stupid when they did it.

The more muddled and confusing this gets the more I don't care about these movies. The DCEU movies have been wasted potential after another with few executions. It's cool if you like these movies but WB acknowledges that they didn't do what they wanted otherwise they wouldn't be in this situation. This house was built on a terrible foundation of Zack Synder's style over substance form of filmmaking mixed with an overall depressing bleak tone that doesn't fit with DC's public outlook (at-least pre-IC for comic fans) and a terrible pseudo adaptation of DKR as your first crossover of heroes. There was only one way this was going, public recoiled back. I get everything they were trying to do, I really do but just because something looks good on paper doesn't mean it will win the world's hearts and minds.
Now it's back to the drawing board and hope the next thing that comes out will be better. I still can't believe that the firsts of live-action DC were wasted. (Batman/Superman, Trinity, JL)

I recall seeing something in regards to Warner’s Bros hold on the Superman rights being in jeopardy thanks to the legal battles with Siegel family over the profits to should be entitled to. The family lost the lawsuit but the silver lining for the family is they could be eligible to sue Warners again if Warners doesn’t make a Superman movie in time therefore potentially losing the rights to the Siegel family.
And here’s an article I found.

It seems I misremembered and for now Warners has the Superman rights

Rumors has it that Michael B Jordan is one of the considered replacements for Henry Cavill.

Sounds like we could be getting Val-Zod, which honestly works better for the studio creatively. The public has no preconceived notions about the type of person Val-Zod should be, which makes him malleable; like what the MCU did.

Michael B. Jordan is considered by WB for every role.
It would be interesting for no other reason than to see if he could transform his body even more than he already has - which is pretty insane for sure. But for me personally, no other actor has fit the embodiment of Superman the way Cavill has since Christopher Reeve.
I'd much rather see Michael B play John Stewart Green Lantern.
