Yeah Cavill got screwed lol.

I hate how DC's movie division is nowhere as well organized as Marvel.

Imagine them with a competent lead (which I hope Gunn can become) - would make Marvel run for its money cause MCU Phase 4 has been worse than the past two phases.

I hate gunn now since he is leaving Cavill out of it.

I doubt this was just James Gunn's and Safran's decision, but more from the higher-ups at WB Discovery saying the bottom line comes first. And unfortunately for Henry Cavill, he was on the chopping block. WB have been bleeding money for the last couple of years and they have to cut their losses somewhere. And a reboot with a new cast would save them a lot of money in future films. They are recasting for a young Superman so there's that. And for now, it looks hopeful that Ben Affeck will still be involved somewhat being a director for a new film.

Sucks for Henry Cavill though.. he quit The Witcher (because of the shows direction) and then WB Discovery fired him. At least he has a new opportunity with a Warhammer 40K series by Amazon, which should be fairly interesting.

But yeah after Black Adam, Matrix etc WB doing terribly in the box office amongst the other failed DC films, they really needed a big shakeup.
