Despite disappointing the Witchers’ fans, Henry Cavill’s return as Superman is a dream come true for all DC fanatics. In MCU language, Henry Cavill is just like Robert Downey Jr.
Cavill’s Man of Steel kick-started the DCEU, and the current DCEU was recently renamed DCU [DC Universe]. After Zack Snyder’s dismissal from all the DC projects, Cavill’s future came in jeopardy.
Joss Wheadon’s Justice League’s poor run in the box office did not help his future. After speculation of a soft reboot with the upcoming Flash movie, Henry Cavill’s Superman was going to face extinction without any official announcement.
But recent changes in Warner Brothers studio came hugely in favor of the British actor. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Black Adam’s post-credit scene confirmed Cavill’s official return as Superman. But sadly, the actor was forced to leave the Witcher project due to scheduling and creative conflicts.
