British actor Henry Cavill is reportedly out of DC’s Superman movies, after a recent deal fell through with Warner Brothers.
However, a source told THR that the impasse came before Cavill’s decision to join Netflix’s series, which means Warner Bros. may have decided to go in a new direction for Superman, THR reported.
The “Shazam!” deal is believed to have been a critical role for Cavill’s potential to appear in other Superman movies in the future.
The DC Universe also has a “Supergirl” movie planned, featuring the teen girl superheroine, reported THR. However, the different time frame in the “Supergirl” storyline means Cavill’s character Kal-El would still be a baby.
Henry Cavill has worn the red cape in three Superman movies, including “Man of Steel” in 2103, “Batman v. Superman” in 2016, and “Justice League” in 2017.
