End of an era? Henry Cavill will not return as Superman

Henry Cavill posted several posts on his social networks, where he stressed that in the new films in the DC Universe, Superman's cape will go to someone else.

I just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran (new DC executives) and I have some sad news for everyone. As a result, I will not return as Superman.

After being asked by the studio to announce my return back in October, before they were hired, it's not easy news, but that's life.

There's a "changing of the guard" going on right now, and I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and everyone involved with the new universe good luck.

For those who have been by my side over the years... We may grieve a little more, but it's important to remember that Superman is still around. All the values he stands for are still there and the example he sets for us is still there! My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman represents will never pass. It was a fun adventure with all of you,” he said.

It is noteworthy that Cavill also refused to participate in the filming of the following episodes of The Witcher from Netflix. The third season will be the last for the actor.
