Henry Cavill has shared the "sad news" with fans that he will not be returning to reprise his role as Superman, as previously announced. The British actor said the reversed decision "isn’t the easiest" but that he respected the decision of newly instated DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran.
It comes as Gunn announced that a new Superman film was in the works, more details of which are due to be announced in 2023. Cavill played the legendary DC role in the 2013 Man Of Steel film and again in 2016 for Batman Vs Superman, alongside Ben Affleck.
His return to the character was revealed less than two months ago in a post-credits scene of Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero film Black Adam, with Cavill posting a video on Instagram confirming the news. But, writing on Instagram on Wednesday, he said: "I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it’s sad news, everyone.
