Cavill no longer will play Superman according to Hollywood Reporter.

[Last Son of Krypton]

"The word has been out that Warner Bros. has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time, even considering casting Michael B. Jordan in the role down the road."

Superman is a hard part to cast as you need someone big, who can act and play the different sides of the character.

Hulk Hogan woud be perfect.

Cavill was plain awful. And much of the criticism of the films falls on his head.

Well, there's a basis in canon for a black Superman, but still..,

Ever since Man of Steel was announced, I kept having a scene from Rocky IV loop in my head with regards to the DC movieverse. It's where Rocky and Apollo run along the beach and Rocky stops and walks away. Apollo keeps asking him to keep trying and Rocky mumbles 'tomorrow', and, frustrated and angry, Apollo says: 'There is no tomorrow!'

Only replace the word with 'plan'.

There was no plan. It was pretty clear (to me) from the beginning.

Sure, Snyder may have had an arc in mind etc, but there was no actual plan.

They shivved us with Superman Returns and then they Agent Smith-ed us with Justice League.

This just reminds me of the 2016 Wipe where Charlie Brooker repeatedly spits water all over himself at everything that happened with Brexit

It's pretty hard to mourn Cavill's defection when they tried to course-correct his Superman (or, if you prefer, DCEU Superman - of course you can't blame the actor himself) THREE times in a row. After a while, it's like spreading peanut butter on a rotten sandwich and hoping that it has a good taste. The real problem is that they don't seem to have a plan to go forward with any Superman incarnation at all, even if you can argue that letting Cavill go could be a good first step.

Now that he's older he will fit the role better.

I'm pretty gutted. He was one of the highlights of the casting for me, loved Man of Steel, and thought he deserved another great standalone. We knew he had it in him to do it. And now not only do we miss out on him but we irreparably fracture the DCEU. I don't care what Warner Bros. plans are, they have not made the right decision.

From a THR editor:

"As for who broke up with whom, Warner Bros. was the one who decided to move on from Henry Cavill."

People still believed this would happen? With all that happened, Superman is not exactly a priority, and with the possible Supergirl movie, she'll probably take his "role" in the movie universe. The worst thing is that it might take a while until we see another movie, not unlike what happened with Superman Returns and Man of Steel.

[Doctor Know]

I truly don't understand how WB/DC/Snyder/whoever botched this so badly.

Makes you appreciate what MCU has done and hell... makes you appreciate what Fox has been able to do as well

Chasing the rabbit and undercutting the directors. What George Lucas warned about executives and shareholders thinking they can micromanage the creative process.

Like Supergirl, that sounds like chasing the rabbit. No real ideas or direction. Just looking for a quick validation.

Whether or not this is true, it's obvious they are looking to build a new universe altogether. If that Flash movie ever happens, it looks like it may be a Flashpoint film in some form or another with a completely different Superman and Batman coming out of it. Not that I'm complaining. The idea of a Batman who was on his way out while all the other characters were just getting started always seemed kind of dumb to me. The Cyborg movie looks like it's on hold indefinitely. The DCEU seems to be in the same boat as the current X-films. With an uncertain future as to what will be kept and what won't.

TBF, Jordan would be a perfect Val-Zod.

Is this proof Superman is impossible to do on big screen?
