DCEU: Cavill out as Superman

Do they recast? Or just start over?

Leave Superman alone for now. It's obvious many people have not liked this take on the character.

Always thought he looked the part very well, but we never really got to see him be a fully realized Superman. The closest we got were the few glimpses in Justice League. I would have liked to have seen what he could do when given more of a chance to, well, BE Superman. Oh well.

They will probably recast. I don't think they will do a complete reboot. Perhaps a soft one so they can keep the WW movie in continuity.

No surprise here. Still, it's a shame. I thought he did fine with the role and I enjoyed MoS.

If Cavill and Affleck are both gone then just reboot! Can carry on the Gadot Wonder Woman films as a separate entity.

They need to start over. It's beyond time.

It's almost like he just wanted an excuse to leave and the Shazam thing gave him the chance. Cuz I mean, walking over a cameo? Lol.

His contract was up so he was negotiating a new rate going forward with them I guess.

Shame he never got a chance to shine in a well received Superman film.

Just reboot the entire DCEU. DC needs to admit defeat.

Yeah a shame. Still, remember that one time he snapped Zod's neck? LOL!

They should just start over with Shazam

Cavill was well cast, too bad the writing/directing didn let him fully flesh out the character. Same with Wonder Woman.

Wonder where this leaves the 2020 Flashpoint based film. Though I guess they could potentially use that film to do a soft reboot due to time travel/alternate realities.

Imo, they should scrap everything planned and do a hard reboot after two-three years.

what a shame.but why?, just why??, why!!!!!!????? somebody under the heavens tell me why!!!!!!!!!!!!.

There really wont be another like cavill, this is a shame.

They don't have the guts to start all over again.

They'll go back to the stand-alone formula. They kinda already have; see the Phoenix Joker film.

Rumors already starting that the next Superman could be cast as a *gasp* not White actor. Michael B. Jordan and an Asian man I've not heard of have been thrown around. Would be funny as certain people would lose their shit.

I think Cavill's counterpart in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Armie Hammer could be a good fit. He has the look, is a decent actor and would only be around 35 in 3 or so years.

Never mind. Inside joke that only I would get.

I'm just not that upset by this. It isn't Cavill's fault that the DCEU ended up faring so poorly, but he wasn't very good in the role, and I think letting him go was a wise decision.
