Cavill is out as Superman

Cavill is out as Superman, Gunn has announced on Twitter.

Gunn is writing a new Superman. Gunn says DC Studios will focus on a young Superman.

Gunn’s Tweet is here.

A story about it is up on Variety’s site.

Cavill has reacted quite professionally on an Instagram post. An interesting detail, to me, is Cavill says WB Discovery apparently asked Cavill to make that announcement in October about being back as Superman.

Variety says Cavill may be used in another role at DC.

Variety also reports that the J.J. Abrams’ and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Superman movie is still in active development. Although, movies get stuck in development all the time. I think it means next to nothing that it’s still in development. Until DC Studios make a big announcement, don’t bank on J.J. Abrams’ and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Superman happening.
