Looks like Henry Cavill will not longer be portraying Superman. WB is shelving the character for now and instead working on developing a Supergirl movie.
It's kinda too bad because I really enjoyed Man of Steel. But Batman V. Superman was just all kinds of bad, and based off the performance of Justice League, showed that it was going to be super difficult for the Cavill Superman franchise to recover from that.

They totally fucked the character. Nobody has enough time to get to know either Clark Kent or the Superman character, zero discussion of which persona is doing what. I don't think anybody actually cared that Superman died in BvS or that he came back in Justice League.
Sad because I think Cavill could have nailed it if given the right materials.

I believe the new info on him is that he is not fully out...yet. So there is still a chance he will come back as Superman just later down the line. I really hope they give him the pay raise he deserves, at least IMO. I think he has the perfect look and with the right story and direction could really set a new precedent for Superman.

I honestly DGAF and that is sad. I liked that Snyder tried to do something different but the writing was just not there. And before anyone jumps down my throat for thinking I wanting something more lighthearted like the Marvel flicks that would be a NO. Nolan did a great job putting a serious edge with the Batman films and I think that could have been done with Superman as well. I just thought the plot was full of holes and pretty boring.
