Henry Cavill Will Not Return As Superman: “My Turn To Wear The Cape Has Passed”

“We can mourn for a bit, but then, we must remember…Superman is still around, wrote the actor. Henry Cavill, who is the first image that comes to our mind when we think of Superman, has confirmed in an Instagram post that he won’t be playing the superhero in the DC Universe anymore. “My time to wear the cape has passed,” he said in a statement, moments after James Gunn, who has become the new co-CEO of DC Studios along with Peter Safran, announced his exit as Superman. The actor’s statement arrived a few days after it was reported that James Gunn and Peter Safran are planning to close the curtains of Man of Steel 2, which would have shown him wearing the red cape again. The 39-year-old actor, who recently announced his return to the cape after his cameo in Warner Bros and DC’s Black Adam, wrote, “I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it’s sad news, everyone. I will, after all, not be returning as Superman.”
