Henry Cavill no longer playing #Superman- Reports

The DC cinematic universe might have just gone through the death and rebirth of Superman, but an explosive new report suggests that it could be losing its Man of Steel for good.
The Hollywood Reporter, citing sources close to Warner Bros., is reporting that after talks for a potential, long-rumored cameo in Shazam! collapsed due to scheduling issues, Henry Cavill will be hanging up his red cape as the studio quietly shifts focus away from Superman’s central place in its sprawling universe of DC Comics movies.
The report suggests the reason behind Cavill’s—who was just cast in the lead role for Netflix’s major new fantasy series, an adaptation of the beloved Witcher novels—exit from the role is because of the studio’s decision to pivot towards introducing Kal-El’s cousin Supergirl into the movie universe.
Citing the fact that part of Supergirl’s origin in the comics was that she was sent to guide her younger infant cousin on Earth after Krypton’s destruction (and ignoring that she was waylaid thanks to an accident along the way, meaning she arrived after Kal had become Superman), the studio allegedly believes this is a chance to move on from the character established in Man of Steel and have a soft reset that would allow for the introduction of another actor as Superman in the future.
