Actor Henry Cavill as DCEU's Superman

According to Hollywood Reporter , actor Henry Cavill has just terminated his contract with Warner Bros., officially leaving the role of Superman in the DCEU films (DC movie universe). It is known that his abandonment of the role stems from the disagreement of the two sides during the negotiation of Superman's cameo role in the movie Shazam, because Henry Cavill wants time to play the lead role in Netflix's The Watcher .

With the loss of the actor, Warner Bros said the company doesn't have any plans for Superman, at least for a few more years, and will instead focus on Supergirl. According to the company, Superman is quite similar to James Bond, 2 roles after a while, they have to replace actors.

The source also said that Ben Affleck is also considering abandoning the role of Batman, and ceding this role to younger actors in director Matt Reeves' movie dedicated to this character.

Warner Bros Studios will most likely give up the DC Film Universe entirely to start over

To this day, Henry Cavill has played several "Steel Man" three times in DC films, first in the movie 'origin' Man of Steel in 2013, then in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 to fight Batman, and the last time was Justice League in 2017.

With the departure of Henry Cavill (and most likely Ben Affleck), Warner Bros. is also planning to tear down the entire DC Universe system and start over. This idea was probably also partly confirmed by WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey at a shareholder meeting when he said, "Some of the studio's series, including DC, I think we have could do better ".
