Henry Cavill Reacts To Being Fired (Again) From 'Superman'

Two things have become clear: 1) Henry Cavill is one of the most gracious people on the planet.

Cavill basically got treated like crap by DC - yet he's getting a ton of sympathy from the fans. In contrast Amber Heard got a universally negative response once people discovered what she was REALLY like. (Her OWN recordings and other evidence made her come across as a toxic psycho).

I don’t think James Gunn is happy about it. He’s cracking under the permanent damage that the previous dictators of DC Films have brought upon their company.

Marvel had an unprecedented run of success between 2008-19, but even they've fallen apart lately too. The current MCU is a hodgepodge of 2nd tier franchises, B list actors, and a growing slate of nauseating streaming series pushing insane agendas for Disney+ post-Endgame. Do you realize how utterly abysmal the current MCU would now be considered by fans and critics alike without the Spiderman films carrying it? The fall from grace that Marvel is currently trapped in leads me to believe their clock has finally struck midnight, and their carriage is turning back into a pumpkin. Besides Spiderman, I've seen nothing out of Marvel recently to suggest they aren't also reverting back to the same old Marvel everyone scoffed at in Hollywood prior to 2008. Sure, Marvel still has solid capital with audiences they built up in Phases 1-3, but the half-life on said capital is shorter than ever before. Don't believe me? Look no further than Star Wars. The most spellbinding and successful IP in cinematic history has become little more than a punchline amongst it's own fans.

Henry Cavill made the best of Superman movie

[@johntuttle2825]

So sad for Henry. I thought he played a great Superman next to Christopher Reeves. Does not seem fair. I hope he comes back in some kind of superhero in the future. I've heard of a lot of shake-ups here lately. I hope it gets better.

[@chrisredfield2533]

Henry was and is the best superman there's ever been and potentially ever will be. What's most upsetting is how amazing Henry is as a person. He brings so much passion and life to each character and works so hard for the fans. Even though he's loved, I still feel that's he's incredibly underated.

[@alanrayne1693]

He is not underrated at all. Everyone knows he is a top tier actor, and he listed as such. But he is just unlucky that he had to work with idiots.

[@carolcorder344]

Great reply. It’s all true.

[@minecraftman392]

I wouldnt go as far as to say that he was the best and will be the best there ever was as their were other very amazing actors such as Christopher reeves who brought to life the role of superman. There are many generations that had their own favorites and times where things were different. Many argue chris was the best supes for how he acted the role and many say henry was the best replacement after chris’ passing. There may even be another new supes after this one that the younger generation learns to love. Its all a matter of opinion

[@bellabana]

Nope, Henry Caval is such a wooden actor, he’s very limited in his acting ability. He was not only boring as Superman but the movies were weak as well plus the fact he had zero chemistry with Amy Adams didn’t help either.

[@ValentinasWatching]

Man....poor Henry. I can't imagine what was going on in his head. I'm glad he found a way to bring Warhammer to live action, so that he can dive into something he loves and stay busy. Also, people have the misconception that he quit The Witcher for Superman. That's not the case. He had creative differences with the showrunners because they didn't even like the books or the video games, which he loves deeply. They were steering away from the story lines that everybody loves, so he decided to leave. The Black Adam project just seemed to be one of those things lined up that he had already talked about earlier on with The Rock.

[@judsdragon]

thats gotta be the most magnanimous response to basically being shit on by the studio, when a lot of actors/actresses might have felt vindicated in throwing some shade around henry not only takes it like a champ but thanks them for the time he was there and wishes them luck for the future, its people like henry and keanu that make me think that at least there are some in hollyweird with morals and ethics and are willing to stand firm in them without being tarnished by that sludge pit of cynicism and back stabbing

[@Musclemachoman]

I won't watch any coming Superman movie without Henry Cavill, he is the one and that's it

[@lgmxgrmx2088]

That hurted me so bad. I will try my best to not be bitter but I also know that at this point I am just going to leave it there and not be really interested in DC movie stuff anymore. I think Gunn came in from the bigining with the intention of firing everyome and hire his own new puppets. The guy left The Witcher to be in the DCU. The Rock just came into the franchise. I mean the nerve he would have if he kept The Suicide Squad and PeaceMaker. Gunn could have at least do a send off movie for the cast then restart. A studio that can't even respect their actors, how the hell will they ever going their or even try to respect their fans, it's all about the money. They just ignore the people that are going to make yhem eaen the money. Not giving the fans what they want is not a really good business model at all. What to expect from a studio that can't respect it's actors ?

[@zerodrk3011]

The Studio setup Cavill, they had him announce that he was back, while the contract negotiations were going on for James Gunn. James Gunn was probably working on this take over for a while. He worked on Brightburn and then in Peacemaker he had the Justice League appear at the end. The studio just wants to pay younger actors on the lower end of the pay scale instead of paying top dollar for Affleck, Godot, and Cavill and Momoa.

[@keenfire8151]

He is probably happy honestly. Now he gets to act and be the executive producer for a Warhammer 40k show. Over 40 years of Warhammer and there hasn't been a 'real' movie or show made about it. The cinematic future of Warhammer is resting on his shoulders.

[@MillenniumFalcon]

Totally agree. It's the kind of reverse fortune and studio politics that would brainwash a hero to work for Darkseid. It's just cool that Henry Cavill is such a nice guy and didn't lose it for quitting Witcher over a false promise. Hopefully he'll make bank and give an awesome performance to dish in it all back in Warhammer.

I’m not even a fan of DC movies yet even I know that this is a HUGE mistake. Just like recasting Batman 🤦🏾‍♀️. DC keeps grasping at straws and they’d be better off just sticking to what they have. Consistency helps.

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

I ABSOLUTELY dont understand why they fire Henry Cavil. Each time he was superman, every scene, was so iconic and badass... I personally dont give a shit about comis and that universe, but this Superman was a beast. The way he was beating up the main antagonist, when he was wearing his black costume, and throwing some eye laser shots in between the between, was so FUCKING awesome.

[@combatbeatdown]

They should make a send off film for his Superman if they’re really going down this route. A proper send off.

[@jimm2434]

Both of those men from the WB are lying about Superman. They have cancelled it. They’re not doing a younger version. When Black Adam had Superman returning. Audiences were screaming with the return of Henry as Superman. Why would you cancel something fans are actually screaming for. I’ve never heard screaming like that in year’s. That’s a Multi Billion Dollar Box Office International Smash Hit all over it. It’s not even written yet. This is year’s in the making. C’mon. Anyone knows that. Aquaman 2 (a Biilion Dollar box office smash for the first one) has been cancelled, Thor has been cancelled. Yes, another one was being made before his retirement. Multiple others were being cancelled by these 2 at the WB. Multiple Entertainment Outlets have been reporting it. All DC WB productions are cancelled. Henry was not fired, Jason wasn’t fired & neither were the other’s. Unless they were but, the actors themselves didn’t leave. I do know that a petition was signed for 238,000 signatures. Both WB people didn’t care about the petition & that the fans signed them. They were doing as they pleased. Proof positive. If the don’t care about the ticket holder then it stands to reason they are running the WB into the ground. You don’t walk away from a Multi Billion Dollar International Block Buster like Henry/Superman. These 2 need to be replaced immediately.
