Henry Cavill leaves a forever mark on every role he touches. This happened for his portrayal of White Wolf and more for his iconic red cape and blue suit supe for Man of Steel. Fans warmly welcomed and cherished his version of Superman and, to an extent, they did not want to see anyone but him. The world witnessed the rage of his dedicated fandom when DC announced his exit from the superhero universe. They called out the new CEOs of DC Studios to take away the most eligible man to play the character. Now months after all that chaos and heartbreaks fans are again weeping for their beloved star on this special anniversary.

Flash Film News shared out a video featuring Henry Cavill on X, formerly Twitter. The post recalled the day when the actor announced his return as Superman in Black Adam. He posted this clip on his Instagram on October 24, 2o22, which completed a year yesterday. The 40-year-old thanked all his fans for patiently waiting for his return and officially confirmed that he will be back as Superman.

The video filled viewers with excitement at the time, thinking about his face-off with another powerful character, Teth Adam. Unfortunately, moviegoers never got to watch the dawn of Cavill’s Superman as creators wanted to explore another version of the superhero. That phase turned out quite difficult for both fans and DC as the franchise faced massive backlash for their decision.

Despite all that criticism, James Gunn and Peter Safran remained firm on what they planned and have moved ahead with it ever since. However, fans still find other ways to hold on to Cavill by recalling moments where he showed true dedication to the Superman role. And this throwback video indeed made them feel many emotions at once.

Fans sob on the anniversary when Henry Cavill announced his return as Superman 

Seeing the post, fans of Henry Cavill took to the comment section to express their disappointment about the turnout of events. While some shared crying GIFs, others showed sympathy for the way he was treated. According to them, the Stardust star deserves better and DC should not have replaced him because he was the best.

In fact, many said that he was the only actor who embodied this iconic character perfectly. Not only this, he was the rightful successor to the throne, but since everything had changed, they felt sorry for him that he got excited about nothing back then.

No matter how fans feel about their beloved actor, DC has moved forward with their new Superman, David Corenswet. While the actor adores Cavill’s dark and gritty take on Superman, his transformation itself looks so promising. And if James Gunn’s affirmation is to be considered about how the new casting blew his mind with their acting chops, the new saga might heal the fanatics’ wounds post Cavill’s exit.
