Just weeks after announcing his return as Superman to the DC films, Henry Cavill has been kicked out of the Justice League once again.
“I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran,” Cavill posted to his Instagram feed Wednesday. “I will, after all, not be returning as Superman. After being told by
the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.
“For those who have been by my side through the years . . . .we can mourn for a bit, but then we must remember . . . Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there! My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards.”
