PEAK TDS : Professor LITERALLY Shoots Himself To Protest Trump
September 12, 2018I’m WAY more into the Marvel movies than DC, but I thought DC got it right with two things: The casting of Gal Gadot for Wonder Woman and Henry Cavill for Superman. I mean, have you SEEN him? Here. Lemme help you.
He’s just DASHING.
Also, he loves dogs.
Here he is as Superman.
I mean, COME ON. It doesn’t get better than that, which is why I’m sad to deliver this news: It looks like he will no longer be Superman.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros., sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The British actor, who first donned the blue suit for 2013’s Man of Steel, and then starred in 2016’s Batman v. Superman and last year’s Justice League, is said to be hanging up the red cape.
Warners had been trying to enlist Cavill, who most recently co-starred in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, for a Superman cameo in Shazam!, which stars Zachary Levi and will bow April 5. But contract talks between Cavill’s WME reps and Warners broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances.
“While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged,” read a statement from a Warner Bros. spokesperson after the initial publication of this story.
Word has it they’re not doing any solo Superman movies any time soon anyway, but STILL.
Furthermore, Warners isn’t likely to make a solo Superman film for at least several years, according to another source. “Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors,” says a studio source. As such, Cavill will join Ben Affleck, who isn’t expected to reprise his role for director Matt Reeves’ forthcoming Batman stand-alone film, as a hero on the way out.
People have all the feels.
THIS JUST IN: Henry Cavill no longer playing Superman for WB and DC. No cameo in Shazam, either. Wow.

I'm sad for Henry Cavill.
He was an amazing Superman brought into a mess of a universe where he was never given an opportunity to thrive or truly define his role.
At least he'll land more awesome roles in the future. #MustacheForever pic.twitter.com/ChVUcAsbmc

Henry Cavill had the potential to be a great #Superman. We saw sparks of that in Man of Steel, but those sparks were smothered by Batman V Superman and Justice League.
DC’s loss hopefully we get to see more of Cavill in roles like Fallout and Man From UNCLE. https://t.co/t9vcjF5vYx

Waiting for WB, Henry Cavill, or anyone to say anything official about this Superman mess is a pain I never knew I could feel pic.twitter.com/MYe4afjlYb

This sucks. While I wasn’t necessarily happy with the DC movies I thought they had the right actors. Henry Cavill was #Superman. Am I the only one? https://t.co/KMwu8prYl7

My feelings EXACTLY. Minus Ben Affleck being Batman. That was horrific. Word has it he’s on his way out too.
With Henry Cavill out as Superman, there is only ONE man who can fill the role: Nic Cage pic.twitter.com/YEz3mu164n
