Cavill's major gaff here was playing hardball with the studio when they were vulnerable. There were things they wanted to do that his (alledged) stonewalling for more cash and more perks prevented.
With my personality type I can't blame the studio for how it responded. My response to that kind of "betrayal " would have been immediate dismissal followed by regarding him the way the wedding planner in Melancholia regarded the erstwhile bride.
